Competing Interests
I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: MLS is currently employed by RainDance Technologies, Inc., which provided support for some of the droplet digital PCR assays performed in this study to measure HIV and host gene expression. TN and MH are employed by GalPharma Co., Ltd., which designed and provided the recombinant, stable form galectin-9 used in our study, and supported experiments to evaluate the safety and tolerability of recombinant galactic-9 in the Lewis rat model. These relationships do not alter our adherence to all PLoS Pathogens policies on sharing data and materials.
