Abstract:
:CD4(+) T cell help is important for the functionality of CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) in limiting viral replication and may contribute to mediation of apparent resistance to HIV-1 infection in exposed seronegative (ESN) individuals. Using five HIV-1 antigens in an intracellular cytokine assay, the presence of specific antigen-responsive interferon- gamma-positive (IFN-gamma(+)) CD69(+) CD4(+) T-lymphocytes was evaluated in ESNs, their seropositive partners, and unexposed seronegative controls. Ten ESNs (five females, five uncircumcised males) were identified from 10 HIV-1 serodiscordant couples with a history of frequent unprotected sexual intercourse. All ESNs and controls were negative on two EIAs and for HIV-1 proviral DNA. The frequency of ESNs with antigen-responsive IFN-gamma(+) CD69(+) CD4(+) T-lymphocytes ranged from three to five of eight for the different HIV-1 antigens. Six of eight ESNs tested had a positive response to at least one of the five antigens. Responses were on average 3.5 times higher among seropositives compared to ESNs and absent in the five unexposed controls. A negative correlation was noted between responses in ESNs and the plasma viral load of their seropositive spouse. Clade-specific and cross-clade reactivity were noted in both ESNs and seropositive partners tested. The findings confirm that ESNs are in a state of HIV-1-specific immune activation and suggest that HIV-1-specific IFN-gamma(+) CD69(+) CD4(+) T-lymphocytes in addition to HIV-1-specific CD8(+) CTLs already described by others are potential immunological correlates of protection from persistent HIV-1 infection.
