Notes

• Since HIV-1 infected peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) are functionally impaired in their role as antigen presenting cells (APCs), novel CTL responses in an asymptomatic HIV-patient were primed by using blood-derived DCs from healthy donors as APCs instead. Both epitope peptides and endogenously processed epitope antigen were now recognizable.
• CTL from an HLA-A*0201 positive subject reacted to a previously characterized peptide SLYNTVATL.

Allogeneic Dendritic Cell Induction of HIV-Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses from T Cells of HIV Type 1-Infected and Uninfected Individuals. AIDS Res. Hum. Retroviruses, 13:33-39, 1997. The potential benefit of T cell-based vaccination for HIV-1 infection remains to be determined. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) appear to clear substantial populations of HIV-1 virus in vivo, although CTL activity may contribute to the decline in CD4+ T cell count observed in the course of the disease. To investigate further the role of specific CTL responses in the control of HIV-1 replication, we raised primary CTL lines against a panel of conserved HIV-1 epitopes using blood-derived dendritic cells as antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Specific primary human CTL responses were induced against HLA-A*0201-restricted peptides with dendritic cells from HIV-1-seronegative donors. This method of immunization elicited cytotoxic activities capable of recognizing endogenously processed antigen. The CTL induction protocol was extended in order to explore the capacity of HLA-matched allogeneic dendritic cells to evoke novel CTL responses in T cells from an HIV-seropositive asymptomatic individual. Allogeneic peptide-pulsed dendritic cells from a healthy sibling were capable of eliciting a CTL response directed against an HIV epitope (env814: SLLNATDIAV) that was initially not detected in the CTL effector population of the HIV-1- infected patient. The possibility of manipulating CTL specificity directed against multiple conserved HIV-1 epitopes represents a significant step in the evaluation of T cell-based vaccination for treatment of disease.

Notes

• Since HIV-1 infected peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) are functionally impaired in their role as antigen presenting cells (APCs), novel CTL responses in an asymptomatic HIV-patient were primed by using blood-derived DCs from healthy donors as APCs instead. Both epitope peptides and endogenously processed epitope antigen were now recognizable.
• CTL from an HLA-A*0201 positive subject did not react with previously characterized peptide SLLNATDIAV (Env814). Upon stimulation with a healthy sibling's DCs that had been primed with this peptide, however, the subject's CTL were able to mount a response to Env814 whether presented as (a) JY cells pulsed with Env814 or (b) APCs presenting Env814 after infection with recombinant vaccinia expressing HIV Env.
