Notes

To comprehensively compare Gag-specific cellular immunity against HIV-1 versus HIV-2, 20 subjects each infected with HIV-1 or -2, and with similar CD4+ counts were tested for CTL response to Gag peptide pools. No significant difference was seen in magnitude/breadth of CTL response, immunodominance and frequency of targeted Gag peptides, and cross-recognition.
HIV-2 epitope TPYDINQML is cross-reactive with its HIV-1 variants, TPQDLNTML and TPQDLNMML when tested as a part of longer peptides. B53 restriction of this epitope is previously published.

Notes

To compare HIV-1 and HIV-2 CTL responses to Gag as far as homologous levels of response and cross-reactivity, 12 consecutive Gag OLP pools were used with cells from 17 HIV-1 and 17 HIV-2 patients in enhanced IFN-gamma ELISpot assays. Gag-specific homologous CTL responses were significantly higher in HIV-2 patients, but cross-reactivity in HIV-1-infected patients was broader and stronger.
Cross-reactivity correlated with sequence similarity in HIV-2 patients, but not HIV-1 patients. CD4+ T-cell counts of HIV-2-infected patients correlated directly with homologous responses and inversely with cross-reactive responses; this was not true of HIV-1-infected subjects.
The authors favor a model in which high HIV-2-specific CTL responses control its replication, containing immune evasion and thus limiting the possibility of cross-reaction to HIV-1 homologous epitopes.
HIV-2 Gag epitope TPYDINQML is not cross-recognized with its homologous HIV-1 epitope, TPQDLNMML.

Notes

CD8 T-cell responses were evaluated and compared in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infected individuals living in the Gambia. A significantly greater magnitude and breadth of Gag-specific responses were found in HIV-1 infected individuals, possibly because of low or undetectable viral loads in HIV-2 infected individuals. This finding suggests that responses in HIV-2 infection reflect antigen load in plasma, as is the case in HIV-1 infection. No correlation was found between immune control of HIV-2 and the frequency of perforin-expressing virus-specific CD8 T-cells.
5/7 HIV-1-infected B53-positive subjects recognized TPQDLNMML, the HIV-1 version of this epitope. 3/3 HIV-2-infected B53-positive subjects responded to TPYDINQML, the HIV-2 version of the epitope.

Notes

HIV-2 Gag-specific responses were studied in 9 Gambian HIV-2 patients. High levels of HIV-2 Gag-specific CTL were found in all B*53+ patients.
Two HIV-2-positive B*53+ patients reacted to this epitope, but failed to react to the HIV-1 equivalent peptide. One HIV-1-positive B*53+ patient failed to react to this HIV-2 epitope. Thus, this epitope is unlikely to provide HIV1/HIV2 cross-protection.

Notes

To study immune correlations with natural HIV-2 control, a cohort in Guinea-Bissau was studied for 2 decades. 33 controllers were significantly associated with a CTL response that was high-magnitude and polyfunctional. The CTL response was of restricted breadth as it was to a specific epitope for the most part, as opposed to similar HIV-1 associated CTL - 80% of the controllers mounted a response to only one HIV-2 epitope. There was no correlation with perforin upregulation. Gag-specific, but not Env-specific responses defined viral control.
HLA-B*5301-restricted immunodominant HIV-2 p26 epitope, TPYDINQML, may contribute to viral control as seen by EliSpot.

Notes

This longitudinal case study in 1 patient found 3 amino acid substitutions - V286I in Gag and K303T, N337K/R in Env with an increase in HIV-2 load. Sites encompassing these 3 substitutions are candidates for HIV-2 epitopes.
Epitope TPYDINQML of Gag 182-190 (relative to strain SMM239), restricted by HLA-B*5801, showed no changes in this patient.

Notes

CTL lymphopoietic potential and virus suppressive capacity were studied in 20 cART-naive, HIV-2-positive subjects with controlled viremia (HIC2). Production of HIV-2 Gag-specific CTL with (1) early memory differentiation as well as (2) robust effector potential was preserved in HIC2.
7/20 subjects were B*5301-positive and all recognized immunodominant Gag p24 epitope TPYDINQML (TL9).
