Notes

• CD4 T-cell responses in 36 HIV-1 positive individuals in different disease stages were mapped by IFN-γ EliSpot using a panel of 410 B-consensus peptides spanning all HIV proteins. Virus specific CD4+ T-cell responses (median=7, range of magnitude=990) were detected in 30/36 patients.
• This peptide was recognized by 11% of the study group.
• Gag and Nef responses dominated the CD4+ T-cell EliSpot responses in the study. No correlation between plasma viremia and the frequency or magnitude of HIV-1-specific responses was observed.
• The most HIV-1 specific CD4+ T-cell responses were observed in acutely infected patients with treatment of primary infection who stopped after 1-3 treatments (acute STI), compared to patients continuing therapy. People with therapy during chronic infection had low responses; higher numbers of responses were seen among untreated people. 2/9 LTNPs responded to many peptides, comparable to acute STI.

Notes

• The study demonstrated that HIV-1-specific IL-21 CD4+ T cell responses might contribute to the control of viral replication in humans. Specifically, triggering of IL-21 by CD4+ T cells was significantly enriched in HIV-1 controllers, while loss of IL-21-secreting CD4+ was characteristic for subjects with persistent viremia and progressive disease. Expansion of IL-21 CD4+ T cells in acute infection resulted in lower viral set points. IL-21 production by CD4+ T cells of HIV controllers enhanced perforin production by HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells from chronic progressors even in late stages of disease, and effector CD8+ T cells were more efficient in inhibiting viral replication in vitro after IL-21 binding.
• This peptide belongs to a set of overlapping peptides spanning HIV Gag. It elicited IL-21 secretion but not IFN-γ secretion in one HIV controller.
