CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS PD-1 up-regulation is correlated with HIV-specific memory CD8 T-cell exhaustion in typical progressors but not in long-term nonprogressors
The immunoreceptor PD-1 is significantly up-regulated on exhausted CD8 T cells during chronic viral infections such as HIV-1. However, it remains unknown whether PD-1 expression on CD8 T cells differs between typical progressors (TPs) and long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs). In this report, we examined PD-1 expression on HIV-specific CD8 T cells from 63 adults with chronic HIV infection. We found ...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Immune activation set point during early HIV infection predicts subsequent CD4 T-cell changes independent of viral load
Although generalized T-cell activation is an important factor in chronic HIV disease pathogenesis, its role in primary infection remains poorly defined. To investigate the effect of immune activation on T-cell changes in subjects with early HIV infection, and to test the hypothesis that an immunologic activation “set point” is established early in the natural history of HIV disease, a prospecti...
متن کاملDifferential impact of PD-1 and/or interleukin-10 blockade on HIV-1-specific CD4 T cell and antigen-presenting cell functions.
UNLABELLED Antigen persistence in chronic infections and cancer upregulates inhibitory networks, such as the PD-1 and interleukin-10 (IL-10) pathways, that impair immunity and lead to disease progression. These pathways are attractive targets for immunotherapy, as demonstrated by recent clinical trials of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in cancer patients. However, in HIV-1 infection not all subjects respo...
متن کاملInterferon-Alpha Administration Enhances CD8+ T Cell Activation in HIV Infection
BACKGROUND Type I interferons play important roles in innate immune defense. In HIV infection, type I interferons may delay disease progression by inhibiting viral replication while at the same time accelerating disease progression by contributing to chronic immune activation. METHODS To investigate the effects of type I interferons in HIV-infection, we obtained cryopreserved peripheral blood...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Loss of circulating CD27 memory B cells and CCR4 T cells occurring in association with elevated EBV loads in XLP patients surviving primary EBV infection
Detailed longitudinal studies of patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) may increase our understanding of the immunologic defects that contribute to the development of lymphoma and hypogammaglobulinemia in XLP. We describe progressive changes observed in immunoglobulin concentrations, lymphocyte subsets, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) loads occurring in a 2-year period in a newl...
