Abstract
Viruses, including the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), have evolved multiple strategies to overcome host immune defenses, allowing them to persist in the host. Molecular and cellular approaches were simultaneously used to provide sensitive and unbiased delineation of the diversity and dynamics of the immune response, and to study the relative compartimentalization of HIV-specific CTL clones in patients undergoing primary HIV infection. This approach revealed that some HIV-specific CTL clones can be deleted in presence of high levels of antigen, a phenomenon analogous to high-dose tolerance or clonal exhaustion described in murine models of persistent viral infections. Also, HIV-specific CTL clones were found to accumulate preferentially in peripheral blood as compared to lymph nodes, even though the large majority of viral replication during primary HIV infection takes place within lymph nodes. These two mechanisms may decrease the effectiveness of the host cell-mediated immune responses, and favor the establishment of virus persistence during primary HIV infection.
