The immune response to HIV Supplement to Nature Publishing Group Nina Bhardwaj, Florian Hladik and Susan Moir Since HIV was discovered as the causative agent of AIDS almost 30 years ago, HIV infection has become a devastating pandemic, with millions of individuals becoming infected and dying from HIV-related disease every year. A global research effort over the past three decades has discovered more about HIV than perhaps any other pathogen. Immunologists continue to be intrigued by the capacity of HIV to effectively knock out an essential component of the Breaching the mucosal barrier Donor virus population Stratified squamous epithelium Vagina or ectocervix Inserted HIV genome Endocervix HIV virion Infected intraepithelial CD4+ T cell Impermeable tight junctions between cells CD1a+ Langerhans cell Langerin Advanced disease HIV penetration and infection A few hours Increased number of immature transitional B cells CCR5 HIV uptake by DC-SIGN blocks DC maturation APOBEC3G Conventional DC Lack of effective antiviral immunity CD8+ T cell response 1 week NK cell Type I IFNs NK cell activation Draining lymphatic vessels Early infection HIV-specific B cell and antibody response CD8 TCR T cell + MHC class I Follicular B cell Clonal expansion of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells IL-10 HIV-bearing DC TReg cell Activated mature B cell Increased B cell apoptosis and GC destruction Inadequate CD4+ T cell help Exhausted memory B cell Increased in association with HIV viraemia Follicular DC Decreased number of resting memory B cells and splenic marginal zone B cells Inadequate CD4+ T cell help T cell zone Medulla Follicular hyperplasia Short-lived plasmablast B cell follicle Decreased class-switch recombination (Nef-mediated) Paucity of HIVspecific IgA at mucosal sites Increased turnover and polyclonal activation of B cells TFH cell MHC class II Naive mature B cell Immune activation (pro-inflammatory cytokines) Subcapsular sinus macrophage CD4+ T cell CTLA4 Infected memory T cell HIV virions and HIV-bearing cells CD8 T cell Inhibition of viral replication Decreased response to antigens Amplification in draining lymph nodes + IL-12, IL-15, IL-18 pDC CD4+ HIV-bearing stromal DC TRIM5 CYPA Chronic infection Local amplification of initial founder virus(es) in a single focus of CD4+ T cells Internalized virion DC dysfunction SAMHD1 Type I IFNs IL-7 T cell-attracting chemokines DC-SIGN CD4 IL-10 CD4+ T cell lymphopenia Transcytosis of HIV virions Infected CD4+ T cell Subepithelial DC Stroma CYPA and TRIM5 recognize HIV capsid The B cell response to HIV Tear in the mucosal epithelium Monocyte SAMHD1 and APOBEC3G restrict HIV replication Columnar epithelium CD1a The DC response to HIV HIV uptake by langerin leads to virus degradation Document #29290 | Version 1.1.0 HIV-infected donor cell Lack of tight junctions between cells Mucus layer adaptive immune system — CD4+ T helper cells. This Poster summarizes how HIV establishes infection at mucosal surfaces, the ensuing immune response to the virus involving DCs, B cells and T cells, and how HIV subverts this response to establish a chronic infection. Based on a clearer understanding of HIV infection and the response to it, the field has now entered an era of renewed optimism for the development of a successful vaccine.
