Dominant CD4+ T cell receptors remain stable throughout antiretroviral therapymediated immune restoration in people with HIV
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In people with HIV (PWH), the post antiretroviral therapy (ART) window is critical for immune restoration and HIV reservoir stabilization. We employ deep immune profiling, T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing and examine proliferation to assess how ART impacts T cell homeostasis. Hierarchies and frequencies of dominant CD4 TCR clonotypes (0.1-11% of all CD4+ T cells) remain stable post-ART, suggesting that clonal homeostasis can be independent of homeostatic processes regulating CD4+T cell absolute number, phenotypes and function. The slow restoration of host-immunity post-ART also has implications for the design of ART interruption studies.
