Abstract

In resting CD4(+) T lymphocytes harboring human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), replication-competent virus persists in patients responding to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This small latent reservoir represents between 10(3) and 10(7) cells per patient. However, the efficiency of HIV-1 DNA-positive resting CD4(+) T cells in converting to HIV-1-antigen-secreting cells (HIV-1-Ag-SCs) after in vitro CD4(+)-T-cell polyclonal stimulation has not been satisfactorily evaluated. By using an HIV-1-antigen enzyme-linked immunospot assay, 8 HIV-1-Ag-SCs per 10(6) CD4(+) resting T cells were quantified in 25 patients with a plasma viral load of <20 copies/ml, whereas 379 were enumerated in 10 viremic patients. In parallel, 369 and 1,238 copies of HIV-1 DNA per 10(6) CD4(+) T cells were enumerated in the two groups of patients, respectively. Only a minority of latently HIV-1 DNA-infected CD4(+) T cells could be stimulated in vitro to become HIV-1-Ag-SCs, particularly in aviremic patients. The difference between the number of HIV-1 immunospots in viremic versus aviremic patients could be explained by HIV-1 unintegrated viral DNA that gave additional HIV-1-Ag-SCs after in vitro CD4(+)-T-cell polyclonal stimulation.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
