ARTICLES

HIV-infected humans, but not chimpanzees, have circulating cytotoxic T lymphocytes that lyse uninfected CD4+ cells

It has been suggested that autoimmune phenomena contribute to the depletion of CD4+ T cells and the development of AIDS in HIV-1 infected humans based, in part, on observations that some HIV-1-infected humans have autoantibodies reactive with Ag expressed on uninfected CD4+ cells. In this study, 11 of 14 asymptomatic HIV-1-infected homosexuals and hemophiliacs, but none of 17 uninfected homosexuals or heterosexuals, were found to have cytotoxic lymphocytes in blood that can lyse uninfected CD4+ T cells from humans and chimpanzees but not human B lymphoblastoid cells or mouse T cells. The cytotoxic PBL were concluded to be CTL rather than NK cells, with the phenotype being CD3+, TCR-1 alpha beta+, CD8+, CD4-, CD16- based on findings that PBL- mediated lysis of uninfected CD4+ cells was 1) blocked by a mAb to CD3, which inhibits CTL but not NK activity; 2) diminished by treatment of PBL with a mAb to CD8 and C, but not by treatment with mAb to CD4 or CD16 and C; and 3) blocked by mAb WT31 directed against the TCR-1 alpha beta. In contrast, PBL from HIV-1-infected chimpanzees, which to date have not developed AIDS, lacked detectable CTL lytic for uninfected CD4+ cells.
