The vast majority of currently licensed human vaccines work on the basis of long-term protective antibody responses. It is now conceivable that an antibody-dependent HIV vaccine might be possible, given the discovery of HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) in some HIV-infected individuals. However, these antibodies are difficult to develop and have characteristics indicative of a high degree of affinity maturation in germinal centers (GCs). CD4⁺ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are specialized for B cell help and necessary for GCs. Therefore, the development of HIV bnAbs might depend on Tfh cells. Here, we identified in normal individuals a subpopulation of circulating memory PD-1⁺CXCR5⁺CD4⁺ T cells that are resting memory cells most related to bona fide GC Tfh cells by gene expression profile, cytokine profile, and functional properties. Importantly, the frequency of these cells correlated with the development of bnAbs against HIV in a large cohort of HIV⁺ individuals.
Upon infection, HIV disseminates throughout the human body within 1-2 weeks. However, its early cellular targets remain poorly characterized. We used a single-cell approach to retrieve the phenotype and TCR sequence of infected cells in blood and lymphoid tissue from individuals at the earliest stages of HIV infection. HIV initially targeted a few proliferating memory CD4+ T cells displaying high surface expression of CCR5. The phenotype of productively infected cells differed by Fiebig stage and between blood and lymph nodes. The TCR repertoire of productively infected cells was heavily biased, with preferential infection of previously expanded and disseminated clones, but composed almost exclusively of unique clonotypes, indicating that they were the product of independent infection events. Latent genetically intact proviruses were already archived early in infection. Hence, productive infection is initially established in a pool of phenotypically and clonotypically distinct T cells, and latently infected cells are generated simultaneously.
