RESUMO
We demonstrate that dendritic cells loaded in vitro with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protein-liposome complexes activate HLA class I-restricted anti-HIV-1 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte and gamma interferon (IFN-γ) responses in autologous CD8+ T cells from late-stage HIV-1-infected patients on prolonged combination drug therapy. Interleukin-12 enhanced this effect through an interleukin-2- and IFN-γ-mediated pathway. This suggests that dendritic cells from HIV-1-infected persons can be engineered to evoke stronger anti-HIV-1 CD8+ T-cell reactivity as a strategy to augment antiretroviral therapy.
