In HIV-infected children with normal CD4 counts viral loads decline over 5yrs to a ‘setpoint’ of

Normal CD4 counts in the setting of persistently high viral loads

Sooty Mangabeys African Greens Adult viraemic non-progressors Silvestri et al, Immunity 2003 Bosinger et al, JCI 2009 Rotger et al, JCI 2011 Normal CD4 counts in the setting of persistently high viral loads  Attenuated immune activation  Avoid bystander damage  Preserve T cell populations  Protects from AIDS  Asymptomatic  Preserve T cell populations

Potential mechanism: Low immune activation despite persistent high viral loads

Representative CD4 data Potential mechanism: Low immune activation despite persistent high viral loads Lack of progression to AIDS = Attenuated immune activation

Normal range for uninfected age-matched children n=19n=28n=44n=25 p=0.002p=0.004 n=19n=28n=44n=25 Immune activation: strongly correlated with CD4 count in ART-naïve paediatric infection

No relationship between immune activation and viral load in paediatric infection r=0.11 p=ns

Response to SEB; Muenchhoff et al unpublished Defect in IL-2 production by CD4 cells in progressors versus non progressors

Response to SEB; Muenchhoff et al unpublished r=0.58 p< IL-2 response in CD4 cells in ART-naïve children is strongly correlated to CD4 count

Consistent with sooty mangabey and adult viraemic non progressors Paiardini et al, Nature Medicine 2012 Klatt et al, Plos Path 2014 Low CCR5 expression on central memory CD4 cells correlates with high CD4 count in paediatric HIV

Distinct strategies to non-pathogenicity in paediatric infection -‘Non-progressor’ – high CD4/high viral load: sooty mangabey-type -‘Viral controller’ – high CD4/low viral load: Elite controller-type Conclusion
