2 Contribution of naïve CD4+ T cells to the intact HIV reservoir
Emmanuele Venanzi Rullo, MD @lelevenanzi Share your thoughts on this presentation with #IAS2019

3 Maybe just one image to say quickly after ART dna undetect
Maybe just one image to say quickly after ART dna undetect. But reservoir not cleared

4 Near full-length single genome proviral sequencing
5 DNA fragmentation/ligation of adapters at limiting dilution, library preparation 6 Sequence on Illumina MiniSeq 7 De novo Assembly 8 Determine Intact Sequences by presence of: psi packaging element complete ORFs critical splice sites 4 Screen for Positives and purify DNA Ho Cell 2013 Bruner Nat Med 2016 Imamichi PNAS 2016 Heiner Cell Reports 2017 Lee JCI 2017

6 Apheresis sample available Longitudinal study
Subject Years off ART Nadir CD4 Viral peak Coreceptor Timepoints sampled 1 21 yrs 295 12,000 100% R5 2 and 9 yrs post ART 2 6 yrs 0 CD4+ 750,000 X4R5 Chronic patients Two ends of a spectrum (fast vs slow progressor, X4 vs R5, 0 vs 300 CD4+) Successfully treated Apheresis sample available Longitudinal study

7 Sorting strategy Tscm Tn Subset Purity % Tn 95.7 Tscm 66.9 Tcm 89.3
TEMRA (Tian Nat Com 2017) Tscm Tn Can contain Treg (Van den Broek Nat 2018) TD (Chomont Nat Com 2009) Subset Purity % Tn 95.7 Tscm 66.9 Tcm 89.3 Ttm 87 Tem 91.5 CD45dim 94

8 Naive Memory HIV copies/ million CD4+ cells Subj. 1 Subj. 2

9 Tn Tem 2y post art Subj. 1 9 yrs 2 yrs Subj. 2 9 yrs 0-10% clones
30% intact 7% intact 2% intact Tn 21% intact 0-10% clones 3% intact 1% intact 11% intact 18% intact 50-60% clones Tem

10 Number of intact proviruses/ million CD4+ cells
58.7% 38.5% 34.7% 58.3% 2 yrs 9 yrs 2 yrs 9 yrs

11 Tracking the clones

12 Take-home message TN have low integration level but higher % of intact proviruses vs memory T cells TN can be one of the major contributors to the reservoir They represent a new hurdle to the eradication because: Long lived More Transcriptionally silent (so less immune pressure) Can be activated and replenish the “memory reservoir” These cells should no longer be ignored.
