Impact of HLA‐DRB1 allele polymorphisms on control of HIV infection in a Peruvian MSM cohort

Abstract: Associations between HLA class II polymorphisms and HIV control were assessed in a Peruvian MSM cohort. Among 233 treatment naïve HIV+ individuals, DRB1*13:02 was linked to elevated viral loads (P = .044) while DRB1*12:01 showed significantly lower viral set points (P = .015) and restricted a dominant T cell response to HIV Gag p24 (P = .038). The present work contributes to a better knowledge of the Peruvian immunogenetics and supports the important role of HLA class II restricted T cells in HIV control.

“…As for T cells, the natural T cell response to the entire HIV-1 proteome in an infected individual does not protect despite the wealth of data pointing to the CD8 + T cells’ ability to impose a selective pressure on HIV-111, 12, 13 as well as control experimental simian/simian-HIV (SIV/SHIV) infections14, 15 and association of some CD4 + T cell responses with HIV-1 disease control 16, 17, 18. It follows that the total T cell response cannot be easily correlated to a good clinical outcome, because not all naturally induced T cells are protective.…”

“…In an overview, the alleles HLA-A*24 ( 9 ), A*36 ( 10 ), B*35 ( 11 ), B*53 ( 12 ), and DRB1*13 ( 13 ) are some associated with the progression of HIV infection. In contrast, the HLA-A*02 ( 14 ), B*27 ( 15 ), B*57 ( 16 ) and DRB1*15 ( 17 ) are examples associated with infection control.…”

“…10 As for T cells, the natural T cell response to the entire HIV-1 proteome in an infected individual does not protect despite the wealth of data pointing to the CD8 + T cells' ability to impose a selective pressure on HIV-1 [11][12][13] as well as control experimental simian/simian-HIV (SIV/SHIV) infections 14,15 and association of some CD4 + T cell responses with HIV-1 disease control. [16][17][18] It follows that the total T cell response cannot be easily correlated to a good clinical outcome, because not all naturally induced T cells are protective. After many years of research, the T cell field is coming to a realization that vaccine-elicited responses will need to be targeted toward particular vulnerable and, therefore, protective determinants on the virus, while avoiding as many as possible of the distractive non-protective "decoys."…”
