Abstract

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 viral inhibition assay (VIA) measures CD8+ T cell-mediated inhibition of HIV replication in CD4+ T cells and is increasingly used for clinical testing of HIV vaccines and immunotherapies. Different VIAs that differ in length of CD8:CD4 T cell culture periods (6–13 days), purity of CD4 cultures [isolated CD4+ T cells or CD8+ depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)], HIV strains (laboratory strains, isolates, reporter viruses) and read-outs of virus inhibition (p24 ELISA, intracellular measurement of p24, luciferase reporter expression, and viral gag RNA) have been reported.

Here, we describe multiple modifications to a 7-day VIA protocol, the most impactful being the introduction of independent replicate cultures for both HIV infected-CD4 (HIV-CD4) and HIV-CD4:CD8 T cell cultures. Virus inhibition was quantified using a ratio of weighted averages of p24+ cells in replicate cultures and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals. We identify methodological and analysis changes that could be incorporated into other protocols to improve assay reproducibility. We found that in people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART), CD8 T cell virus inhibition was largely stable over time, supporting the use of this assay and/or analysis methods to examine therapeutic interventions.

Background

A CD8+ T cell virus inhibition assay (VIA) measures the in vitro ability of CD8+ T cells to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 replication in autologous CD4+ T cells. This assay captures the full range of CD8+ T cell anti-viral activity in response to in vitro antigen presentation of virus-derived peptides by infected CD4 T cells. VIAs are increasingly used in clinical studies but mostly as an exploratory assay, because the complex co-culture of the VIA has substantial assay variability and a limited dynamic range. Different VIAs have been reported (Yang, O. O. et al., 1997; Sáez-Cirión et al., 2009, 2010; Spentzou et al., 2010; Julg et al., 2010; Freel et al., 2011; Yang, H. et al., 2012, 2013; Naarding et al., 2014; Slichter et al., 2014; Hancock et al., 2015) that differ in length of CD8:CD4 T cell culture periods (6–13 days), purity of CD4 cultures (isolated CD4+ T cells or CD8+ depleted PBMCs), HIV strains (laboratory strains, isolates, reporter viruses), and read-outs of virus inhibition (p24 ELISA, intracellular measurement of p24, luciferase reporter expression, and viral gag RNA). Here, we describe multiple modifications to a 7-day VIA protocol, the most impactful being the introduction of independent replicate cultures for both HIV infected-CD4 (HIV-CD4) and HIV-CD4:CD8 T cell cultures. Virus inhibition was quantified using a ratio of weighted averages of p24+ cells in replicate cultures and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). We found that in people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART), CD8+ T cell virus inhibition was largely stable over time, supporting the use of this assay and/or analysis methods to examine therapeutic interventions.
