Effect of HIV on antigen presentation by dendritic cells and macrophages #MMPMID1896636

The antigen-presenting function of dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (MO) following infection with HIV in vitro was examined. Using non-infected cells, DC, but not MO, stimulated primary proliferative responses in allogeneic lymphocytes in the mixed leukocyte reaction. Both DC and MO stimulated secondary responses to influenza virus and to tetanus toxoid in autologous T lymphocytes. After exposure of DC and MO to HIV1 in vitro for 2 days, 27% of DC but less than 1% MO became infected as assessed by in situ hybridization. DC were blocked in their capacity to stimulate responses to alloantigens or to the recall antigens. By contrast, MO retained the ability to stimulate responses to the recall antigens. Similar effects during in vivo infection would allow activated T-cell clones to respond to antigens presented by MO early in infection. However, any loss of activated T cells might prove cumulative and damaging in the absence of an effective DC recruitment mechanism for resting T cells.
