Germinal Center TFH: Major Source of Active and Inducible HIV Replication HIV DNA copies/106 cells Highest copy number of HIV DNA PD-1 CXCR5 PD-1 CXCR5 Source of inducible HIV replication Perreau et al, J Exp Med, 2013
Objectives • Evaluate the distribution of CD8 T cells in T and B cell zones of lymph nodes and tonsils • Frequency • Phenotype • Changes with HIV infection? • Determine ability of B cell zone CD8 T cells to mediate bispecific antibody-directed killing of HIV-infected CD4 T cells • In comparison to CD8 T cells in other LN zones

Conclusions • Recruitment of CD8 T cells into the B cell follicles (germinal centers) during HIV infection • Defined by high CXCR5 and low CCR7 by flow cytometry • Confirmed by confocal imaging • Increased cytolytic potential of CD8 T cells in B cell follicles compared to extrafollicular CD8 T cells, especially in HIV-infected LNs • CD107a, granzyme, and perforin • Co-localization of granzyme and CD8 T cells on confocal imaging • CD8 T cells within the B cell follicle are capable of mediating bispecific antibody-mediated killing of HIV-infected cells • Caspase-dependent • Associated with secretion of perforin and granzyme
