Adoptive transfer of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) naıve autologous CD4+ cells to macaques chronically infected with SIV is sufficient to induce long-term nonprogressor status
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Adoptive transfer of autologous preinfection-collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or activated CD4(+) T cells was performed in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac239)-infected monkeys following short-term antiviral therapy with PMPA (9-R-[2-phosphonylmethoxypropyl] adenine). Short-term chemotherapy alone led to a transient decrease in plasma and cellular proviral DNA loads and transient rescue of gag/pol and env cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursors (pCTLs). However, cessation of therapy allowed for SIV infection to resume its clinical course. PMPA chemotherapy coupled with infusions of either autologous pre-SIV infection-collected PBMCs or activated CD4(+) T cells led to extended control of plasma and cellular proviral DNA loads after infusion, in spite of the fact that the transfused cells were not primed against SIV. However, qualitatively different antiviral defenses were induced by infusion of unfractionated and unmanipulated PBMCs versus purified and activated CD4(+) T cells: PBMC infusions significantly favored development of SIVenv-specific pCTLs, neutralizing antibodies, and secretion of soluble noncytotoxic suppressor factors of SIV replication. In contrast, activated CD4(+) T cells predominantly promoted CTL responses to SIVgag/pol and SIVenv. In addition, infusion of influenza-primed activated CD4(+) T cells markedly enhanced influenza-specific pCTL responses, whereas infusion of similarly influenza-primed unfractionated PBMCs enhanced such pCTL responses only modestly, suggesting that the predominant immune defect after SIV infection lies in the T helper cell compartment rather than the effector cell compartment. Thus, adoptive immunotherapy with autologous "SIV naïve" CD4(+) lymphocytes was sufficient to rescue cell-mediated immune responses and induce long-term anti-SIV control and immune responses in the absence of continued antiviral chemotherapy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
