Changes in Function of HIV-Specific T-Cell Responses with Increasing Time from Infection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recently HIV-infected individuals have virus-specific responses characterized by IFN-gamma/IL-2 secretion and proliferation rarely seen in chronic infection. To investigate the timing of loss of HIV-specific T-cell function, we screened cells from 59 treatment-naïve HIV-infected individuals with known dates of infection for proteome-wide responses secreting IFN-gamma/IL-2 and IFN-gamma alone by ELISPOT. HIV peptide-specific proliferation was assessed by carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) dilution. The contribution of IFN-gamma/IL-2 and IFN-gamma-only secretion to the total HIV-specific response was compared in subjects infected <6, 6-12, and 12-36 mo earlier. The frequency of IFN-gamma/IL-2-secreting cells fell, while that of IFN-gamma-only secretion rose with time from infection. HIV peptide-specific proliferative responses were almost exclusively mediated by CD8(+) T cells, and were significantly lower in cells obtained from the 12-36 mo versus < 6 mo post-infection groups. By the second year of infection there was a significant difference in these functions compared to those assessed within 6 mo.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
