Parenteral administration of a mouse anti-human CD8 monoclonal
antibody (MAb) to rhesus macaques resulted in a transient depletion of
CD8+ cells in both the peripheral blood and lymphoid
tissues. When administered during primary chimeric simian/human
immunodeficiency virus infections, the CD8 MAb caused marked elevations
of plasma and cell-associated virus levels in both the peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues and led to prolonged depletion of CD4 cells. Taken
together, these results directly demonstrate that CD8+ T
lymphocytes are actively involved in controlling the acute phase of
primate lentivirus infections.
CD8 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)
responses are critical for the resolution of many viral infections
(6, 21, 24, 29, 33). In human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infections, a CTL response that occurs prior to seroconversion
has been temporally linked with falling virus loads (3, 19,
27). A similar correlation has been reported for CTL suppression
of acute simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infections (13,
34). Although it has been inferred that the CTL response mediates
the resolution of the primary HIV-1 infection, direct proof that
CD8+ T lymphocytes are responsible for the decline of
viremia during acute lentivirus infections and/or the control of virus
spread during chronic infection has not yet been obtained. Nonetheless, the presence of high levels of HIV-1-specific CD8+ CTL
precursor cells in HIV-1-infected long-term nonprogressors and the loss
of the lymphocyte subset in infected individuals with evidence of
immunodeficiency suggest that these cells contribute to the control of
virus replication in vivo (7, 15, 18, 26).
The development of knockout mice, in which genes specifying
immunologically relevant proteins have been disrupted (35), has been useful in delineating the genes' functions in suppressing viral infections (12, 16, 25, 34). Because this approach is
not currently applicable to subhuman primate models of lentivirus infections, we turned instead to the parenteral administration of a CD8
monoclonal antibody (MAb) to specifically deplete this lymphocyte
subset prior to or during acute infections of rhesus macaques
(Macaca mulatta) with an SIV/HIV (SHIV) chimeric virus. The
results presented in this report demonstrate that CD8 cells were
transiently lost in both the peripheral blood and lymphoid tissue in
animals receiving the CD8 MAb. When administered around the time of
primary infection, the CD8 MAb caused greatly increased virus loads in
the circulating blood and in lymph nodes and was associated with
prolongation of the CD4 cell depletion attending acute infection.
Unexpectedly, the administration of the anti-CD8 MAb selectively
induced the depletion of the CD28 Animals.
Rhesus macaques and cynomolgus monkeys
(Macaca fascicularis) tested negative for simian
immunodeficiency and simian type D retroviruses before inoculation. The
macaques used in this study were maintained in accordance with the
Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (22) and
were housed in a biosafety level 2 facility; biosafety level 3 practices were followed. Physical examinations were performed under
ketamine anesthesia by veterinarians at times of virus inoculation,
phlebotomy, or lymph node biopsy.
Antibodies.
Antibody T87PT3F9, an immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a)
mouse anti-human CD8 MAb, was supplied by Gary Toedter (Coulter) and
used to deplete macaque CD8 cells in vivo. This antibody was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis against
phosphate-buffered saline as previously described (1). On
the basis of preliminary dose-response experiments, two intravenous
injections (2 mg/kg of body weight), 7 days apart, were routinely
administered. For lymphocyte immunophenotyping, cells were triply or
doubly stained with CD2-fluorescein isothiocyanate
(FITC)-CD4-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-CD8-peridinin
chlorophyll protein (PerCP), CD45RA-CD4-PE-CD8-PerCP, HLADR-FITC-CD4-PE-CD8-PerCP, and CD8-FITC-CD28-PE (Becton Dickinson) and analyzed by flow cytometry with FACSort (Becton Dickinson).
Viruses.
SHIVMD14YE is a molecularly cloned
SIV/HIV-1 chimeric virus consisting of gag, pol,
vif, vpx, nef, and vpr
(approximately 20%) sequences from SIVmac239 linked to an
HIV-1DH12 segment containing vpr (approximately
80%), tat, rev, vpu, and
env genes (31). The animal challenge stock of
SHIVMD14YE was prepared in cultured rhesus macaque
peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and contained approximately
105 50% tissue culture infective doses
(TCID50)/ml (measured in human MT-4 cells) and 82 ng of p27
Gag antigen per ml.
Measurement of virus loads.
Plasma antigenemia was measured
by the SIV core antigen assay (Coulter), capable of detecting 50 pg of
p27 Gag protein per ml. The number of proviral DNA copies in PBMC and
lymph node cell lysates was measured by DNA PCR as previously described
(31); the lower limit of detection in this assay is 0.3 copies/105 CD4+ cells.
The SHIV used in these experiments, designated
SHIVMD14YE, contains most of vpr and the
complete tat, rev, vpu, and
env genes from the dual-tropic HIV-1 isolate
HIV-1DH12 (30) and the gag, pol, vif, vpx, and nef
genes plus the 5' 48 nucleotides of vpr and LTR sequences
from SIVmac239 (17); codons 17 and 18 of the SIVmac239 nef gene present in
SHIVMD14YE were changed from RQ to YE by site-specific
mutagenesis (8). SHIVMD14YE induces an
immunodeficiency in pig-tailed macaques characterized by a loss of CD4
cells, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, lymphoid tissue depletion, thymic atrophy, and disseminated fibromatosis 10 to 60 weeks
following inoculation (31). However, in
SHIVMD14YE-inoculated rhesus macaques, virus loads are
usually 100-fold lower than those in pig-tailed macaques (Fig.
1A), p27 antigenemia cannot be detected (Fig. 1B), and immunodeficiency has not yet been observed.

FIG. 1.
Comparison of virus loads in pig-tailed and rhesus
macaques infected with SHIVMD14YE. Animals were inoculated
intravenously with 1.2 × 104 to 3.0 × 105 TCID50 of SHIVMD14YE. Proviral
DNA copy numbers in PBMC (A) and the concentration of p27 Gag antigen
in plasma (B) are shown.
CD8 MAb administration to naive macaques. The anti-human CD8 mouse MAb (T87PT3F9 [Coulter]) administered to animals was shown to bind to a subset of PBMC from rhesus macaques in vitro, as determined by flow cytometry, following incubation with an FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (anti-mouse IgG rabbit serum). A second anti-human CD8 mouse MAb (PerCP-conjugated Leu-2A; Becton Dickinson) was used for lymphocyte immunophenotyping. Flow cytometry revealed that the staining of monkey PBMC with PerCP-Leu-2A was unaffected by prior incubation with the T87PT3F9 anti-human CD8 MAb (data not shown). Preliminary dose-response experiments indicated that animals inoculated intravenously with the T87PT3F9 anti-CD8 MAb experienced a consistent and transient reduction of circulating CD8 T lymphocytes lasting approximately 2 weeks (Fig. 2A). On the basis of these results, a regimen of two intravenous T87PT3F9 injections (2 mg/kg) given 7 days apart was used in the experiments to be described.

) changed only
modestly. More importantly, the total number of CD2+ cells
(the sum of CD2+ CD8+, CD2+
CD4+ CD8
, and CD2+
CD4
CD8
) also declined, paralleling the
fall in CD8+ cells. This latter result is consistent with
the earlier observation that preincubation with the T87PT3F9 anti-CD8
MAb does not block reactivity with PerCP-conjugated Leu-2A; if the
observed fall in CD8+ T cells merely represented the
masking of PerCP-conjugated Leu-2A staining, the decline in the number
of CD2+ CD8+ cells would have been accompanied
by an increase of CD2+ CD4
CD8
cells, thereby maintaining a constant number of CD2+ cells.
As expected, no CD8 cell loss was observed in the control animal (W59),
which received IgG. The levels of circulating HLADR (positive and
negative) and CD45RA (positive and negative) CD8 subsets did not change
in either of the macaques receiving the CD8 MAb (data not shown).
Lymph node biopsies were obtained from all three animals prior to and
10 days following CD8 MAb treatment (Fig. 2C). Substantial CD8 cell
loss occurred in the lymph node specimens from both macaques receiving
the anti-CD8 MAb, with little change in the numbers of their CD4 cells;
the CD4 and CD8 profiles in the macaque given IgG were essentially
unaltered. Taken together, these results indicate that administration
of the CD8 MAb induces transient CD8 cell depletion in both circulating
blood and peripheral lymphoid tissue.
CD8 MAb administration during acute virus infection.
The
effect of CD8 MAb administration on primary lentivirus infections was
evaluated in an experiment in which six rhesus macaques were inoculated
with 3 × 104 TCID50 of
SHIVMD14YE. Three of the animals were treated with the
T87PT3F9 CD8 MAb, two received control IgG, and one was untreated. Two
different schedules of antibody administration were used as follows:
(i) single injections 7 and 14 days after SHIV inoculation (Fig.
3A) or (ii) single injections 3 days
prior to and 4 days following virus challenge (referred to hereafter as
the
3/+4-day injection regimen) (Fig. 3B). Among the macaques on the
+7/+14-day injection regimen, animal 865C (control IgG) exhibited an
increase in the number of CD8 cells in response to the primary
lentivirus infection comparable to that observed in macaque AM45, which
received no antibody (Fig. 3A). This elevation of circulating CD8 cells was not observed in animal AN47 (Fig. 3A), presumably reflecting the
opposing effects of CD8 cell depletion, induced by the administration of the anti-CD8 MAb on days 7 and 14 postinfection, and CD8
T-lymphocyte expansion in response to the primary virus infection. A
more significant loss of CD8 cells was observed in the two macaques
receiving the anti-CD8 MAb on the
3/+4-day injection schedule
(animals 565Z and 84296 [Fig. 3B]). This fall in the number of CD8
cells was followed by robust elevations during the third week of
SHIVMD14 infection. The control (IgG) animal for the second
injection schedule (B9727) exhibited the expected CD8 cell response.
|
3/+4-day schedule suffered significant CD4 cell
depletion (Fig. 4C). In particular, the CD4 cell number in animal 565Z,
which exhibited the highest plasma p27 and PBMC-associated viral DNA
loads, fell to 88 cells/µl of blood at 5 weeks postinfection. Macaque
565Z continued to exhibit low numbers of CD4+ T lymphocytes
in the peripheral blood (approximately 34% of the prechallenge cell
count) 6 to 12 months following virus inoculation.

CD8 MAb causes loss of circulating CD8+
CD28
cells.
Although we had not intended to deplete
a specific subset of CD8 cells, fluorescence-activated cell sorter
analysis revealed the selective loss of CD8+
CD28
cells from the peripheral blood of two naive and two
acutely infected animals following anti-CD8 MAb treatment (Fig.
5). In contrast to inbred mice, in which
<5% of circulating CD8 T lymphocytes are CD28
, 30 to
40% of CD8 cells in human PBMC are CD28
(2, 4, 10,
14). In the macaques we have studied, the CD8+
CD28
subset comprises 30 to 80% of CD8 cells in the
peripheral blood (data not shown). It should be noted that the CD8 T
lymphocyte population in human lymphoid tissue is >95%
CD28+ (4, 32), a value we have also observed in
rhesus macaque lymph node specimens (data not shown).

DISCUSSION |

These results represent the first direct demonstration that CD8 T lymphocytes play a critical role in resolving primary lentiviral infections; administration of the anti-CD8 MAb caused transient yet consistent losses of CD8 cells in both the peripheral blood as well as lymphoid tissue, currently thought to be the primary site of virus replication (9, 23). Greatly increased virus loads in both of these compartments were observed in macaques receiving the anti-CD8 MAb during the early phase of acute infection. In one animal (565Z), the CD8 cell deficit delayed resolution of the primary infection, and the resulting high levels of circulating virus were associated with marked CD4 cell loss in both PBMC and lymph nodes.
The effects of MAb-mediated CD8 depletion on virus loads appeared to be considerably greater in animals receiving the CD8 MAb prior to and shortly after SHIV inoculation compared to those in animals receiving antibody beginning 1 week postinfection. This result is consistent with a previous study in which CTL precursors directed against Gag peptides were reported to be present as early as 4 to 6 days following SIV infection of rhesus monkeys (34). Since the CD8 MAb administered to the macaques depletes CD8 cells only transiently, its effect will probably be greatest when it is given prior to the expansion of the virus-specific CTL population (viz. within the first days of the acute infection). Conversely, if it is administered too late, perhaps even 1 week postinfection, the capacity of the MAb to deplete CD8 cells may be severely compromised by the CD8 T-lymphocyte response normally elicited by the virus.
An unexpected result of this study was the selective depletion of
macaque CD8+ CD28
T lymphocytes in animals
receiving the anti-CD8 MAb. In humans, this CD8 cell subset comprises
more than one-third of circulating CD8 T cells and is thought to
represent terminally differentiated, nonproliferating effector cells
that require no costimulation for immediate cytotoxic activity
(2). Compared to CD8+ CD28+
lymphocytes, which produce soluble factors that suppress HIV-1 replication (20), CD8+ CD28
cells
are enriched for perforin and granule-associated TIA-1 molecules
(4) and have potent CTL activity against major
histocompatibility complex-matched lymphocytes expressing HIV-1 Gag and
Pol proteins (11). It is also worth noting that the
CD8+ CD28
lymphocyte subset in peripheral
blood has been reported to expand during the course of HIV-1 infections
(4, 5, 28). Although researchers cannot presently explain
the selective depletion of CD8+ CD28
cells
following MAb treatment, one could speculate that the binding of
antibody to these terminally differentiated, nonproliferating cells
might trigger apoptosis and their disappearance from the PBMC
compartment.
