Abstract
Purpose of review: To review the role of innate immune cells in shaping the viral reservoir and maintenance of long-term viral control of spontaneous Elite and Viremic HIV controllers.
Recent findings: HIV controllers exhibit a smaller and transcriptionally suppressed viral reservoir. Different studies report that early responses from innate cells play a pivotal role in this reservoir configuration. NK cells, particularly those with cytotoxic activity and polyfunctional monocytes, have been linked to viral control, and DCs may contribute through early viral sensing and activation of adaptive responses. In some cases, cytotoxic NK cells appeared before HIV-specific CD8 + T cells, underscoring their importance in early viral suppression. Innate immune cells, including NK cells, monocytes, DCs, and γδ T-cells, are crucial in shaping the viral reservoir in HIV controllers. Early, robust innate responses may help to maintain long-term viral suppression and offer insights into potential therapeutic approaches.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antiretroviral therapies, behavioral aspects of management, and metabolic complications and comorbidity. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
