B cell immunopathology during HIV-1 infection: Lessons to learn for HIV-1 vaccine design

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Novel data indicate that B cell activation may be at the basis of impaired immune responses and the molecular events leading to B cell damage must be further characterized with the aim of selecting vaccine components allowing preservation of B cell functions.

B cells in HIV infection and disease

TL;DR: This Review focuses on advances in understanding of the mechanisms of B-cell dysfunction in HIV-associated disease and discusses similarities with other diseases that are associated with B- cell dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

B cells in early and chronic HIV infection: evidence for preservation of immune function associated with early initiation of antiretroviral therapy

TL;DR: Investigation of B cells before and after reduction of HIV plasma viremia by antiretroviral therapy provides new insights on B cells in HIV infection and how early initiation of ART may prevent irreversible immune system damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Timing of HAART defines the integrity of memory B cells and the longevity of humoral responses in HIV-1 vertically-infected children

TL;DR: Timing of HAART initiation is the major factor predicting the longevity of B cell responses in vaccinated HIV-1-infected children, and both late-treated HIV- 1 controllers and noncontrollers loose protective antibody titers against common vaccination antigens.

Marginal Zone B-Cells, a Gatekeeper of Innate Immunity

TL;DR: The multiple roles of MZ B-cells in humans, non-human primates, and rodents are discussed and it is revealed that viruses and bacteria have developed strategies to deplete innate-like B- cells during the acute phase of infection and to impair the antibody response.

B-cell memory: are subsets necessary?

TL;DR: It is proposed that germinal centres produce memory B cells and plasma cells throughout the immune response and thatMemory B cells arise by the emigration of B cells that are chosen at random from the pool available in the germinals centre.
Journal ArticleDOI

CpG DNA activation and plasma-cell differentiation of CD27- naive human B cells.

TL;DR: The results indicate that under certain conditions, naive B cells increase TLR-9 expression and proliferate to CpG DNA stimulation without BCR signaling, which should be a valuable method to interrogate the antigenic specificity of naïve B cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR9 stimulation drives naïve B cells to proliferate and to attain enhanced antigen presenting function.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the activation and expansion of naïve B cells induced by TLR9 agonists could enhance the potential of these cells to interact with cognate antigens and facilitate cell‐mediated immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary HIV-1 infection sets the stage for important B lymphocyte dysfunctions.

TL;DR: B cell dysfunctions found in chronic HIV-1 infection appear during PHI and initiation of antiretroviral therapy early during infection may help to preserve the B cell compartment.

Antibody to Capsular Polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae after Vaccination of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Subjects with 23-Valent Pneumococcal Vaccine

TL;DR: A postvaccination antibody was evaluated to five commonly infecting serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae and showed no differences between responses in those with less than 200 and those with 200-500 CD4 cells.
