OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that treatment of HIV-1-seropositive study subjects receiving potent antiviral therapy with an HIV-specific immune-based therapy would increase HIV-1-specific T-helper immune function. DESIGN 10 HIV-1-seropositive study subjects receiving antiretroviral therapy were treated with an inactivated, gp120-depleted immunogen in IFA (HIV-1 immunogen, Remune) at baseline, week 12, and week 24. METHODS The frequency of HIV-1 antigen-stimulated interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-producing cells was determined by the ELISPOT assay. RESULTS Study subjects significantly increased their frequency of HIV-1-stimulated (p <. 001) or p24 antigen-stimulated (p <.01) IFN-gamma-producing cells after one, two, and three treatments of HIV-1 immunogen. Depletion of CD4 cells resulted in the strongest abrogation of the IFN-gamma response. The frequency of HIV-1 (r = 0.64; p =.0002) and p24 (r = 0. 72; p <.001) antigen-stimulated IFN-gamma-producing cells in the CD8-depleted population before and after treatment was associated with the lymphocyte-proliferative response. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with HIV-1 immunogen significantly enhanced the frequency of HIV-1-specific IFN-gamma-producing cells. Studies are ongoing to determine the relationship between this reversal of HIV-specific anergy and virologic outcomes.
