We have analyzed factors that might influence thein vitroquantitation of the T-proliferative response to HIV-1 Gag antigens, a common and increasingly used clinical measurement of helper T cell function in the context of HIV-1 infection. We have compared the rate and extent of T cell proliferation in freshly prepared and previously frozen PBMC samples, and have concluded that frozen cells can be used successfully; we have assessed whether the suppression of any HIV-1 replication in the PBMC cultures affects the extent of T cell proliferation; we have studied which forms of the Gag antigens are the most efficient at inducing T cell proliferation. From the latter experiments, we conclude that Gag proteins that include p17, and perhaps also p7, sequences flanking the central p24 capsid protein, are better stimulants than proteins that comprise only p24 sequences.
