Objective: To explore immune mechanisms and identify biomarkers associated with an inadequate immune recovery in patients with HIV with efficient antiretroviral therapy.Design: A cross-sectional study of 67 HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy for >= 24 months with HIV RNA 600 cells per microliter). CD4 counts were also registered 2 years after inclusion.Methods: Cytokines, soluble markers of microbial translocation, and tryptophan catabolites were measured in plasma by multiplex assay, ELISA, or mass spectrometry. T-cell activation, differentiation, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) were analyzed by flow cytometry in 2 subgroups with comparable nadir CD4 counts.Results: Plasma interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) levels were higher (P < 0.05), the T cells were more activated (CD38(+)HLA-DR+) (P < 0.05), the naive/effector memory T-cell ratio was lower (P < 0.01) and the proportion of resting Tregs (CD4(+)CD45RA(+)FoxP3(+)) was reduced (P < 0.001) in INR patients compared with immunological responders.
