Abstrakt: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cure efforts are increasingly focused on harnessing CD8+T cell functions, which requires a deeper understanding of CD8+T cells promoting HIV control. Here we identifiy an antigen-responsive TOXhiTCF1+CD39+CD8+T cell population with high expression of inhibitory receptors and low expression of canonical cytolytic molecules. Transcriptional analysis of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-specific CD8+T cells and proteomic analysis of purified CD8+T cell subsets identified TOXhiTCF1+CD39+CD8+T cells as intermediate effectors that retained stem-like features with a lineage relationship with terminal effector T cells. TOXhiTCF1+CD39+CD8+T cells were found at higher frequency than TCF1−CD39+CD8+T cells in follicular microenvironments and were preferentially located in proximity of SIV-RNA+cells. Their frequency was associated with reduced plasma viremia and lower SIV reservoir size. Highly similar TOXhiTCF1+CD39+CD8+T cells were detected in lymph nodes from antiretroviral therapy-naive and antiretroviral therapy-suppressed people living with HIV, suggesting this population of CD8+T cells contributes to limiting SIV and HIV persistence.
