Defective Dendritic Cell Function in HIV-Infected Patients Receiving Effective Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy: Neutralization of IL-10 Production and Depletion of CD4+CD25+ T Cells Restore High Levels of HIV-Specific CD4+ T Cell Responses Induced by Dendritic Cells Generated in the Presence of IFN-α

Popis: We previously demonstrated that GM-CSF/IFN-α combination allowed the differentiation of monocytes from HIV-infected patients into dendritic cells (DCs) exhibiting high CD8+ T cell stimulating abilities. The present study was aimed at characterizing the ability of DCs generated in the presence of GM-CSF and IFN-α to induce CD4 T cell responses. DCs were generated from monocytes of HIV-infected patients in the presence of GM-CSF with either IFN-α (IFN-DCs) or IL-4 (IL-4-DCs) for 7 days. Eleven patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy and exhibiting CD4 cell counts above 400/mm3 and plasma HIV-RNA
