Targeting HIV Reservoir in Infected CD4 T Cells by Dual-Affinity Re-targeting Molecules (DARTs) that Bind HIV Envelope and Recruit Cytotoxic T Cells

English version České info

Current HIV therapies prevent AIDS by dramatically reducing, but not eliminating, HIV infection. A reservoir of HIV-infected cells persists during long-term antiviral therapy, and individuals are at increased risk to develop non-AIDS illnesses, e.g., accelerated heart, bone, or kidney disease. Novel strategies are thus needed to safely kill HIV-infected cells and reduce or eliminate the HIV reservoir. An emerging strategy to kill HIV-infected cells involves antibodies (Abs) that bind the HIV envelope protein (Env). Env can distinguish HIV-infected cells from uninfected cells, and some Env-specific Abs can kill HIV-infected cells by recruiting immune cells, e.g., NK cells and macrophages. Here, we developed a strategy to kill HIV-infected cells that is complementary to Env-specific Abs. We designed and evaluated Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART) molecules that incorporate Env-binding specificities with a CD3-binding specificity to recruit and activate cytotoxic T cells. We report that HIVxCD3 DARTs potently and selectively kill HIV-infected cells. Furthermore, HIV DARTs perturb resting and activated viral reservoirs in cells isolated from individuals on antiviral therapy. This novel strategy may be an important element of future antiviral therapies that target the HIV reservoir.
