Longitudinal measures of HIV persistence and immunologic phenotype/function during anti-PD-1 therapy are shown. Low-level residual plasma HIV RNA as measured by single copy assay (SCA) and CD4+ T-cell-associated HIV-1 RNA and DNA are shown in (A). Percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells remained stable during therapy (B), and no consistent pattern was observed for markers of T-cell activation (dual expression of CD38 and HLA-DR; C). PD-1 expression decreased after a single dose of anti-PD1 therapy and was sustained for participants 1 and 2 throughout treatment (D). Frequencies of interferon (IFN)γ expressing CD4+ T cells (total or memory) following HIV-1 Gag peptide stimulations were low overall, with no detectable responses observed in CD8+ T cells (E).
