Title |

Summary |
CD4+ T follicular helper (TFH) cells are key targets for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication and contribute to the virus reservoir under antiretroviral therapy (ART). Here, we describe a novel CD3+ CD20+ double-positive (DP) lymphocyte subset, resident in secondary lymphoid organs of humans and rhesus macaques (RMs), that appear predominantly after membrane exchange between TFH and B cells. DP lymphocytes are enriched in cells displaying a TFH phenotype (CD4+ PD1hi CXCR5hi), function (interleukin 21 positive [IL-21+]), and gene expression profile. Importantly, expression of CD40L upon brief in vitro mitogen stimulation identifies, by specific gene- expression signatures, DP cells of TFH-cell origin versus those of B-cell origin. Analysis of 56 RMs showed that DP cells (i) significantly increase following SIV infection, (ii) are reduced after 12 months of ART in comparison to pre-ART levels, and (iii) expand to a significantly higher frequency following ART interruption. Quantification of total SIV-gag DNA on sorted DP cells from chronically infected RMs showed that these cells are susceptible to SIV infection. These data reinforce earlier observations that CD20+ T cells are infected and expanded by HIV infection, while suggesting that these cells phenotypically overlap activated CD4+ TFH cells that acquire CD20 expression via trogocytosis and can be targeted as part of therapeutic strategies aimed at HIV remission.
