A better understanding of HIV-2 pathogenesis should open new therapeutic avenues to establish control of HIV-1 replication in infected patients. In this study, we Downloaded from studied the production of CD8+ T cells and their capacity for viral control in HIV-2 controllers from the French ANRS CO5 HIV-2 cohort. HIV-2 controllers display a robust capacity to support long-term renewal of the CD8+ T cell compartment by preserving immune resources, including hematopoietic progenitors and thymic activity, which could contribute to the long-term maintenance of the CD8+ T cell response and the avoidance of premature immune aging. Our data support the presence of HIV-2 Gag–specific CD8+ T cells that display an early memory differentiation phenotype and robust effector potential in HIV-2 controllers. Accordingly, to our knowl- edge,weshowforthefirsttimethatHIV-2controllerspossessCD8+ T cells that show an unusually strong capacity to suppress HIV-2 http://www.jimmunol.org/ infection in autologous CD4+ T cells ex vivo, an ability that likely depends on the preservation of host immune resources. This effective and durable antiviral response probably participates in a virtuous circle, during which controlled viral replication permits the pres- ervation of potent immune functions, thus preventing HIV-2 disease progression.
