We have genetically engineered CD4+ and
CD8+ T cells with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
specificity by inserting a gene, CD4 , containing the extracellular
domain of human CD4 (which binds HIV env) linked to the zeta
( ) chain of the T-cell receptor (which mediates T-cell activation).
Twenty-four HIV-positive subjects received a single infusion of 2 to
3 × 1010 autologous CD4 -modified CD4+
and CD8+ T cells administered with (n = 11) or
without (n = 13) interleukin-2 (IL-2). Subjects had CD4 counts
greater than 50/µL and viral loads of at least 1000 copies/mL at
entry. T cells were costimulated ex vivo through CD3 and CD28 and
expanded for approximately 2 weeks. CD4 was detected in 1% to 3%
of blood mononuclear cells at 8 weeks and 0.1% at 1 year after
infusion, and survival was not enhanced by IL-2. Trafficking of
gene-modified T cells to bulk rectal tissue and/or isolated lamina
propria lymphocytes was documented in a subset of 5 of 5 patients at 14 days and 2 of 3 at 1 year. A greater than 0.5 log mean decrease in
rectal tissue-associated HIV RNA was observed for at least 14 days,
suggesting compartmental antiviral activity of CD4 T cells.
CD4+ counts increased by 73/µL at 8 weeks in the group
receiving IL-2. There was no significant mean change in plasma HIV RNA
or blood proviral DNA in either treatment arm. This sustained,
high-level persistence of gene-modified T cells demonstrates the
feasibility of ex vivo T-cell gene therapy in HIV-infected adults and
suggests the importance of providing HIV-specific T-helper function.
