Naïve cells were primed in NP, Th1- or Th2-polarizing conditions and were subject to an extensively phenotypic analysis. Data are representative of analysis performed with 5 different donors. (A) Activation of naïve T cells led to expression of the activation markers, CD69, CD25 and HLA-DR: CD69 (early activation marker) and CD25 (medium-time activation marker) were analyzed 3 days after activation. HLA-DR (late activation marker) was analyzed 7 days after activation. (B) HIV-1 receptor, CD4, and co-receptors, CXCR4 and CCR5, were analyzed at the time of infection (7 days after activation) and compared with naïve cells. (C) CD45RA and CD45RO were analyzed at the time of infection and compared with naïve cells. The subset analyzed by each marker is indicated between parentheses. (D) Cells were analyzed for the expression of CCR7 and CD27, surface markers expressed in naïve and central memory T cells at day 0, 7, 14 and 21-post activation. (E) The phenotype of Th1 and Th2 cells was confirmed via intracellular staining for IFN-γ and IL-4, respectively 7 days after activation. On day 7, cells were restimulated with PMA plus Ionomycin for 1 h plus an additional 3h in the presence of brefeldin A for intracellular cytokine detection. Also, cells were analyzed for the expression of CrTH2, surface marker expressed in Th2.

Cells were primed in NP conditions and 7 days after activation cells were non infected (Mock), infected with DHIV (DHIV Infected) or infected with a DHIV in which nef has been replaced by GFP (DHIV-GFP Infected). 3 days after infection cells were assessed for intracellular p24Gag and GFP expression by flow cytometry. 7 days after infection cells were cultured without stimulation (untreated) or co-stimulated with antibodies to CD3 and CD28 for 3 days (CD3/CD28) and assessed for intracellular p24Gag and GFP expression by flow cytometry. The percentage of cells is indicated in each panel for this representative experiment.
