    Abstract The complement system plays a critical role in innate immune defense against pathogens, both via non-specific direct pathogen recognition and killing or via antigen-specific indirect recruitment by complement fixing antibodies. While various assays for measuring complement activation have been developed, few provide a high-throughput, sample-sparing approach to interrogate the qualitative differences in the ability of antibodies to drive complement activation. Here we present a high-throughput, sample-sparing, bead-based assay to evaluate antigen-specific antibody-dependent complement activation against nearly any antigen. Optimization of buffer composition, kinetics of immune complex formation, as well as complement source all contribute critically to the development of a robust, highly flexible and high-throughput approach to analyze antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD). Thus, the optimized bead-based, antigen-specific assay represents a simple, highly adaptable platform to profile antibody-dependent complement activation across pathogens and diseases.

    Abstract Der erste große Ausbruch von COVID-19 in Deutschland bot eine unglaubliche Chance. Denn was in Heinsberg passierte, würde bald überall passieren. Für Hendrik Streeck stand deshalb fest, dass man nicht tatenlos zuschauen konnte, wie sich das Infektionsgeschehen entwickelte. Vielmehr stellte er sich die Frage: Was können wir dazu beitragen, das Virus zu bekämpfen, seine Ausbreitung einzudämmen? Antworten darauf fand er bei seiner Studie in Gangelt im Kreis Heinsberg, denn dort gab es zu dieser Zeit eine solche Dichte an Infizierten wie nirgendwo sonst in Deutschland, und da das öffentliche Leben dort weitestgehend zum Erliegen gekommen war, ließ sich das Infektionsgeschehen gut nachvollziehen. Dadurch bot sich die einmalige Gelegenheit, kurz- und langfristig Wissen auf vielen Ebenen zu generieren, um damit das neuartige Virus und das Pandemiegeschehen besser einschätzen zu können: Wie breitete sich das Virus aus, welches Ausmaß hatte das Infektionsgeschehen überhaupt? Wie verhielt es sich mit der Immunität? Und was machte dieses Virus mit dem Menschen, was waren die Symptome, und wie reagierte das Immunsystem? »Hotspot« bietet einen spannenden Einblick in die aktuelle Forschung und liefert zugleich neueste Erkenntnisse zu Sars-CoV-2 und dem Pandemiegeschehen.

    Abstract Despite the discovery of HIV over three decades ago, the 2008 ‘Berlin patient’ is the only case of sustained HIV remission. Other cases of apparent ‘cure’ eventually relapsed [1] and although early antiretroviral therapy (ART) has recently gained traction as a factor contributing to remission [2,3], most cases are likely to relapse [4]. In contrast, relapse in ‘elite controllers’ of HIV infection is less common. These are ART-naïve individuals who spontaneously suppress viremia to undetectable levels. Approximately 40% of elite controllers express HLA-B*57 [5], an example being the original 1999 ‘Berlin patient’, in whom virologic control has been maintained for >15 years to date [6].

    Abstract Initial events after exposure determine HIV-1 disease progression, underscoring a critical need to understand host mechanisms that interfere with initial viral replication. Although associated with chronic HIV-1 control, it is not known whether interleukin-21 (IL-21) contributes to early HIV-1 immunity. Here we take advantage of tractable primary human lymphoid organ aggregate cultures to show that IL-21 directly suppresses HIV-1 replication, and identify microRNA-29 (miR-29) as an antiviral factor induced by IL-21 in CD4 T cells. IL-21 promotes transcription of all miR-29 species through STAT3, whose binding to putative regulatory regions within the MIR29 gene is enriched by IL-21 signalling. Notably, exogenous IL-21 limits early HIV-1 infection in humanized mice, and lower viremia in vivo is associated with higher miR-29 expression. Together, these findings reveal a novel antiviral IL-21-miR-29 axis that promotes CD4 T-cell-intrinsic resistance to HIV-1 infection, and suggest a role for IL-21 in initial HIV-1 control in vivo.

    Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells limit viral replication by direct recognition of infected cells, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and releasing cytokines. Although growing evidence supports NK cell antiviral immunity in HIV-1 infection, further knowledge of their response is necessary. Here we show that NK cells responding to models of direct cell recognition, ADCC, and cytokine activation have unique transcriptional fingerprints. Compared with healthy volunteers, individuals with chronic HIV-1 infection have higher expression of genes commonly associated with activation, and lower expression of genes associated with direct cell recognition and cytokine stimulation in their NK cells. By contrast, NK cell transcriptional profiles of individuals receiving a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vectored HIV-1 vaccine show upregulation of genes associated with direct cell recognition. These findings demonstrate that targeted transcriptional profiling provides a sensitive assessment of NK cell activity, which helps understand how NK cells respond to viral infections and vaccination.

    Abstract Vigorous proliferative CD4+ T cell responses are the hallmark of spontaneous clearance of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, whereas comparable responses are absent in chronically evolving infection. Here, we comprehensively characterized the breadth, specificity, and quality of the HCV-specific CD4+ T cell response in 31 patients with acute HCV infection and varying clinical outcomes. We analyzed in vitro T cell expansion in the presence of interleukin-2, and ex vivo staining with HCV peptide-loaded MHC class II tetramers. Surprisingly, broadly directed HCV-specific CD4+ T cell responses were universally detectable at early stages of infection, regardless of the clinical outcome. However, persistent viremia was associated with early proliferative defects of the HCV-specific CD4+ T cells, followed by rapid deletion of the HCV-specific response. Only early initiation of antiviral therapy was able to preserve CD4+ T cell responses in acute, chronically evolving infection. Our results challenge the paradigm that HCV persistence is the result of a failure to prime HCV-specific CD4+ T cells. Instead, broadly directed HCV-specific CD4+ T cell responses are usually generated, but rapid exhaustion and deletion of these cells occurs in the majority of patients. The data further suggest a short window of opportunity to prevent the loss of CD4+ T cell responses through antiviral therapy.
