HIV replicates primarily in lymphoid tissue and immune activation is a major stimulus in vivo. To determine the cells responsible for HIV replication during Ag-driven T cell activation, we used a novel in vitro model employing dendritic cell presentation of superantigen to CD4+ T cells. Dendritic cells and CD4+ T cells are the major constituents of the paracortical region of lymphoid organs, the main site of Ag-specific activation and HIV replication. Unexpectedly, replication occurred in nonproliferating bystander CD4+ T cells that lacked activation markers. In contrast, activated Ag-specific cells were relatively protected from infection, which was associated with CCR5 and CXC chemokine receptor 4 down-regulation. The finding that HIV replication is not restricted to highly activated Ag-specific CD4+ T cells has implications for therapy, efforts to eradicate viral reservoirs, immune control of HIV, and Ag-specific immune defects.
