Persistently activated virus-specific CD8 T cells indicate antigen-driven immune aberrations in long COVID

Mark M. Painter, David B. Reeg, Naomi R. Douek, Sophie L. Gray-Gaillard, Sasikanth Manne, Josephine Ruth Giles, Thomas Dalhuisen, Melissa Buitrago, Emily A. Fehrman, Dylan Ryder, Meghann C. Williams, Ava-Kathleen Rybicki, Gwen Baraniecki‐Zwil, Zina Ahn, John P. Reilly, , E. John Wherry

The paper identifies persistently activated virus-specific CD8 T cells in long COVID patients, suggesting chronic antigen stimulation by SARS-CoV-2 or herpesvirus.

Immune activation during broadly neutralizing antibody-mediated HIV suppression prior to post-intervention control

Julia A. Wagner, Demi A. Sandel, Ravi K. Patel, George W. Gruenhagen, Rafael Tibúrcio, Shalyeen S. Singh, Kaiti Schwartz, Michela Traglia, Pamela Milani, Clara Di Germanio, Shlomi Ilan, Thomas Dalhuisen, Rebecca Hoh, Meghann C. Williams, Michiko Shimoda, , Rachel Lena Rutishauser

This study shows that bNAb-mediated HIV suppression is linked to increased immune activation compared to ART suppression, with unique transcriptional patterns in controllers.
