Heightened proliferation and death of T lymphocytes may play a key role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pathogenesis; however, the mechanism that mediates this effect and the phenotype of the proliferating T cells have not been clearly determined. We assessed S-phase cell frequencies and phenotype by ex vivo bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and flow-cytometric analysis in a group of 35 HIV-infected individuals. Frequencies of S-phase T cells were increased in HIV disease and were related to plasma HIV RNA levels but not to CD4 cell, total T cell, or total lymphocyte counts. S-phase cells were phenotypically defined as "central memory" cells (CD45RO+CD62L+CCR7+). Although activated (CD38+), S-phase cells lacked CD69 expression, rarely expressed CD25, and were not overrepresented among HIV-specific cells, as might have been expected if these cells had recently been activated by HIV antigens. Thus, in HIV infection, central memory T cells may be highly susceptible to bystander mechanisms of immune activation, leading to S-phase entry.

Peripheral S‐Phase T Cells in HIV Disease Have a Central Memory Phenotype and Rarely Have Evidence of Recent T Cell Receptor Engagement
