The composition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) clonal populations at different stages of infection and in different compartments was analyzed. Biological HIV-1 clones were obtained by primary isolation from patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells under limiting dilution conditions, with either blood donor peripheral blood lymphocytes or monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) as target cells, and the biological phenotype of the clones was analyzed. In asymptomatic individuals, low frequencies of HIV-1 clones were observed. These clones were non-syncytium inducing and preferentially monocytotropic. In individuals progressing to disease, a 100-fold increase in frequencies of productively HIV-1-infected cells was observed as a result of a selective expansion of nonmonocytotropic clones. In a person progressing to AIDS within 19 months after infection, only syncytium-inducing clones were detected, shifting from MDM-tropic to non-MDM-tropic over time. From his virus donor, a patient with wasting syndrome, only syncytium-inducing clones, mostly non-MDM-tropic, were recovered. Parallel clonal analysis of HIV-1 populations in cells present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and peripheral blood from an AIDS patient revealed a qualitatively and quantitatively more monocytotropic virus population in the lung compartment than in peripheral blood at the same time point. These findings indicate that monocytotropic HIV-1 clones, probably generated in the tissues, are responsible for the persistence of HIV-1 infection and that progression of HIV-1 infection is associated with a selective increase of T-cell-tropic, nonmonocytotropic HIV-1 variants in peripheral blood.
