Responses were assessed at 14 and 21 d post-immunization, using overlapping peptides spanning the HIVconsv immunogen. ChAdV63.HIVconsv induced robust CD8+ T cell responses on day 14, but with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (Fig. S2). By contrast, CD4+ T cell IFN- responses to HIVconsv (defined by production of IFN- or IL-2) were lower but, by day 21, HIVconsv-specific IFN- production by CD4+ T cells was significantly enhanced in IL-10R-treated mice (Fig. 1B; Fig. S2). At 21 d post-immunization, HIVconsv-specific CD8+ T cell responses (defined by production of IFN-) were dominated by a previously-described epitope, H (Fig. 1C). 16 Responses to H, and to 2 previously-defined subdominant epitopes, P and G1, were not enhanced by IL-10R blockade (Fig. 1C). However, the total magnitude CD8+ T response to HIVconsv was significantly increased in mice that had received IL-10R (Fig. 1D), as was the frequency of HIVconsv-specific CD8+ T cells co-expressing IFN- and the degranulation marker CD107a (Fig. 1E, F). In all mice, CD8+ T cell IFN- responses to HIVconsv exceeded the mean background plus 2 standard deviations (Fig. 1D). These observations suggested that IL-10R blockade increased responses to previously-undefined epitopes in HIVconsv. Open in a separate window Physique 1.
