Preferential engagement of the anti-inflammatory ATP/adenosine axis by HIV vaccine candidate with V1-deleted envelope in male rhesus macaques
Ex vivo, ΔV1 gp120 reduced CCR5 expression on CD4+ T cells relative to WT gp120, consistent with the anti-inflammatory mucosal response by ΔV1-vaccine regimens in vivo, promotes an anti-inflammatory mucosal landscape less permissive to HIV seeding and dissemination following virus exposure.
