  • Occurrence and Level of HIV-specific Total IgG Binding Antibody Response Breadth and Magnitude - Positive Response Rates.

    IgG binding antibody breadth assays were not run. Instead, IgG was assayed against a smaller panel of antigens. Serum IgG responses were measured on a Bio-Plex instrument using a custom Luminex assay, run at 1:50 dilution. The readout is background-subtracted mean fluorescent intensity (MFI), with background adjustment for an antigen-specific plate level control. For each sample, response magnitude is net MFI, defined as experimental antigen minus reference antigen MFI. Net MFI below 1 is set to 1, and Net MFI above 22,000 is set to 22,000. Samples from post-baseline visits have positive responses if they meet three criteria: (1) net MFI \>= antigen-specific threshold (defined as the maximum of 100 and the 95th percentile of baseline net MFI), (2) net MFI \> 3 times baseline net MFI, and (3) experimental antigen MFI \> 3 times baseline MFI. Data are excluded if the blood draw date was outside the allowable window, a participant was HIV-infected, or the reference antigen exceeds 5000 MFI.

  • Occurrence and Level of HIV-specific CD4+ T-cell Responses - Positive Response Rates.

    PBMC samples are stimulated with synthetic peptide pools or left unstimulated as a negative control. For each sample, T-cell subset, and peptide pool, response magnitude is % cells expressing markers after peptide stimulation minus % cells expressing markers after no stimulation. A contingency table is constructed to assess response: stimulation (peptide/none) vs. marker expression (yes/no). A one-sided Fisher's exact test is applied, testing if the number of cells positive for the marker is equal in the stimulated vs. unstimulated cells. A discrete Bonferroni adjustment is made over the peptide pools. Response is positive if p\<=0.00001. Any Env magnitude is the maximum of gp120 and Env ZM96 magnitude; Any Pol is the sum of CN54 magnitude; and Any HIV is the sum of Gag ZM96, Nef CN54, Any Pol, and Any Env. Data are excluded if the blood draw date was outside the visit window, the participant was HIV-infected, PBMC viability or T-cell count were low, or negative control was high.
