The impact of HIV-associated immunopathogenesis on B cells hasbeen largely associated with indirect consequences of viralreplication. This study demonstrates that HIV interacts directlywith B cells in both lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood.B cells isolated from lymph node and peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMCs) of 4 and 23 chronically infected patients, respectively,demonstrated similar capacities to pass virus to activated HIV-negativePBMCs when compared with CD4⁺ cells from the same patients.However, in contrast to T cells, virus associated with B cellswas surface bound, as shown by its sensitivity to pronase andthe staining pattern revealed by in situ amplification of HIV-1RNA. Cell sorting and ligand displacing approaches establishedthat CD21 was the HIV-binding receptor on B cells, and thatthis association was mediated through complement-opsonized virus.These B cells were also found to express significantly lowerlevels of CD21 compared with HIV-negative individuals, suggestinga direct perturbing effect of HIV on B cells. These findingssuggest that B cells, although they themselves are not readilyinfected by HIV, are similar to follicular dendritic cells intheir capacity to serve as extracellular reservoirs for HIV-1.Furthermore, B cells possess the added capability of circulatingin peripheral blood and migrating through tissues where theycan potentially interact with and pass virus to T cells.

Key Words: HIV-1, B cell, viral reservoir, complement, CD21
