Description The susceptibility of HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cell lines to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis was examined. Non-adherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy adults lysed HUT cells chronically infected with the IIIB or WMJ1 strains of HIV-1 to a significantly greater extent than uninfected HUT cells. In contrast, Sup-T1 cells chronically infected with these two strains of HIV-1 were not lysed to a greater extent than uninfected Sup-T1 cells. Clone A1.25-infected Sup-T1 (A1.25/Sup-T1), derived from IIIB-infected Sup-T1 cells (IIIB/Sup-T1), were susceptible to non-adherent PBMC-mediated lysis, as were A1.25-infected HUT cells (A1.25/HUT). When non-adherent PBMC were depleted of CD16 (Leu-11b)+ NK cells by treatment with anti-Leu-11b plus C, lysis of HIV-1-infected HUT or Sup-T1 cells was reduced to low levels, indicating that the lysis was mediated by NK cells. Expression of HIV antigens on these target cells did not correlate with their susceptibility to NK cell-mediated lysis. Depletion of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) producing HLA-DR+ cells from non-adherent PBMC had no effect on the magnitude of NK cell-mediated lysis of IIIB or WMJ1-infected HUT cells. In contrast, lysis of A1.25/Sup-T1 or A1.25/HUT cells required the presence of HLA-DR+ cells. IFN-alpha production appeared to be required for NK cell-mediated lysis of A1.25/Sup-T1 or A1.25/HUT cells, while lysis of HUT cells infected with the WMJ1 or IIIB strains of HIV-1 was IFN-alpha independent. These results indicate considerable variability in the susceptibility of different HIV-1 infected T cell lines to NK cell-mediated lysis and suggest the existence of alternative mechanisms of activation of NK cells for lysis of HIV-1-infected T cell lines
