Despite sustained plasma concentrations of anti-TIGIT mAb, we observed no consistent improvement in NK or T cell cytolytic capacity. TIGIT blockade minimally enhanced T cell proliferation and virus-specific T cell responses in both magnitude and breadth though plasma viral loads in treated animals remained stable indicating that anti-TIGIT mAb treatment alone was insufficient to increase anti-SIV CD8\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                      T cell function.

Our studies, however, reveal that targeting the TIGIT pathway alone may be insufficient in the setting of viremia and that combining immune checkpoint blockade with other immunotherapeutics may be a future path forward for improved viral control or elimination of HIV.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>Upregulation of the immune checkpoint receptor TIGIT is associated with HIV-mediated T cell dysfunction and correlates with HIV disease progression. Compelling evidence exists for targeting immune checkpoint receptor pathways that would potentially enhance immunity and refocus effector cell efforts toward viral clearance. In this report, we investigate TIGIT blockade as an immunotherapeutic approach to reverse immune exhaustion during chronic SIV\/SHIV infection in a nonhuman primate model of HIV infection. We show that interfering with the TIGIT signaling axis alone is insufficient to improve viral control despite modest improvement in T cell immunity. Our data substantiate the use of targeting multiple immune checkpoint receptors to promote synergy and ultimately eliminate HIV-infected cells.<\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.00273-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,22]],"date-time":"2024-05-22T09:01:39Z","timestamp":1716368499000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Immune restoration by TIGIT blockade is insufficient to control chronic SIV infection"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"98","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6084-4166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriela M.","family":"Webb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon National Primate Research Center, Oregon Health &amp;
