Figure Legend Snippet: Suppressed innate immune TNF-α response in COVID-19. Representative ELISpot photomicrographs displaying baseline innate immune (monocyte) function with LPS-stimulated TNF-α production in PBMCs. Comparison between different donor types, including ( A ) healthy control volunteers and ( B ) CINS, ( C ) septic, and ( D ) COVID-19 patients. Number of spots demonstrates the number of cytokine-producing monocytes, and counts are presented as corrected number of spots per thousand monocytes plated as fraction of the 2.5 × 10 3 PBMCs plated in each well. COVID-19 patients had suppressed TNF-α production when compared with controls. Each photomicrograph was captured with the same magnification, and each image is to scale. ELISpot assays were performed using the PBMC fraction from freshly drawn whole blood. Each condition was run in duplicate for control samples and triplicate for COVID-19 samples.

Figure Legend Snippet: IL-27 regulates B7-H4 expression on HIV expanded MDSC. (a) To determine if IL-27 regulates B7-H4 expression, PBMCs from HIV(−) donors were cultured with or without rIL-27 (5 ng/ml) for 72 hrs. Cells cultured in the presence of non-infectious HIV BaL (p24, 12 ng/10 7 cells) or rIL-10 (5 ng/ml) served as additional controls. Whole cell lysates of PBMCs were prepared and immunoblotted with Abs to GAPDH as loading control and B7-H4. (ai) Immunoblot shown is representative of 4 donors; cells cultured with rIL10 and rIL-27 were run in duplicates. (aii) The histogram bar graph shows mean+/−SD of the densitometric analysis for B7-H4 (n = 4). (b–d) Effect of IL-6, IL-10 and IL-27 on MDSC and B7-H4 + HIV MDSC was determined. PBMCs of healthy donors were cultured with or without non-infectious HIV BaL (p24, 12 ng/10 7 cells) in the presence or absence of neutralizing anti-IL6, -IL-10 or –IL-27 or respective isotype antibodies for 5 days. Cells were stained with anti-CD11b, -CD33, -CD14, -HLA DR and –B7-H4 Abs and analyzed using flow cytometry. (b) %B7-H4 + MDSC (bi) and MFI of B7-H4 on MDSC (bii) is shown in presence of anti-IL-6 or-IL-10 antibodies. (c) %B7-H4 + MDSC (ci) and MFI of B7-H4 on MDSC (cii) is shown in presence of anti-IL-27 antibody. (d) %MDSC is shown in presence of anti-IL-6 and –IL-10 (di) and anti-IL-27 (dii) antibodies. Histograms are presented as mean+/−SD; n = 4 donors. (e) Regulation of immunity in HIV/CMV co-infection: HIV/CMV co-infected individuals on ART with suppressed HIV replication and recovered CD4 + T cell numbers have increased IL-27 and reduced MDSC, IL-27 induces (1) B7-H4 on MDSC which binds to CMV-CD4 + T cells and (2) mediates CD4 + IL-10 + T cells, these collectively regulates T cell activation such that IFNγ is produced that is sufficient to control CMV replication without inducing inflammation (right side of straight line) . HIV/CMV co-infected ART naïve individuals with replicating virus have increased IL-6 that induces MDSC expansion and MDSC contributes to immune suppression (left side of straight line) observed during chronic disease stage. *p
