This project is a comprehensive look into the CD4 T cell response to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), an emergent / re-emergent human pathogen.


This project is a comprehensive look into the CD4 T cell response to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), an emergent / re-emergent human pathogen. In most people infection in childhood resolves uneventfully to a chronic life-long infection held in check by cellular immune responses. However, viral reactivation after immunosuppression can cause serious illness, neurological complications, and even death, and is an important complication following organ transplantation.
One aim of the project is to characterize memory T cell responses to this chronic infection, and compare them to responses to acute infection. CD4 and CDS T cell responses to HHV-6 will be characterized in healthy immune donors and also in kidney transplant recipients experiencing viral reactivation. A possible role for IL-10 in regulating these responses will be investigated. These analysis will involve ex vivo analysis of, peripheral blood and primary cell lines, using functional assays and newly-developed class II MHC oligomers, and will be pursued in collaboration with project 2, which is investigating analogous CD4 T cell functional subsets in mice.
A second aim of the project is to understand the role of NK cells in regulating T cell responses to HHV-6. Preliminary data indicate that NK populations present in peripheral blood regulate CD4 T cells responding to HHV-6. Several mechanistic hypotheses will be explored using ex vivo analysis of human peripheral blood and primary cell lines. This work will be pursued in collaboration with project 1, which is investigating similar NK phenomenon in other systems.
A third aim of the project is to investigate and functionally characterize CD4 T cell responses to HHV-6 that are cross-reactive with other viruses. Several recently identified HHV-6 T cell epitopes are similar to those from other common viral infections. Based on principles established in previous work on CDS cross-reactivity patterns, we predict that the HHV-6 specific CD4 T cell response can recognize heterologous infection by other viruses including EBV, CMV, and lAV. This prediction will be tested using ex vivo analysis of human peripheral blood and primary cell lines, and biochemical and structural analysis of MHC and TCR proteins.
This aim will be pursued in collaboration with project 3.

Public Health Relevance

Human herpesvirus 6 infects most people early in life causing a mild childhood illness that remains present as a life-long chronic infection but which can reactivate after immune suppression to cause serious medical consequences. This project will investigate HHV-6 immune responses in healthy people controlling the virus and in immunosuppressed transplantation recipients in whom the virus has reactivated, to better understand immune control of HHV-6 and to help development of clinically useful diagnostic tools

If HHV-6 is the real cause of AIDS, here are some of the implications:

1. HIV is a massive scientific fraud. Something akin to a Ponzi scheme. Scientists who challenged the HIV theory of AIDS (the ones who have been thuggishly censored and silenced) turn out to be on the money.

2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism (and many other so-called HHV-6 related mysterious epidemics) are part of the so-called AIDS epidemic.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism both are clearly the results of the ravages of HHV-6.

3. AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been artificially and politically separated into two epidemics. We are living in a period of CFS/AIDS apartheid. So-called AIDS patients have to sit in the back of the HHV-6 epidemic bus while the befuddled HHV-6/CFS patients and HHV-6/Autism victims sit up front. Nobody is well-served.

4. AIDS is not a sexually transmitted disease. That paradigm has set a scapegoating and antigay agenda in place that the public thinks is solidly based on science. It is only based on homophobic and racist nosology, epidemiology and virology. The scientists behind the paradigm are charlatans and crooks.

5. The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and the Pasteur Institute in Paris have a great deal in common with the institutions of Nazi medicine. For Blacks, everything these institutions have done in the name of AIDS really constitutes a second Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.

Elements of a Scientific Ponzi Scheme like the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme and HHV-6 Cover-up

A scientific Ponzi scheme begins with a central seminal or foundational scientific fraud and is  sometimes built on an infrastructure of smaller scientific frauds. Like the fake dividends issued in a strictly financial Ponzi scheme, a scientific Ponzi scheme issues fake dividends in the form of ongoing fraud-based research often framed as "breakthroughs" and bogus extrapolations which make it look like everything is above board and that what, in reality, is scientific fraud, appears to the rest of the scientific community and the public as good faith progress.

A classic scientific Ponzi scheme like the Montgnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme and HHV-6 Cover-up include elements like these:

1. Nosological fraud.

2. Epidemiological fraud.

3. Virological fraud.

4. Treatment fraud.

5. Public health policy fraud.

6. Concealment of negative scientific data and paradigm-challenging anomalies.

7.  Use of an elite network of "old boys" and pseudo-activist provocateurs to censor critics and whistleblowers.

8. Chronic obscurantism.

9. If necessary, vigilantism and witch-hunts against any intellectuals, scientists, or citizens who constitute any form of resistance to the Ponzi scheme.

10. A subservient scientific press that is used as a conveyor belt for the Ponzi scheme's propaganda.

Everything always looks like it is working perfectly in a Ponzi scheme, until the moment comes when someone look at the books and blows the whistle.  Hopefully, that game-changing moment for the Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme and HHV-6 Cover-up is coming soon.

It's time to recognize that HHV-6A, HHV-6B, HHV-7 and HHV-8 all belong in a viral category of their own. Leaving them in the herpesvirus family trivializes their impact on public health and turns them into some kind of biomedical joke.

Here are the proposed new names for HHV-6A, HHV-6B, HHV-7 and HHV-8:


The AIDS Spectrum Viruses

HHV-6A should be called AIDS Spectrum Virus 1 (ARV-1)

HHV-6B should be called AIDS Spectrum Virus 2 (ARV-2)

HHV-7 should be called AIDS Spectrum Virus 3 (ARV-3)

HHV-8 should be called AIDS Spectrum Virus 4 (ARV-4)

 The name of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome should be changed to AIDS Spectrum Virus Syndrome 
(AIDS Virus Syndrome or ASVS.)
