Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study endpoints 1. Innate immune training indices: o Direct cytokine responses to a range of stimuli o Cytokine responses after 6-day training with Beta-glucan | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secundary study parameters: 1. Transcriptome signatures of innate immune training (including long non-coding RNA patterns) 2. Epigenetic signatures of innate immune training 3. Differentially expressed genes on a transcriptomic level that are associated with HIV elite controller phenotype or their family members. 4. Specific populations of circulating cells, identified by immune phenotyping, that can differentiate between HIV elite controller phenotype and ART-suppressed people with HIV, or their respective family members. | — |
