Adoptive therapy with genetically engineered T cells offers potential for infectious disease treatment in immunocompromised persons. HIV/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected cells express phosphatidylserine (PS) early post infection. We tested whether chimeric engulfment receptor (CER) T cells designed to recognize PS-expressing cells could eliminate SIV-infected cells. Lentiviral CER constructs composed of the extracellular domain of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4 (TIM-4), the PS receptor, and engulfment signaling domains were transduced into primary rhesus macaque (RM) T cells. We measured PS binding and T cell engulfment of RM CD4+ T cells infected with SIV expressing GFP and , TIM-4 CER CD4+ T cells effectively killed SIV-infected cells, which was dependent on TIM-4 binding to PS. Enhanced killing of SIV-infected CD4+ T cells by CER and chimeric antigen receptor T cell combinations was also observed. This installation of innate immune functions into T cells presents an opportunity to enhance elimination of SIV-infected cells, and studies to evaluate their effect are warranted.
