An established sex bias in HIV pathogenesis is linked to immune responses. Recently we reported a vaccine-induced sex bias: vaccinated female but not male rhesus macaques exhibited delayed SIV acquisition. This outcome was correlated with SIV Env-specific rectal IgA, rectal memory B cells, and total rectal plasma cells (PC). To uncover additional contributing factors, using samples from the same study we investigated memory B cell population dynamics in blood, bone marrow (BM) and rectal tissue during immunization and post-challenge; IgG subtypes and antibody avidity; and Breg cell frequency and function. Few sex differences were seen in Env-specific memory B cell, plasmablast or PC frequencies in the three compartments. Males had higher IgG antibody titers and avidity indices than females. However, females had elevated levels of Env-specific IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 antibodies compared to males. gp140-specific IgG3 antibodies of females but not males were correlated with ADCC activity against gp120 targets (p = 0.026) and with antibody-dependent phagocytic activity (p = 0.010). IgG3 antibody of females but not males also correlated with decreased peak viremia (p = 0.028). Peripheral blood CD19+CD25+ Breg cells suppressed T cell proliferation compared to CD19+CD25− cells (p=0.031), and exhibited increased IL-10 mRNA expression (p=0.031). Male macaques post-vaccination (p=0.018) and post-infection (p=0.0048) exhibited higher Breg frequencies than females. Moreover, male Breg frequencies correlated with peak viremia (p=0.0071). Our data suggest that vaccinated females developed better antibody quality, contributing to better functionality. The elevated Breg frequencies in males may have facilitated SIV acquisition.
