E51: Nanodiscs (discoidal lipid bilayer particles of 10-17 nm surrounded by membrane scaffold protein) were used to incorporate Env complexes for the purpose of vaccine platform generation. The Env-NDs (Env-NDs) were characterized for antigenicity and stability by non-NAbs and NAbs. Most NAb epitopes in gp41 MPER and in the gp120:gp41 interface were well exposed while non-NAb cell surface epitopes were generally masked. Anti-gp120 non-NAb E51, binds at a fraction of the binding of 2G12 to Env-ND, and this binding is sensitive to glutaraldehyde treatment . Witt2017 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity)
E51: Three strategies were applied to perturb the structure of Env in order to make the protein more susceptible to neutralization: exposure to cold, Env-activating ligands, and a chaotropic agent. A panel of mAbs (E51, 48d, 17b, 3BNC176, 19b, 447-52D, 39F, b12, b6, PG16, PGT145, PGT126, 35O22, F240, 10E8, 7b2, 2G12) was used to test the neutralization resistance of a panel of subtype B and C pseudoviruses with and without these agents. Both cold and CD4 mimicking agents (CD4Ms) increased the sensitivity of some viruses. The chaotropic agent urea had little effect by itself, but could enhance the effects of cold or CD4Ms. Thus Env destabilizing agents can make Env more susceptible to neutralization and may hold promise as priming vaccine antigens. Johnson2017 (vaccine antigen design)
E51: LANL database note: This monoclonal antibody is a CHAVI reagent (http://chavi.org/); Species: human; Category: CD4i MAbs; Contact person: James Robinson
E51: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
E51: Infectious molecular clones of transmitted founder (TF) and chronic control (CC) viruses of subtypes B and C were generated to explain the critical steps in HIV-1 transmission . These viruses were characterized and compared on their phenotypic properties specifically designed to probe the earliest stages of viral infection. CD4 induced E51 mAb was used to generate chimeric Ab CD4-218.3-E51 to capture the Env of TFs in a newly developed ELISA reported in this study. Parrish2013 (assay or method development, chimeric antibody)
E51: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. E51 is discussed as CD4i-targeting, anti-gp120 Cluster B mAb which mediates ADCC. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
E51: This paper reported the nature of junk Env glycan that undermine the development of Ab responses against gp120/gp41 trimers and evaluated enzyme digestion as a way to remove aberrant Env to produce "trimer VLPs". E51 was used in the anti-gp120 cocktail in BN-PAGE and western blot experiments to prove that enzymes removed junk Env from VLPs and inactivated virus.. Crooks2011 (glycosylation)
E51: ADCC mediated by CD4i mAbs (or anti-CD4i-epitope mAbs) was studied using a panel of 41 novel mAbs. Three epitope clusters were classified, depending on cross-blocking in ELISA by different mAbs: Cluster A - in the gp120 face, cross-blocking by mAbs A32 and/or C11; Cluster B - in the region proximal to CoRBS (co-receptor binding site) involving V1V2 domain, cross-blocking by E51-M9; Cluster C - CoRBS, cross-blocking by 17b and/or 19e. The ADCC half-maximal effective concentrations of the Cluster A and B mAbs were generally 0.5^-1 log lower than those of the Cluster C mAbs, and none of the Cluster A or B mAbs could neutralize HIV-1. Cluster A's A32- and C11-blockable mAbs were suggested to recognize conformational epitopes within the inner domain of gp120 that involve the C1 region. E51 was used as the positive control for CD4i mAb in different assays. Neutralization potency and breadth were also assessed for these mAbs. No correlation was found between ADCC and neutralization Abs' action or functional responses. Guan2013 (ADCC, antibody interactions)
E51: This study uncovered a potentially significant contribution of V_H replacement products which are highly enriched in IgH genes for the generation of anti-HIV Abs including anti-gp41, anti-V3 loop, anti-gp120, CD4i and PGT Abs. The V_H replacement "footprints" within CD4i Abs preferentially encode negatively charged amino acids within IgH CDR3. The details of E51 V_H replacement products in IgH gene and mutations and amino acid sequence analysis are described in Table 1,Table 2 and Fig 3. Liao2013a (antibody sequence)
E51: Different adjuvants, including Freund's adjuvant (FCA/FIA), MF59, Carbopol-971P and 974P were compared on their ability to elicit antibody responses in rabbits. Combination of Carbopol-971P and MF59 induced potent adjuvant activity with significantly higher titer nAbs than FCA/FIA. There was no difference in binding of this MAb to gp140 SF162 with MF59 adjuvant, but there was 3-fold decrease of antigenicity with FIA, C971, C974, C971+MF59 C971+MF59 as compared to the unadjuvanted sample. Lai2012 (adjuvant comparison)
E51: The goal of this study was to improve the humoral response to HIV-1 by targeting trimeric Env gp140 to B cells. The gp140 was fused to a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), B cell activation factor (BAFF) and CD40 ligand (CD40L). These fusion proteins increased the expression of activation-induced-cytidine deaminase (AID) responsible for somatic hypermutation, Ab affinity maturation, and Ab class switching. The Env-APRIL induced high anti-Env responses against tier1 viruses. E51 was used in BN-PAGE trimer shift assay. Melchers2012 (neutralization)
E51: Polyclonal B cell responses to conserved neutralization epitopes are reported. Cross-reactive plasma samples were identified and evaluated from 308 subjects tested. E51 was used as a control mAb in the comprehensive set of assays performed. Tomaras2011 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
E51: A panel of glycan deletion mutants was created by point mutation into HIV gp160, showing that glycans are important targets on HIV-1 glycoproteins for broad neutralizing responses in vivo. Enrichment of high mannose N-linked glycan(HM-glycan) of HIV-1 glycoprotein enhanced neutralizing activity of sera from 8/9 patients. E51 was used as a control to compare the neutralizing activity of patients' sera. Lavine2012 (neutralization)
E51: Antigenic properties of undigested VLPs and endo H-digested WT trimer VLPs were compared. Binding to E168K+ N189A WT VLPs was stronger than binding to the parent WT VLPs, uncleaved VLPs in presence of sCD4. There was no significant correlation between E168K+N189A WT VLP binding and E51 neutralization, while trimer VLP ELISA binding and neutralization exhibited a significant correlation. BN-PAGE shifts using digested E168K + N189A WT trimer VLPs exhibited prominence compared to WT VLPs. Tong2012 (neutralization, binding affinity)
E51: Broadly neutralizing antibodies circulating in plasma were studied by affinity chromatography and isoelectric focusing. The Abs fell in 2 groups. One group consisted of antibodies with restricted neutralization breadth that had neutral isoelectric points. These Abs bound to envelope monomers and trimers versus core antigens from which variable loops and other domains have been deleted. Another minor group consisted of broadly neutralizing antibodies consistently distinguished by more basic isoelectric points and specificity for epitopes shared by monomeric gp120, gp120 core, or CD4-induced structures. The pI values estimated for neutralizing plasma IgGs were compared to those of human anti-gp120 MAbs, including 5 bnMAbs (PG9, PG16, VRC01, b12, and 2G12), 2 narrowly neutralizing MAbs (17b and E51), and 3 nonneutralizing MAbs (A32, C11, and 19e). MAbs 17b and E51, with restricted neutralizing activity, had pIs from 7 to 7.85. Plasma-derived, anti-gp120 IgG fractions in this range also had narrow neutralization breadth. Sajadi2012 (polyclonal antibodies)
E51: To test whether HIV-1 particle maturation alters the conformation of the Env proteins, a sensitive and quantitative imaging-based Ab-binding assay was used to probe the conformations of full-length and cytoplasmic tail (CT) truncated Env proteins on mature and immature HIV-1 particles. In the absence of sCD4, MAb E51 binding to gp120 was approximately 20% greater on immature vs. mature HIV-1 particles. 17b, A1g8, and E51 binding to immature virions was stimulated by sCD4 to a greater or equal extent vs. mature particles, with MAb 17b exhibiting the greatest increase. This suggested that CD4 binding triggers exposure of some epitopes to an equal extent on immature and mature virions and other epitopes to a greater extent on immature virions. Joyner2011 (binding affinity)
E51: CDR H3 domains derived from 4 anti-HIV mAbs, PG16, PG9, b12, E51, and anti-influenza MAb AVF were genetically linked to glycosil-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) attachment signal of decay-accelerating factor (DAF) to determine whether the exceptionally long and unique structure of the CDR H3 subdomain of PG16 is sufficient for epitope recognition and neutralization. GPI-CDR H3(E51) conferred over 99% inhibition of 11 HIV-1 pseudotypes, over 90% inhibition of the other 12 HIV-1 pseudotypes, and 83% inhibition of JRFL. Compared to mock-transduced parental TZM-bl cells, cells transduced with GPI-CDR H3(E51) did not show any significant neutralization activity against SIVMne027 control but neutralized all 3 HIV-1 strains. Liu2011 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
E51: Impact of in vivo Env-CD4 interactions was studied during vaccinations of Rhesus macaques with two Env trimer variants rendered CD4 binding defective (368D/R and 423/425/431 trimers) and wild-type (WT) trimers. Ab binding profiles of the three trimer variants were assessed by binding analyses to different MAbs. E51 bound similarly to WT and 368D/R trimers but its binding affinity was completely abrogated for 423/425/431 trimers. Douagi2010 (binding affinity)
E51: Neutralizing activities of E51 were similar against parent and GnTI (complex glycans of the neutralizing face are replaced by fully trimmed oligomannose stumps) viruses, and the N301Q mutant virus (glycan at position 301 is removed), with all viruses being resistant to neutralization by this Ab. However, some susceptibility of N201Q mutant virus was observed at high E51 concentrations. E51 did not bind to native Env trimers. Binley2010 (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
E51: gp41 L669S mutant virus was moderately sensitive to neutralization by E51 while the L669 wild type virus was resistant. This indicates that conformational changes in the MPER could alter the exposure of neutralization epitopes in other regions of HIV-1 Env. Shen2010 (neutralization)
E51: Fusion of CD4 with E51 scFv resulted in CD4-scFvE51 reagent with a twofold enhanced neutralization potency compared to its CD4 and scFvE51 components. The neutralization potency was improved by inclusion of an IgG Fc region and by linkage of CD4 to the heavy chain of E51. The resulting CD4hc-IgGE51 neutralized a range of clade A, B and C viruses with potency comparable to other broadly neutralizing Abs. The complex had high expression levels. West2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
E51: NAb specificities of a panel of HIV sera were systematically analyzed by selective adsorption with native gp120 and specific mutant variants. To test for presence of coreceptor binding region MAbs in sera, gp120 I420 mutant was used. This mutant was not recognized by E51. In some of the broadly neutralizing sera, the gp120-directed neutralization was mapped to CD4bs. Some sera were positive for NAbs against coreceptor binding region. A subset of sera also contained NAbs directed against MPER. Li2009c (assay or method development)
E51: Resurfaced stabilized core 3 (RSC3) protein was designed to preserve the antigenic structure of the gp120 CD4bs neutralizing surface but eliminate other antigenic regions of HIV-1. RSC3 did not show binding to E51. Wu2010 (binding affinity)
E51: Sera from rabbits immunized with subtype A SOSIP gp140 trimers was used in virus competition assay. E51 was able to capture the virus effectively. Kang2009
E51: The Ig usage for variable heavy chain of this Ab was as follows: IGHV:1-69*01, IGHD:2-2, D-RF:3, IGHJ:6. Non-V3 mAbs preferentially used the VH1-69 gene segment. In contrast to V3 mAbs, these non-V3 mAbs used several VH4 gene segments and the D3-9 gene segment. Similarly to the V3 mAbs, the non-V3 mAbs used the VH3 gene family in a reduced manner. Anti-CD4i mAbs exclusively used the VH1 gene family. Gorny2009 (antibody sequence)
E51: Two chimeras were constructed from a new HIV-2KR.X7 proviral scaffold where the V3 region was substituted with the V3 from HIV-1 YU2 and Ccon, generating subtype B and C HIV-2 V3 chimera. Both chimera, and the wildtype HIV-2KR and its derivatives HIV-2KR.X4 and HIV-2KR.X7 were resistant to neutralization by E51. Davis2009 (neutralization)
E51: E51e structure, sulfation, binding, and neutralization activity are reviewed in detail. Lin2007 (review)
E51: 24 broadly neutralizing plasmas from HIV-1 subtype B and C infected individuals were investigated using a series of mapping methods to identify viral epitopes targeted by NAbs. Activity directed to the CD4i epitope of gp120 was assessed by the abilities of the plasmas to inhibit virus capture by the MAb E51 in the presence of sCD4. CD4i titers for the inhibition were high for all the plasmas, and did not differ between the subtypes, suggesting that the contribution of the CD4i-Abs for the plasma neutralization activity was minimal. Binley2008 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
E51: Interactions of this MAb with gp120 monomer and two cleavage-defective gp140 trimers were studied. It was shown that E51 interactions with the soluble monomers and trimers were dramatically decreased by GA cross-linking of the proteins, indicating that the E51 epitope was affected by cross-linking. Yuan2006 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions, binding affinity)
E51: This review summarizes data on the role of NAb in HIV-1 infection and the mechanisms of Ab protection, data on challenges and strategies to design better immunogens that may induce protective Ab responses, and data on structure and importance of MAb epitopes targeted for immune intervention. The importance of standardized assays and standardized virus panels in neutralization and vaccine studies is also discussed. Srivastava2005 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, review)
E51: This Ab bound with an intermediate affinity to gp120IIIb, it did not prevent uptake of gp120 by APCs, and had no inhibitory effect on gp120 antigen presentation by MHC class II. E51 disassociated from gp120 at acidic pH. Lysosomal enzyme digestion of gp120 in complex with E51 yielded fragmentation similar to that of gp120 alone, and digestion rate was intermediate, between the rapid digestion of gp120 alone and the slow digestion of gp120 in complex with high-affinity Ab5145A. It is thus concluded that CD4i Ab E51 does not have an inhibitory effect on gp120 processing and presentation. Tuen2005 (antibody interactions, binding affinity)
E51: This review focuses on the importance of neutralizing Abs in protecting against HIV-1 infection, including mechanisms of Ab interference with the viral lifecycle, Ab responses elicited during natural HIV infection, and use of monoclonal and polyclonal Abs in passive immunization. In addition, vaccine design strategies for eliciting of protective broadly neutralizing Abs are discussed. MAbs included in this review are: 2F5, Clone 3 (CL3), 4E10, Z13, IgG1b12, 2G12, m14, 447-52D, 17b, X5, m16, 47e, 412d, E51, CM51, F105, F425, 19b, 2182, DO142-10, 697-D, 448D, 15e and Cβ1. McCann2005 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, neutralization, review)
E51: E51 was obtained from an HIV-1 infected individual with a potent ELISA response to the gp120. It was shown that this MAb could be sulfate-modified. The results indicated that the sulfates present on E51 are localized on tyrosines within its heavy chain CDR3 region and that they contribute to E51s ability to associate with gp120 of the ADA isolate. Binding efficiency of E51 to ADA gp120 was increased by 25% in the presence of CD4, showing that E51 is a CD4i Ab. Association of E51 with ADA gp120-CD4-Ig complex was inhibited by a sulfated peptide with a sequence corresponding to the CCR5 amino terminus, indicating that E51 binds a CD4-enhanced epitope overlapping the binding domain of CCR5 amino terminus. Neutralization assays showed that E51 neutralizes primary R5 and R5X4 isolates more efficiently, and X4 isolates less efficiently, than CD4i Abs 17b and 48d. scFv E51 was shown to efficiently bind to gp120 of three R5 isolates and to the HXBc2 X4 isolate. Choe2003 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, neutralization)
E51: The CDR3 regions of CD4i Abs (E51, 412d, 17b, C12 and 47e) were cloned onto human IgG1 and tested for their ability to inhibit CCR5 binding. Only E51 successfully immunoprecipitated gp120. The sulfated peptide from E51 (pE51) efficiently bound gp120, was enhanced by CD4, and could neutralize HIV-1 more effectively than peptides based on CCR5. pE51 was able to block infection by a range of subtype B isolates. Dorfman2006 (co-receptor)
E51: Four consensus B Env constructs: full length gp160, uncleaved gp160, truncated gp145, and N-linked glycosylation-site deleted (gp160-201N/S) were compared. All were packaged into virions, and all but the fusion defective uncleaved version mediated infection using the CCR5 co-receptor. CD4 inducible MAbs 17b and E51 were tested for the ability to neutralize the various forms of Con B; as anticipated gp160 and gp145 were not neutralized by these two MAbs, but the gp160-201N/S mutant was neutralized with IC50 values of 10 ug/ml, suggesting increased formation and/or exposure of the co-receptor binding site. The poorly infectious clone WITO4160.27 was also somewhat susceptible to neutralization by these clones. Kothe2007 (vaccine antigen design, variant cross-reactivity)
E51: Of 35 Env-specific MAbs tested, only 2F5, 4E10, IgG1b12, and two CD4BS adjacent MAbs (A32 and 1.4G) and gp41 MAbs (2.2B and KU32) had binding patterns suggesting polyspecific autoreactivity, and similar reactivities may be difficult to induce with vaccines because of elimination of such autoreactivity. E51 has no indication of polyspecific autoreactivity. Haynes2005 (antibody binding site)
E51: E51 recognizes a highly conserved epitope localized in the basic β19-strand (gp120 aa420-423), a region involved in CCR5 binding. The MAb was isolated from a EBV transformed B-cell line established from an HIV+ individual undergoing early STI. Fab fragments were also produced. E51, like CD4i MAb 17b, blocks CCR5 binding to sCD4-bound gp120. The presence of sCD4 induces a conformational change in gp120, which enhances ligand recognition. The substitutions E381R, F383S, R419D I420R, K421D, Q422L, I423S, and Y435S (HXB2 numbering) all severely reduce 17b and E51 binding. All but I423S also diminish CCR5 binding by more than 50%. The mutation F383S also inhibits sCD4 binding and CD4BS MAb F105 binding, and K421D inhibits F105 binding, but not sCD4. E51 has more cross-neutralizing potency than other prototype CD4i MAbs (17b) for B and C clade isolates. E51 and 17b both neutralized HIV-1 clade B strains HXBc2 and ADA, while JR-FL and 89.6 were only neutralized by E51, not 17b. Clade C strains MCGP1.3 and SA32 were both inhibited by 17b and E51, but E51 was more potent against SA32.

3BNC117: This review focuses on the potential for bnAbs to induce HIV-1 remission, either alone or in combination with latency reversing agents, therapeutic vaccines, or other novel therapeutics. Ongoing human trials aimed at HIV therapy or remission are utilizing the following antibodies, alone or in combination: VRC01, VRC01-LS, VRC07-523-LS, 3BNC117, 10-1074, 10-1074-LS, PGT121, PGDM1400, 10E8.4-iMab, and SAR441236 (trispecific VRC01/PGDM1400-10E8v4). Ongoing non-human primate studies aimed to target, control, or potentially eliminate the viral reservoir are utilizing the following antibodies, alone or in combination: 3BNC117, 10-1074, N6-LS, PGT121, and the GS9721 variant of PGT121. Hsu2021 (immunotherapy, review)
3BNC117: A series of mutants was produced in the CAP256-VRC26.25 heavy chain, for the purpose of avoiding the previously-identified proteolytic cleavage at position K100m. Neutralization of the mutants was tested, and the cleavage-resistant variant that showed the greatest potency was K100mA. In addition to the K100mA mutation, an LS mutation was added to the Fc portion of the heavy chain, as this change has been shown to improve the half-life of antibodies used for passive administration without affecting neutralization potency. The resulting construct was named CAP256V2LS. The pharmacokinetics of CAP256V2LS were assessed in macaques and mice, and it showed a profile similar to other antibodies used for immunotherapy. The antibody lacked autoreactivity. Structural analysis of wild-type CAP256-VRC26.25 showed that the K100m residue is not involved in interaction with the Env trimer. Neutralization data for 3BNC117 were used for comparison purposes. Zhang2022 (neutralization, immunotherapy, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: An elite HIV-controlling patient SA003 was found to have a high level of serum bNAb activity, and broadly neutralizing mAb LN01 IgG3 was isolated from patient serum. MAb 3BNC117 was used as a comparison in an assay of ADCC. Pinto2019 (ADCC)
3BNC117: In 8 ART-treated patients, latent viruses were induced by a viral outgrowth assay and assayed for their sensitivity to neutralization by 8 broadly neutralizing antibodies (VRC01, VRC07-523, 3BNC117, PGT121, 10-1074, PGDM1400, VRC26.25, 10E8v4-V5F-100cF). The patients' inducible reservoir of autologous viruses was generally refractory to neutralization, and higher Env diversity correlated with greater resistance to neutralization. Wilson2021 (autologous responses, neutralization, HIV reservoir/latency/provirus)
3BNC117: In this clinical trial, administration of PGT121 was well tolerated in both HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected individuals. PGT121 potently and transiently inhibited HIV-1 replication in viremic individuals who had PGT121-sensitive viruses at enrollment. There were several distinct viral evolutionary patterns associated with the emergence of PGT121 resistance and viral rebound. These pathways included single point mutations, multiple point mutations, and viral recombination that led to increased resistance. Loss of D325 and the glycan at N332 were specifically associated with resistance in multiple patients. In some patients, resistance to PGT121 was accompanied by resistance to other bNAbs (10-1074, PGDM1400, or 3BNC117), as measured by neutralization assays. Stephenson2021 (mutation acquisition, neutralization, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: Extensive structural and biochemical analyses demonstrated that PGT145 achieves recognition and neutralization by targeting quaternary structure of the cationic trimer apex with long and unusually stabilized anionic β-hairpin HCDR3 loops. Analysis of generated cyroEM structure of BG505 SOSIP.664-3BNC117 (resolution of ˜4.4A) revealed that residues in 3BNC117 HFR3 interact favorably with binding site elements including H71a with N197 glycan and W71d with Env 308 (32%R & 39%H) on the adjacent gp120 protomer. Comparison with generated cryoEM structure of BG505 SOSIP.664-3BNC117-PGT145 (resolution of ˜4.3A) revealed that 3BNC117-binding induced subtle increase in spacing between N160 glycan triad which would provide greater apical site access for PGT145. Lee2017 (antibody binding site, structure)
3BNC117: Humanized mice were grafted with CD34+ T cells isolated from human umbilical cords, and later challenged by intra-rectal infection with HIV-1 strain NL4-3. Mice treated with a mix of 3 bNAbs (10-1074, 3BNC117, and SF12) resisted mucosal infection. Vanshylla2021 (neutralization, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: Novel Env pseudoviruses were derived from 22 patients in China infected with subtype CRF01_AE viruses. Neutralization IC50 was determined for 11 bNAbs: VRC01, NIH45-46G54W, 3BNC117, PG9, PG16, 2G12, PGT121, 10-1074, 2F5, 4E10, and 10E8. The CRF01_AE pseudoviruses exhibited different susceptibility to these bNAbs. Overall, 4E10, 10E8, and 3BNC117 neutralized all 22 env-pseudotyped viruses, followed by NIH45-46G54W and VRC01, which neutralized more than 90% of the viruses. 2F5, PG9, and PG16 showed only moderate breadth, while the other three bNAbs neutralized none of these pseudoviruses. Specifically, 10E8, NIH45-46G54Wand 3BNC117 showed the highest efficiency, combining neutralization potency and breadth. Mutations at position 160, 169, 171 were associated with resistance to PG9 and PG16, while loss of a potential glycan at position 332 conferred insensitivity to V3-glycan-targeting bNAbs. These results may help in choosing bNAbs that can be used preferentially for prophylactic or therapeutic approaches in China. Wang2018a (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
3BNC117: A novel CD4bs bNAb, 1-18, is identified with breadth (97% against a 119-strain multiclade panel) and potency (IC₅₀ = 0.048 µg/mL) exceeding most V_H1-46 and V_H1-2 class bNAbs like 3BNC117, VRC01, N6, 8ANC131, 10-1074, PGT151, PGT121, 8ANC195, PG16 and PGDM1400. 1-18 effectively restricts viral escape better than bNAbs 3BNC117 and VRC01. While 1-18 targets the CD4bs like VRC01-like Abs, it recognizes the epitope differently. Neutralizing activity against VRC01 Ab-class escapes is maintained by 1-18. In humanized mice infected by strain 1_YU2, viral suppression is also maintained by 1-18. V_H1-46-derived B cell clone 4.1 from patient IDC561 produced potent, broadly active Abs. Subclone 4.1 is characterized by a 6 aa CDRH1 insertion lengthening it from 8 to 14 aa. and produces bNAbs 1-18 and 1-55. Cryo-EM at 2.5A of 1-18 in complex with BG505_SOSIP.664 suggests their insertion increases inter-protomer contacts by a negatively charged DDDPYTDDD motif, resulting in an enlargement of the buried surface on HIV-1 gp120. Variation in glycosylation is thought to confer higher neutralizing activity on 1-18 over 1-55. Schommers2020 (antibody binding site, antibody generation, antibody interactions, neutralization, escape, binding affinity, antibody sequence, structure, broad neutralizer, contact residues)
3BNC117: Soluble versions of HIV-1 Env trimers (sgp140 SOSIP.664) stabilized by a gp120-gp41 disulfide bond and a change (I559P) in gp41 have been structurally characterized. Cross-linking/mass spectrometry to evaluate the conformations of functional membrane Env and sgp140 SOSIP.664 has been reported. Differences were detected in the gp120 trimer association domain and C terminus and in the gp41 HR1 region which can guide the improvement of Env glycoprotein preparations and potentially increasing their effectiveness as a vaccine. Castillo-Menendez2019 (vaccine antigen design, structure)
3BNC117: In an attempt to engage appropriate germline B cells that give rise to bNAbs, a combination of Env glycan modifications that permit far greater neutralization potency by near germline forms of multiple VRC01-class bNAbs were tested. The authors assessed CD4bs bNAbs for neutralizing activity against of Env-pseudotyped viruses (EPV) that were either Man5-enriched and/or had targeted glycan deletion and concluded that neutralization by germline-reverted forms of VRC01-class bNAbs requires a combination of both Man5-enrichment and glycan deletion. In particular, Man5-enrichment increased the sensitivity of 426c by 8–12 fold when assayed with mature VRC01, 3BNC117, VRC-CH31 and CH103, and this sensitivity increased further by targeted glycan deletion. Furthermore, Man5-enrichment increased the sensitivity of subtype C transmitted-founder 426c EPV that lacked glycan N276, and those that lacked two glycans at N460 and N463, to mature VRC01 by ˜10-fold. LaBranche2018 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
3BNC117: A dose-escalation phase 1b study in HIV-1-infected individuals to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiretroviral activity of the combination of the Abs 3BNC117 and 10–1074 has been reported. Participants in groups 1A and 1B were virologically suppressed on ART and were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive one intravenous infusion of each of 3BNC117 and 10–1074 or placebo. Viremic individuals off ART were enrolled in group 1C or group 3, and received one intravenous infusion (group 1C) or three intravenous infusions (group 3, every two weeks) of each 3BNC117 and 10–1074. The combination of 3BNC117 and 10–1074 was more effective in suppressing viremia than either antibody alone. However, 3BNC117 and 10–1074 infusions failed to suppress viremia to undetectable levels in the two dual antibody-sensitive individuals with the highest pre-infusion viral load despite persistent reductions for up to 12 weeks. Bar-On2018 (neutralization, immunotherapy, HAART, ART)
3BNC117: This study demonstrated that bNAb signatures can be utilized to engineer HIV-1 Env vaccine immunogens eliciting Ab responses with greater neutralization breadth. Data from four large virus panels were used to comprehensively map viral signatures associated with bNAb sensitivity, hypervariable region characteristics, and clade effects. The bNAb signatures defined for the V2 epitope region were then employed to inform immunogen design in a proof-of-concept exploration of signature-based epitope targeted (SET) vaccines. V2 bNAb signature-guided mutations were introduced into Env 459C to create a trivalent vaccine which resulted in increased breadth of NAb responses compared with Env 459C alone. The G458Y signature mutation conferred complete resistance (IC50> 25 mg/mL) to 3BNC117 and can neutralize the CH505 TF (IC50 0.03 mg/mL). 3BNC117 has reduced breadth and potency against C clade viruses. Bricault2019 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, computational epitope prediction, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: Three vaccine regimens administered in guinea pigs over 200 weeks were compared for ability to elicit NAb polyclonal sera. While tier 1 NAb responses did increase with vaccination, tier 2 NAb heterologous responses did not. The 3 regimens were C97 (monovalent, Clade C gp140), 4C (tetravalent, 4 Clade C mosaic gp140s), ABCM (tetravalent, Clades A, B, C and mosaic gp140s). Polyclonal sera generated from all 3 regimens were able to outcompete 3BNC117 binding to C97 gp140, suggesting that the sera contains antibodies that bind in the vicinity of CD4bs. Bricault2018 (antibody generation, vaccine-induced immune responses, polyclonal antibodies)
3BNC117: In vitro neutralization data against 25 subtype A, 100 C, and 20 D pseudoviruses of 8 bNAbs (3BNC117, N6, VRC01, VRC07-523LS, CAP256-VRC26.25, PGDM1400, 10–1074, PGT121) and 2 bispecific Abs under clinical development (10E8-iMAb, 3BNC117-PGT135) was studied to assess the antibodies’ potential to prevent infection by dominant HIV-1 subtypes in sub-Saharan Africa. In vivo protection of these Abs and their 2-Ab combination was predicted using a function of in vitro neutralization based on data from a macaque simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) challenge study. Conclusions were that 1. bNAb combinations outperform individual bNAbs 2. Different bNAb combinations were optimal against different HIV subtypes 3. Bispecific 10E8-iMAb outperformed all combinations and 4. 10E8-iMAb in combination with other conventional Abs was predicted to be the best combination against HIV-infection. 3BNC117 + CAP256-VRC26.25 was the most potent combination against subtype D. Wagh2018 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: A simple method to quantify and compare serum neutralization probabilities in described. The method uses logistic regression to model the probability that a serum neutralizes a virus with an ID50 titer above a cutoff. The neutralization potency (NP) identifies where the probabilities of neutralizing and not neutralizing a virus are equal and is not absolute as it depends on the ID50 cutoff. It provides a continuous measure for sera, which builds upon established tier categories now used to rate virus sensitivity. These potency comparisons are similar to comparing geometric mean neutralization titers, but instead are represented in tier-like terms. Increasing the number of bNAbs increases NP and slope, where the higher the slope, the sharper the boundary (lower scatter) between viruses neutralized and not neutralized. 3BNC117 was used in analysis of monoclonal bNAb combinations. Hraber2018 (assay or method development, neutralization)
3BNC117: This review summarizes current advances in antibody lineage-based design and epitope-based vaccine design. Antibody lineage-based design is described for VRC01, PGT121 and PG9 antibody classes, and epitope-based vaccine design is described for the CD4-binding site, as well as fusion peptide and glycan-V3 cites of vulnerability. Kwong2018 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, review, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer, junction or fusion peptide)
3BNC117: This review discusses the identification of super-Abs, where and how such Abs may be best applied and future directions for the field. 3BNC117 was isolated from human B cell clones and is functionally similar to VRC01. Both 3BNC117 and 3BNC117-LS are in Phase I clinical trials (Table 2). Antigenic region CD4 binding site (Table:1). Walker2018 (antibody binding site, review, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: Polyreactive properties of natural and artificially engineered HIV-1 bNAbs were studied, with almost 60% of the tested HIV-1 bNAbs (including this one) exhibiting low to high polyreactivity in different immunoassays. A previously unappreciated polyreactive binding for PGT121, PGT128, NIH45-46W, m2, and m7 was reported. Binding affinity, thermodynamic, and molecular dynamics analyses revealed that the co-emergence of enhanced neutralizing capacities and polyreactivity was due to an intrinsic conformational flexibility of the antigen-binding sites of bNAbs, allowing a better accommodation of divergent HIV-1 Env variants. Prigent2018 (antibody polyreactivity)
3BNC117: A panel of bnAbs were studied to assess ongoing adaptation of the HIV-1 species to the humoral immunity of the human population. Resistance to neutralization is increasing over time, but concerns only the external glycoprotein gp120, not the MPER, suggesting a high selective pressure on gp120. Almost all the identified major neutralization epitopes of gp120 are affected by this antigenic drift, suggesting that gp120 as a whole has progressively evolved in less than 3 decades. Bouvin-Pley2014 (neutralization)
3BNC117: The first cryo-EM structure of a cross-linked vaccine antigen was solved. The 4.2 Å structure of HIV-1 BG505 SOSIP soluble recombinant Env in complex with a bNAb PGV04 Fab fragment revealed how cross-linking affects key properties of the trimer. SOSIP and GLA-SOSIP trimers were compared for antigenicity by ELISA, using a large panel of mAbs previously determined to react with BG505 Env. Non-NAbs globally lost reactivity (7-fold median loss of binding), likely because of covalent stabilization of the cross-linked ‘closed’ form of the GLA-SOSIP trimer that binds non-NAbs weakly or not at all. V3-specific non-NAbs showed 2.1–3.3-fold reduced binding. Three autologous rabbit monoclonal NAbs to the N241/N289 ‘glycan-hole’ surface, showed a median ˜1.5-fold reduction in binding. V3 non-NAb 4025 showed residual binding to the GLA-SOSIP trimer. By contrast, bNAbs like 3BNC117 broadly retained reactivity significantly better than non-NAbs, with exception of PGT145 (3.3-5.3 fold loss of binding in ELISA and SPR). Schiffner2018 (binding affinity, structure)
3BNC117: M428L and N434S mutations [referred to as “LS”] were introduced into the genes encoding the crystallizable fragment domains of 3BNC117 and 10-1074 bNAbs to increase their half-lives. The efficacy of modified bNAbs in blocking infections following repeated low dose mucosal challenges of rhesus macaques with the Tier 2 SHIVAD8-EO was evaluated. The most striking result was the long period of protective efficacy conferred by a single injection of crystallizable fragment domain-modified hbNAbs in macaques compared to that previously reported. A single intravenous infusion of the 10-1074-LS bNAb protected a cohort of 6 monkeys for up to 8.5 months (18 to 37 weeks). LS mutation in 10-1074 lengthened the median time until SHIVAD8-EO acquisition from 12.5 to 27 weeks, with 10-1074-LS bNAb measurable in the serum for 26 to 41 weeks and a calculated half-life of 3.8 weeks. The effects of the LS change on 3BNC117 were more modest than 10-1074, with a shorter half-life (2.6 versus 3.8 weeks), smaller increase in half-life (2 vs. 3.8-fold), and lower initial serum concentrations.

3BNC117: Panels of C clade pseudoviruses were computationally downselected from the panel of 200 C clade viruses defined by Rademeyer et al. 2016. A 12-virus panel was defined for the purpose of screening sera from vaccinees. Panels of 50 and 100 viruses were defined as smaller sets for use in testing magnitude and breadth against C clade. Published neutralization data for 16 mAbs was taken from CATNAP for the computational selections: 10-1074, 10-1074V, PGT121, PGT128, VRC26.25, VRC26.08, PGDM1400, PG9, PGT145, VRC07-523, 10E8, VRC13, 3BNC117, VRC07, VRC01, 4E10. Hraber2017 (assay or method development, neutralization)
3BNC117: Early administration of bNAbs in a macaque-SHIV model is associated with a persistent very low level of viremia resulting in long-term infection control. Passive combination immunotherapy of 3BNC117 and 10-1074, 3 days after intrarectal infection, and targeting non-overlapping epitopes on the Env spike effected viremic suppression for 56-177 days, with rebound directly correlated to plasma concentration of bNAb. On day 56 macaque MVJ experienced SHIV_AD8-EO rebound when plasma 3BNC117 decayed below 1 µg/ml. Nishimura2017 (acute/early infection, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: The next generation of a computational neutralization fingerprinting (NFP) being used as a way to predict polyclonal Ab responses to HIV infection is presented. A new panel of 20 pseudoviruses, termed f61, was developed to aid in the assessment of experimental neutralization. This panel was used to assess 22 well-characterized bNAbs and mixtures thereof (HJ16, VRC01, 8ANC195, IGg1b12, PGT121, PGT128, PGT135, PG9, PGT151, 35O22, 10E8, 2F5, 4E10, VRC27, VRC-CH31, VRC-PG20, PG04, VRC23, 12A12, 3BNC117, PGT145, CH01). The new algorithms accurately predicted VRC01-like and PG9-like antibody specificities. Doria-Rose2017 (neutralization, computational epitope prediction)
3BNC117: This review focuses on the potential role of HIV-1-specific NAbs in preventing HIV-1 infection. Several NAbs have provided protection from infection in SHIV challenge studies in primates: b12, VRC01, VRC07-523LS, 3BNC117, PG9, PGT121, PGT126, 10-1074, 2G12, 4E10, 2F5, 10E8. Pegu2017 (immunoprophylaxis, review)
3BNC117: In 33 individuals (14 uninfected and 19 HIV-1-infected), intravenous infusion of 10-1074 was well tolerated. In infected individuals with sensitive strains, 10-1074 decreased viremia, but escape variants and viral rebound occurred within a few weeks. Escape variants were also resistant to V3 antibody PGT121, but remained sensitive to antibodies targeting other epitopes (3BNC117, VRC01 or PGDM1400). Loss of the PNGS at position N332 or 324G(D/N)IR327 mutation was associated with resistance to 10-1074 and PGT121. Caskey2017 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: This study investigated the ability of native, membrane-expressed JR-FL Env trimers to elicit NAbs. Rabbits were immunized with virus-like particles (VLPs) expressing trimers (trimer VLP sera) and DNA expressing native Env trimer, followed by a protein boost (DNA trimer sera). N197 glycan- and residue 230- removal conferred sensitivity to Trimer VLP sera and DNA trimer sera respectively, showing for the first time that strain-specific holes in the "glycan fence" can allow the development of tier 2 NAbs to native spikes. All 3 sera neutralized via quaternary epitopes and exploited natural gaps in the glycan defenses of the second conserved region of JR-FL gp120. VRC01 was 1 of 4 reference VRC01-like bNAbs - VRC01, 3BNC117, 8ANC131, CH103. Crooks2015 (glycosylation, neutralization)
3BNC117: Infusions of 3BNC117 were given to 13 HIV-infected individuals during analytical treatment interruption. The antibody was well tolerated. Infusions were associated with a delay in viral rebound. In most individuals, rebound viruses showed increased resistance to 3BNC117, but in 30% of patients the virus showed no sign of escape over a period of 9-19 weeks. Scheid2016 (escape, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: Chimeric antigen receptors, i.e., fusion proteins made from single-chain antibodies, may be a useful approach to immunotherapy. A set of mAbs were chosen based on their binding to a variety of sites on Env and availability of antibody sequences. The chimeric receptors were created by fusing the antibody's heavy chain, light chain, and two signaling domains into a single molecule. All 7 antibodies used to make the chimeric receptors (10E8, 3BNC117, PGT126, VRC01, X5, PGT128, PG9) showed specific killing of HIV-1 infected cells and suppression of viral replication against a panel of HIV-1 strains. Ali2016 (immunotherapy, chimeric antibody)
3BNC117: This review classified and mapped the binding regions of 32 bNAbs isolated 2010-2016. Wu2016 (review)
3BNC117: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
3BNC117: This study assessed the ADCC activity of antibodies of varied binding types, including CD4bs (b6, b12, VRC01, PGV04, 3BNC117), V2 (PG9, PG16), V3 (PGT126, PGT121, 10-1074), oligomannose (2G12), MPER (2F5, 4E10, 10E8), CD4i (17b, X5), C1/C5 (A32, C11), cluster I (240D, F240), and cluster II (98-6, 126-7). ADCC activity was correlated with binding to Env on the surfaces of virus-infected cells. ADCC was correlated with neutralization, but not always for lab-adapted viruses such as HIV-1 NLA-3. vonBredow2016 (ADCC)
3BNC117: This review summarizes representative anti-HIV MAbs of the first generation (2G12, b12, 2F5, 4E10) and second generation (PG9, PG16, PGT145, VRC26.09, PGDM1400, PGT121, PGT124, PGT128, PGT135, 10-1074, VRC01, 3BNC117, CH103, PGT151, 35O22, 8ANC195, 10E8). Structures, epitopes, VDJ usage, CDR usage, and degree of somatic hypermutation are compared among these antibodies. The use of SOSIP trimers as immunogens to elicit B-cell responses is discussed. Burton2016 (review, structure)
3BNC117: bNAbs were found to have potent activating but not inhibitory FcγR-mediated effector function that can confer protection by blocking viral entry or suppressing viremia. bNAb activity is augmented with engineered Fc domains when assessed in in vivo models of HIV-1 entry or in therapeutic models using HIV-1-infected humanized mice. Enhanced FcγR engagement is not restricted by epitope specificity or neutralization potency as chimeras composed of human anti-CD4bs 3BNC117 Fab and mouse Fc had improved or reduced in vivo activity depending on the Fc used. Bournazos2014 (neutralization, chimeric antibody)
3BNC117: A comprehensive antigenic map of the cleaved trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 was made by bNAb cross-competition. Epitope clusters at the CD4bs, quaternary V1/V2 glycan, N332-oligomannose patch and new gp120-gp41 interface and their interactions were delineated. Epitope overlap, proximal steric inhibition, allosteric inhibition or reorientation of glycans were seen in Ab cross-competition. Thus bNAb binding to trimers can affect surfaces beyond their epitopes. Among CD4bs binding bNAbs, 3BNC117 recognizes trimer similarly to CH103, CH106, 1NC9 and VRC01, and is inhibited by sCD4. It enhanced binding of several V1/V2-glycan, V3-glycan or outer domain (OD)-glycan bNAbs; and 3BNC117 binding is enhanced by Ab 8ANC195. OD-glycan bNAbs, PGT135 and PGT136, though ˜ 5x less efficient binders of trimer, were able to unidirectionally inhibit binding of 3BNC117, as also other CD4bs bNAbs, VRC01, 2BNC60, NIH45-46. 3BNC117, alongwith 1NC9 differs slightly from more typical CD4bs bNAbs by its dependence on N-276 glycan. Derking2015 (antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
3BNC117: A new trimeric immunogen, BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, was developed that bound and activated most known neutralizing antibodies but generally did not bind antibodies lacking neuralizing activity. This highly stable immunogen mimics the Env spike of subtype A transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strain, BG505. Anti-CD4bs bNAb 2BNC117 neutralized BG505.T332N, the pseudoviral equivalent of the immunogen BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, and was shown to recognize and bind the immunogen too. Sanders2013 (assay or method development, neutralization, binding affinity)
3BNC117: This review discusses the application of bNAbs for HIV treatment and eradication, focusing on bnAbs that target key epitopes, specifically: 2G12, 2F5, 4E10, VRC01, 3BNC117, PGT121, VRC26.08, VRC26.09, PGDM1400, and 10-1074. 3BNC117 is a CD4bs-specific bnAb that has been administered in both primate and human trials. Stephenson2016 (immunotherapy, review)
3BNC117: This review discusses the breakthroughs in understanding of the biology of the transmitted virus, the structure and nature of its envelope trimer, vaccine-induced CD8 T cell control in primates, and host control of bnAb elicitation. Haynes2016 (review)
3BNC117: This review summarized the novel strategies for HIV vaccine discovery. Multiple therapeutic vaccines have failed in the past, in a non placebo controlled trial, a Tat vaccine demonstrated immune cell restoration, reduction of immune activation, and reduced HIV-1 DNA viral load. bNAbs offer both prevention potential and treatment. In early-phase clinical trials, VRC01 reduced viral load in HIV-1-infected individuals not on HAART. Gray2016 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, HAART, ART, review)
3BNC117: This study examined the neutralization of group N, O, and P primary isolates of HIV-1 by diverse antibodies. Cross-group neutralization was observed only with the bNAbs targeting the N160 glycan-V1/V2 site. Four group O isolates, 1 group N isolate, and the group P isolates were neutralized by PG9 and/or PG16 or PGT145 at low concentrations. None of the non-M primary isolates were neutralized by bNAbs targeting other regions, except 10E8, which weakly neutralized 2 group N isolates, and 35O22 which neutralized 1 group O isolate. Bispecific bNAbs (PG9-iMab and PG16-iMab) very efficiently neutralized all non-M isolates with IC₅₀ below 1 ug/mL, except for 2 group O strains. Anti-CD4bs bNAb 3BNC117 was able to neutralize only 1/16 tested non-M primary isolates at an IC₅₀< 10µg/ml, RBF208,M/O at 0.63 µg/ml. Morgand2015 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
3BNC117: The neutralization of 14 bnAbs was assayed against a global panel of 12 or 17 Env pseudoviruses. From IC₅₀, IC₈₀, IC₉₀, and IC₉₉ values, the slope of the dose-response curve was calculated. Each class of Ab had a fairly consistent slope. Neutralization breadth was strongly correlated with slope. An IIP (Instantaneous Inhibitory Potential) value was calculated, based on both the slope and IC50, and this value may be predictive of clinical efficacy. 3BNC117, a CD4bs bnAb belonged to a group with slopes >1. Webb2015 (neutralization)
3BNC117: This study presented structures of germline-reverted VRC01-class bNAbs alone and complexed with 426c-based gp120 immunogens. Germline bNAb–426c gp120 complexes showed preservation of VRC01-class signature residues and gp120 contacts, but detectably different binding modes compared to mature bNAb-gp120 complexes. It reported that unlike most antibodies, the overall final structures of VRC01 class antibodies are formed before the antibodies mature. The overall charge on 3BNC117 is +5, average for VRC01-class antibodies. It requires the A61P substitution in mature bNAb for maximal neutralization, even though it thermally destabilizes the helix in that part of 3BNC117. Scharf2016 (structure)
3BNC117: The dynamics and characteristics of anti-antibody responses were described for monkeys that received adenovirus-mediated delivery of either rhesus anti-SIV antibody constructs (4L6 or 5L7) in prevention trials, or a combination of rhesusized human anti-HIV antibodies (1NC9/8ANC195/3BNC117 or 10-1074/10E8/3BNC117) in therapy trials. Anti-antibody responses to the human mAbs were correlated to the distance from the germline Ab sequences. Martinez-Navio2016 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: Based on the results of 3BNC117 administered to human subjects, mathematical modeling was unable to recapitulate the kinetics of the viral decline. Revision of the model to fit the data suggested that the antibody may clear infected cells, in addition to neutralizing free virions. In in vitro experiments, 3BNC177, PG16, and 10-1074 were able to stain cells infected with HIV-1 YU2. Both 3BNC117 and 10-1074 recognized cells infected with primary virus isolates from human subjects that had been previously infused with 3BNC117. Either 3BNC117 alone, or in combination with 10-1074, was able to accelerate the clearance of YU2-infected cells in humanized mice, decreasing the half life of the infected cell. This result was shown to be mediated by the Fc-gamma receptor. Lu2016 (ADCC, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: A single infusion of 3BNC117 was administered to 27 HIV-1-infected individuals. Analysis of env sequences over time revealed significant increases in sequence diversity. Improved neutralizing responses to tier-2 viruses were seen in nearly all study subjects over a 6-month period, while untreated individuals showed little change. Viremic individuals receiving 3BNC117, however, produced Abs to autologous virus that were sensitive or resistant. It is unknown how passively-administered antibodies accelerate the emergence of bnAbs, but this appears to be the case. Schoofs2016 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: Donor EB179 was a long-term non-progressor with high serum neutralization breadth and potency. 8 B-cell clones produced Abs, including 179NC75, which had the highest neutralization, especially to Clade B viruses, neutralizing 70% of a clade-B pseudovirus panel and 6 out of 9 cross-clade Env pseudoviruses as opposed to bNAb 3BNC117's neutralizing 7/9 of the same psuedoviral panel. Freund2015 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: A panel of antibodies was tested for binding, stability, and ADCC activity on HIV-infected cells. The differences in killing efficiency were linked to changes in binding of the antibody and the accessibility of the Fc region when bound to infected cells. Ab 3BNC117 had strong ADCC. Bruel2016 (ADCC, binding affinity)
3BNC117: This review summarized bNAb immunotherapy studies. Several bnAbs have been shown to decrease viremia in vivo, and are a prospect for preventative vaccinations. bNAbs have 3 possible immune effector functions: (1) directly neutralizing virions, (2) mediating anti-viral activity through Fc-FcR interactions, and (3) binding to viral antigen to be taken up by dendritic cells. In contrast to anti-HIV mAbs, antibodies against host cell CD4 and CCR5 receptors (iMab and PRO 140) are hindered by their short half-life in vivo. MAb 3BNC117 was the first to be tested in a human trial and has also shown promising results in studies in humanized mice and macaques. Halper-Stromberg2016 (immunotherapy, review)
3BNC117: The rate of maturation and extent of diversity for the VRC01 lineage were characterized through longitudinal sampling of peripheral B cell transcripts from donor 45 over 15 years and co-crystal structures. VRC01-lineage clades underwent continuous evolution, with rates of ˜2 substitutions per 100 nucleotides per year, comparable with HIV-1 evolution. 39 VRC01-lineage Abs segregated into three major clades, and all Abs from donor 45 contained a cysteine at position 98 (99 in some sequences due to a 1-aa insertion) which was used as a signature to assess membership in the VRC01 lineage. Of 1,041 curated NGS sequences assigned to the VRC01 lineage, six did not contain the cysteine while 1,035 did (99.4%). Structural comparison of 3BNC117 heavy and light chains and binding surfaces were reported (Table-S5). Wu2015 (structure, antibody lineage)
3BNC117: Four bNAbs (VRC01, VRC01-LS, 3BNC117, and 10-1074) were administered, singly or in combination, to macaques, followed by weekly challenges with clade B SHIV_AD8. In all cases, the administration of MAbs delayed virus acquisition. Control animals required 2 to 6 challenges before becoming infected, while animals receiving VRC01 required 4–12 challenges; 3BNC117 required 7–20 challenges; 10-1074 required 6–23 challenges; and VRC01-LS required 9–18 challenges. Animals that received a single antibody infusion resisted infection for up to 23 weekly challenges. Gautam2016 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: This study isolated 4 novel antibodies that bind the CD4 binding site of Env. Population-level analysis classified a diverse group of CD4bs antibodies into two types: CDR H3-dominated or VH-gene-restricted, each with distinct ontogenies. Structural data revealed that neutralization breadth was correlated with angle of approach of the antibodies to the CD4 binding region. 3BNC117 was one of the antibodies in the VH gene restricted, 8ANC131-like class. Zhou2015 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: Double, triple or quadruple combinations of fifteen bNAbs that target 4 distinct epitope regions: the CD4 binding site (3BNC117, VRC01, VRC07, VRC07-523, VRC13), the V3-glycan supersite (10–1074, 10-1074V, PGT121, PGT128), the V1/V2-glycan site (PG9, PGT145, PGDM1400, CAP256-VRC26.08, CAP256-VRC26.25), and the gp41 MPER epitope (10E8) were studied. Their neutralization potency and breadth were assayed against a panel of 200 acute/early subtype C strains, and compared to a novel, highly accurate predictive mathematical model (no-overlap Bliss Hill model, CombiNaber tool, LANL HIV Immunology database). These data were used to predict the best combinations of bNAbs for immunotherapy. Wagh2016 (neutralization, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: 3BNC117 infusion in humans was well tolerated, demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetics, and reduced the viral load in HIV-1-infected individuals. Emergence of resistant viral strains was variable, with some individuals remaining sensitive to 3BNC117 for a period of 28 days, with significantly reduced viremia. Contact residues and several mutations in gp120 after immunotherapy are mentioned for different subjects, including G459D, Q363H, S461D and S274Y. Caskey2015 (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: This study reports the generation of a human CD4- and human CCR5-expressing transgenic luciferase reporter mouse that facilitates measurement of peritoneal and genitomucosal HIV-1 pseudovirus entry in vivo for the preclinical evaluation of prophylactic or vaccine candidates. The results showed that passive transfer of neutralizing Abs can protect HIV-LucTG mice from cervicovaginal infection with HIV-1 pseudoviruses. Gruell2013 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunotherapy)
3BNC117: A gp140 trimer mosaic construct (MosM) was produced based on M group sequences. MosM bound to CD4 as well as multiple bNAbs, including VRC01, 3BNC117, PGT121, PGT126, PGT145, PG9 and PG16. The immunogenicity of this construct, both alone and mixed together with a clade C Env protein vaccine, suggest a promising approach for improving NAb responses. Nkolola2014 (vaccine antigen design)
3BNC117_dRU3: The ontogeny of VRC01 class Abs was determined by enumerating VRC01-class characteristics in many donors by next-gen sequencing and X-ray crystallography. Analysis included VRC01 (donor NIH 45), VRC-PG04 (donor IAVI 74), VRC-CH31 (donor 0219), 3BNC117 (donor RU3), 12A21 (donor IAVI 57), and somatically related VRC-PG19,19b, 20, 20b MAbs from donor IAVI 23. Despite the sequence differences of VRC01-class Abs, exceeding 50%, Ab-gp120 cocrystal structures showed VRC01-class recognition to be remarkably similar. It is reported that glutamic acid to glutamine mutation at residue 96 decreased the binding affinity to 10 fold in this Ab. Zhou2013a (antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage)
3BNC117: Next generation sequencing was applied to a new donor C38 (different from donor NIH45) to identify VRC01 class bNAbs. VRC01 class heavy chains were selected through a cross-donor phylogenetic analysis. VRC01 class light chains were identified through a five-amino-acid sequence motif. (CDR L3 length of 5 amino acids and Q or E at position 96 (Kabat numbering) or position 4 within the CDR L3 sequence.) 3BNC117 was used to compare the heavy & light chain sequences as a template of VRC01 class Ab. Its crystal structure was studied. Zhu2013a (antibody sequence, structure)
3BNC117: Profound therapeutic efficacy of PGT121 and PGT121-containing monoclonal antibody cocktails was demonstrated in chronically SHIV-SF162P3 infected rhesus monkeys. Cocktails included 1, 2, and 3 mAb combinations of PGT121, 3BNC117 and b12. Cocktails including PGT121 were efficient, 3BNC117 alone resulted in only a transient small reduction of plasma viral loads. Barouch2013a (immunotherapy)
3BNC117: A computational method to predict Ab epitopes at the residue level, based on structure and neutralization panels of diverse viral strains has been described. This method was evaluated using 19 Env-Abs, including 3BNC117, against 181 diverse HIV-1 strains with available Ab-Ag complex structures. Chuang2013 (computational epitope prediction)
3BNC117: "Neutralization fingerprints" for 30 neutralizing antibodies were determined using a panel of 34 diverse HIV-1 strains. 10 antibody clusters were defined: VRC01-like, PG9-like, PGT128-like, 2F5-like, 10E8-like and separate clusters for b12, CD4, 2G12, HJ16, 8ANC195. This mAb belongs to 10E8-like cluster. Georgiev2013 (neutralization)
3BNC117: Neutralizing antibody response was studied in elite controller. Subject VC10042 is an African American male, infected with clade B for 2 decades (since 1984) without any signs of disease and no antiretroviral treatment. The neutralizing activity of autologous CD4bs NAbs was very similar to that of NIH45-46W, but very different from other anti-CD4bs MAbs tested. The viral autologous variants that were resistant to neutralization by autologous and most bnMAbs tested had an extremely rare R272/N368 combination. This mutation was shown in the study to impart a fitness cost to the virus. Sather2012 (autologous responses, elite controllers, neutralization, escape, polyclonal antibodies)
3BNC117: A computational tool (Antibody Database) identifying Env residues affecting antibody activity was developed. As input, the tool incorporates antibody neutralization data from large published pseudovirus panels, corresponding viral sequence data and available structural information. The model consists of a set of rules that provide an estimated IC₅₀ based on Env sequence data, and important residues are found by minimizing the difference between logarithms of actual and estimated IC₅₀. The program was validated by analysis of MAb 8ANC195, which had unknown specificity. Predicted critical N-glycosylation for 8ANC195 were confirmed in vitro and in humanized mice. The key associated residues for each MAb are summarized in the Table 1 of the paper and also in the Neutralizing Antibody Contexts & Features tool at Los Alamos Immunology Database. West2013 (glycosylation, computational epitope prediction)
3BNC117: Identification of broadly neutralizing antibodies, their epitopes on the HIV-1 spike, the molecular basis for their remarkable breadth, and the B cell ontogenies of their generation and maturation are reviewed. Ontogeny and structure-based classification is presented, based on MAb binding site, type (structural mode of recognition), class (related ontogenies in separate donors) and family (clonal lineage). This MAb's classification: gp120 CD4-binding site, CD4-mimicry by heavy chain, VRC01 class, 3BNC117 family. Kwong2012 (review, structure, broad neutralizer)
3BNC117: This review discusses how analysis of infection and vaccine candidate-induced antibodies and their genes may guide vaccine design. This MAb is listed as CD4 binding site bnAb, isolated after 2009 by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and 454 deep sequencing. Bonsignori2012b (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, review)
3BNC117: Somatic hypermutations are preferably found in CDR loops, which alter the Ab combining sites, but not the overall structure of the variable domain. FWR of CDR are usually resistant to and less tolerant of mutations. This study reports that most bnAbs require somatic mutations in the FWRs which provide flexibility, increasing Ab breadth and potency. To determine the consequence of FWR mutations the framework residues were reverted to the Ab's germline counterpart (FWR-GL) and binding and neutralizing properties were then evaluated. 3BNC117, a CD4Bs Ab, was among the 17 bnAbs which were used in studying the mutations in FWR. Crystal structure of 3BNC117/gp120 was compared with 3BNC60 in the context of insertion mutations in FWR and its role in increasing neutralizing activities. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
3BNC117: This study shows that Env immunogens fail to engage the germline-reverted forms of known bnAbs that target CD4BS. However, the elimination of a conserved NLGS at Asn276 in Loop D and the NLGS at positions 460 and 463, located in variable region 5 of Env increased the binding and activation of VRC01 and NIH45-46. 3BNC117 was studied as anti-CD4BS bnAbs belongs to VRC01 class. McGuire2013 (neutralization, antibody lineage)
3BNC117: Existing structural and sequence data was analyzed. A set of signature features for potent VRC01-like (PVL) and almost PVL abs was proposed and verified by mutagenesis. 3BNC117 has been referred as a PVL in discussing the breadth and potency of antiCD4 abs. West2012a (antibody lineage)
3BNC117: A single-cell Ab cloning method is described to isolate neutralizing Abs using truncated gp160 transfected cells as bait. Among the 15 Abs reported, only two are found to be broadly neutralizing and bind to a novel conformational HIV-1 spike epitope. Klein2012 (neutralization)
3BNC117: Several antibodies including 10-1074 were isolated from B-cell clone encoding PGT121, from a clade A-infected African donor using YU-2 gp140 trimers as bait. These antibodies were segregated into PGT121-like (PGT121-123 and 9 members) and 10-1074-like (20 members) groups distinguished by sequence, binding affinity, carbohydrate recognition, neutralizing activity, the V3 loop binding and the role of glycans in epitope formation. The epitopes for both groups contain a potential N-linked glycosylation site (PNGS) at Asn332gp120 and the base of the V3 loop of the gp120 subunit of the HIV spike. However, the 10-1074–like Abs required an intact PNGS at Asn332gp120 for their neutralizing activity, whereas PGT121-like antibodies were able to neutralize some viral strains lacking the Asn332gp120 PNGS. 3BNC117 was used as a control in virus neutralization assay. Detail information on the binding and neutralization assays are described in the figures S2-S11. Mouquet2012a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
3BNC117: Neutralization activity was compared against MAb 10E8 and other broad and potent neutralizers in a 181-isolate Env-pseudovirus panel. 2F5 neutralized 84% of viruses at IC₅₀ <50 μg/ml and 77% of viruses at IC₅₀ <1 μg/ml, compared with 98% and 72% of MAb 10E8, respectively. Huang2012a (neutralization)
3BNC117: The sera of 113 HIV-1 seroconverters from three cohorts were analyzed for binding to a set of well-characterized gp120 core and resurfaced stabilized core (RSC3) protein probes, and their cognate CD4bs knockout mutants. 3BNC117 bound very strongly to the gp120 core and RSC3, strongly bound to gp120 core D368R, weakly bound to RSC3/G367R but did not bind to RSC3 Δ3711, and RSC3 Δ3711/P363N. Lynch2012 (binding affinity)
3BNC117: 576 new HIV antibodies were cloned from 4 unrelated individuals producing expanded clones of potent broadly neutralizing CD4bs antibodies that bind to 2CC core. In order to amplify highly somatically mutated immunoglobulin genes, new primer set with 5' primer set further upstream from the potentially mutated region was used. Despite extensive hypermutation, the new antibodies shared a consensus sequence of 68 IgH chain amino acids and arose independently from two related IgH genes. 3BNC117 arises from IgVH1-2 and IgVK1D-33 germline genes and neutralized 100% of 118 isolates representing major HIV-1 clades, and 1/5 VRC01-resistant isolates, with IC₅₀ <50μg/ml. Only 17 of the viruses tested were more sensitive to VRC01 than to 3BNC117. NIH45-46, a new variant of VRC01, was more potent than VRC01 on 62 of the viruses tested but still less potent than 3BNC117. 3BNC117 was polyreactive - reacted with dsDNA and LPS, but not with ssDNA or insulin.

412d: The first cryo-EM structure of a cross-linked vaccine antigen was solved. The 4.2 Å structure of HIV-1 BG505 SOSIP soluble recombinant Env in complex with a bNAb PGV04 Fab fragment revealed how cross-linking affects key properties of the trimer. SOSIP and GLA-SOSIP trimers were compared for antigenicity by ELISA, using a large panel of mAbs previously determined to react with BG505 Env. Non-NAbs like 412d globally lost reactivity (7-fold median loss of binding), likely because of covalent stabilization of the cross-linked ‘closed’ form of the GLA-SOSIP trimer that binds non-NAbs weakly or not at all. V3-specific non-NAbs showed 2.1–3.3-fold reduced binding. Three autologous rabbit monoclonal NAbs to the N241/N289 ‘glycan-hole’ surface, showed a median ˜1.5-fold reduction in binding. V3 non-NAb 4025 showed residual binding to the GLA-SOSIP trimer. By contrast, bNAbs broadly retained reactivity significantly better than non-NAbs, with exception of PGT145 (3.3-5.3 fold loss of binding in ELISA and SPR). Schiffner2018 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
412d: Env from of a highly neutralization-resistant isolate, CH120.6, was shown to be very stable and conformationally-homogeneous. Its gp140 trimer retains many antigenic properties of the intact Env, while its monomeric gp120 exposes more epitopes. Thus trimer organization and stability are important determinants for occluding epitopes and conferring resistance to antibodies. Among a panel of 21 mAbs, CH120.6 was resistant to neutralization by all non-neutralizing and strain-specific mAbs (including 412D), regardless of the location of their epitopes. It was weakly neutralized by several broadly-neutralizing mAbs (VRC01, NIH45-46, 12A12, PG9, PG16, PGT128, 4E10, and 10E8), and well neutralized by only 2 (PGT145 and 10-1074). Cai2017 (neutralization)
412d: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
412d: Two stable homogenous gp140 Env trimer spikes, Clade A 92UG037.8 Env and Clade C C97ZA012 Env, were identified. 293T cells stably transfected with either presented fully functional surface timers, 50% of which were uncleaved. A panel of neutralizing and non-neutralizing Abs were tested for binding to the trimers. Non-neutralizing CD4i Ab, 412d did not bind cell surface or neutralize 92UG037.8 HIV-1 isolate, but it did bind well in the presence of sCD4. Chen2015 (neutralization, binding affinity)
412d: Env trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 as well as the clade B trimer B41 SOSIP.664 were stabilized using a bifunctional aldehyde (glutaraldehye, GLA) or a heterobifunctional cross-linker, EDC/NHS with modest effects on antigenicity and barely any on biochemistry or structural morphology. ELISA, DSC and SPR were used to test recognition of the trimers by bNAbs, which was preserved and by weakly NAbs or non-NAbs, which was reduced. Cross-linking partially preserves quaternary morphology so that affinity chromatography by positive selection using quaternary epitope-specific bNAabs, and negative selection using non-NAbs, enriched antigenic characteristics of the trimers. Binding of CD4i-epitope-recognizing non-NAb, 412D, to trimers was almost completely eliminated by trimer cross-linking. Schiffner2016 (assay or method development, binding affinity, structure)
412d: A new trimeric immunogen, BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, was developed that bound and activated most known neutralizing antibodies but generally did not bind antibodies lacking neuralizing activity. This highly stable immunogen mimics the Env spike of subtype A transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strain, BG505. Anti-CD4i non-NAb 412d did not neutralize BG505.T332N, the pseudoviral equivalent of the immunogen BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, and did not recognize or bind the immunogen either. Sanders2013 (assay or method development, neutralization, binding affinity)
412d: A highly conserved mechanism of exposure of ADCC epitopes on Env is reported, showing that binding of Env and CD4 within the same HIV-1 infected cell effectively exposes these epitopes. The mechanism might explain the evolutionary advantage of downregulation of cell surface CD4v by the Vpu and Nef proteins. 412d was used in co-expression assay to understand the conformational changes in Env upon CD4 binding. Veillette2014 (ADCC)
412d: The conserved central region of gp120 V2 contains sulfated tyrosines (Tys173 and Tys177) that in the CD4-unbound prefusion state mediate intramolecular interaction between V2 and the conserved base of the third variable loop (V3), functionally mimicking sulfated tyrosines in CCR5 and anti-coreceptor-binding-site antibodies such as 412d. Enhancement of tyrosine sulfation decreased binding and neutralization of HIV-1 BaL by monomeric sCD4, 412d, and anti-V3 antibodies and increased recognition by the trimer-preferring antibodies PG9, PG16, CH01, and PGT145. Conversely, inhibition of tyrosine sulfation increased sensitivity to soluble CD4, 412d, and anti-V3 antibodies and diminished recognition by trimer-preferring antibodies. These results identify the sulfotyrosine-mediated V2-V3 interaction as a critical constraint that stabilizes the native HIV-1 envelope trimer and modulates its sensitivity to neutralization. Cimbro2014
412d:X-ray crystallography, surface plasmon resonance and pseudovirus neutralization were used to characterize a heavy chain only llama antibody, named JM4. The full-length IgG2b version of JM4 neutralizes over 95% of circulating HIV-1 isolates. JM4 targets a hybrid epitope on gp120 that combines elements from both the CD4 binding region and the coreceptor binding surface. JM4 epitope overlaps with the CD4i binding site of 412d. Acharya2013 (neutralization)
Database comments: This antibody is not the same as 412-D, described in another entry. Choe2003 is the first publication to mention this monoclonal antibody. The patient was described by Montefiori2001. 4.12D is a CHAVI reagent (http://chavi.org/); Species: human; Category: CD4i MAbs; Contact person: James Robinson
412d: Isolation of VRC06 and VRC06b MAbs from a slow progressor donor 45 is reported. This is the same donor from whom bnMAbs VRC01, VRC03 and NIH 45-46 were isolated and the new MAbs are clonal variants of VRC03. 412d was used as a CoRB-specific MAb to compare binding specificity of VRC06. Li2012
412d: Somatic hypermutations are preferably found in CDR loops, which alter the Ab combining sites, but not the overall structure of the variable domain. FWR of CDR are usually resistant to and less tolerant of mutations. This study reports that most bnAbs require somatic mutations in the FWRs which provide flexibility, increasing Ab breadth and potency. To determine the consequence of FWR mutations the framework residues were reverted to the Ab's germline counterpart (FWR-GL) and binding and neutralizing properties were then evaluated. 412d was used in comparing the Ab framework amino acid replacement vs. interactive surface area on Ab. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
412d: Intrinsic reactivity of HIV-1, a new property regulating the level of both entry and sensitivity to Abs has been reported. This activity dictates the level of responsiveness of Env protein to co-receptor, CD4 engagement and Abs. CD4 independence of the glycoprotein variants exhibits strong correlation with 412d binding. The binding increases significantly with N197S gp41 change but little with J1Hx gp41. Haim2011 (antibody interactions)
412d: Crystal structures of unliganded core gp120 from HIV-1 clade B, C, and E were determined to understand the mechanism of CD4 binding capacity of unliganded HIV-1. The results suggest that the CD4 bound conformation represents "a ground state" for the gp120 core with variable loop. 412d was used as a control to prove whether the purified and crystallized gp120 is in the CD4 bound conformational state or not. Kwon2012 (structure)
412d: To improve the immunogenicity of HIV-1 Env vaccines, a chimeric gp140 trimer in which V1V2 region was replaced by the GM-CSF cytokine was constructed. We selected GM-CSF was selected because of its defined adjuvant activity. Chimeric EnvGM-CSF protein enhanced Env-specific Ab and T cell responses in mice compared with wild-type Env. Probing with neutralizing antibodies showed that both the Env and GM-CSF components of the chimeric protein were folded correctly. 3 proteins were studied: Env-wild-type, Env-ΔV1V2, Env-hGM-CSF. In the absence of CD4, the CD4i epitope MAb 17b, 48d, and 412d bound poorly to Env-wild-type and Env-hGM-CSF but efficiently to Env-ΔV1V2. Adding soluble CD4 substantially increased the binding of these MAb to Env-ΔV1V2 and especially to Env-wild-type, but binding to Env-hGM-CSF was improved only modestly, suggesting that the presence of GM-CSF in the V1V2 region either limits the accessibility of the CD4i epitopes or blocks the conformational changes that expose them. vanMontfort2011 (vaccine antigen design)
412d: Broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity associated with VRC01-like antibodies was studied by isolation of VRC01-like neutralizers with CD4bs probe; structural definition of gp120 recognition by RSC3-identified antibodies from different donors; functional complementation of heavy and light chains among VRC01-like antibodies; identification of VRC01 antibodies by 454 pyrosequencing; and cross-donor phylogenetic analysis of sequences derived from the same precursor germline gene. 412d was studied among other antibodies that derive from a common IGHV1-69 allele to assess how atypical the VRC01-like antibody convergence was. T The angular difference in heavy-chain orientation between 17b, 412d, and X5 was over 90°, or roughly 10 times as much as among the VRC01-like antibodies. Wu2011 (structure)
412d: Crystal structures of gp120 and gp41 in complex with CD4 and/or MAbs 17b, 48d, b12, b13, 412d, X5, 211C, C11, 15e, m6, m9 and F105 were used to determine the structure and the mobility of the gp41-interactive region of gp120. Elements determined to maintain the gp120-gp41 interaction were the gp120 termini and a newly described invariant 7-stranded β-sandwich. Structurally plastic elements of gp120 responsible for the various gp120 conformation changes due to receptor- or Ab-binding were structured into 3 layers, with the V1/V2 loops emanating from layer 2 and the highly glycosylated outer domain from layer 3. Pancera2010a (antibody binding site, structure)
412d: 21c binding, autoreactivity, polyreactivity and protective benefits are discussed and compared to other autoreactive MAbs, such as 2F5 and 4E10. Regulation of CD4i MAbs, such as 21c and 412d, by tolerance mechanisms is discussed. Haynes2010 (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
412d: Expression of gp120 was shown to lead to the accumulation of both monomeric gp120 and aberrant dimeric gp120 forms. Dimeric forms of gp120 were not recognized by CD4i MAbs, such as 412d, nor by MAbs against the gp120 inner domain, but were recognized by CD4BS MAbs. It is suggested that gp120 dimerization occludes or disrupts the inner domain and/or the co-receptor binding site. Formation of gp120 dimers was reduced by removal of the V1/V2 loops or the N and C termini. Finzi2010 (antibody binding site)
412d: A set of Env variants with deletions in V1/V2 was constructed. Replication competent Env variants with V1/V2 deletions were obtained using virus evolution of V1/V2 deleted variants. Sensitivity of the evolved ΔV1V2 viruses was evaluated to study accessibility of their neutralization epitopes. In the absence of sCD4, 412d bound better to the cleaved and uncleaved ΔV1V2 trimers than to the full-length trimer. For cleaved variants, addition of sCD4 did not enhance 412d binding, as it was close to optimal without sCD4. However, the binding of 412d was enhanced by addition of sCD4 for uncleaved variants. 412d did not bind a ΔV1V2 virus carrying V120K substitution. Binding analyses of other CD4i Abs yielded slightly different results, indicating that various CD4i epitopes may be shielded to slightly different extents by the V1V2 domain. Bontjer2010 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
412d: Fusion of CD4 with 412d scFv resulted in CD4-scFv412d reagent with neutralization potency comparable to other CD4-CD4i complexes. The neutralization potency was improved by inclusion of an IgG Fc region and by linkage of CD4 to the heavy chain of 412d. The resulting CD4hc-IgG1412d neutralized a range of clade A, B and C viruses. West2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
412d: 412d precise post-translational mimicry mode of epitope recognition is reviewed in detail. The review also summarizes on how different modes of Ab binding and recognition are used to overcome viral evasion tactics and how this knowledge may be used to re-elicit responses in vivo. Kwong2009a (antibody binding site, review)
412d: The crystal structure for VRC01 in complex with an HIV-1 gp120 core from a clade A/E recombinant strain was analyzed to understand the structural basis for its neutralization breadth and potency. The number of mutations from the germline and the number of mutated contact residues for 412d were smaller than those for VRC01. Zhou2010 (neutralization, structure)
412d: Tyrosine sulfates of 412d had a large effect on its activity, where tyrosine sulfation at positions H100, H100c, or dual sulfation at both positions lead to an increase in affinity for gp120 of, 4.5-fold, 212-fold, and 500-fold, respectively, compared to non-sulfated Ab. Evolving 412d beyond the known sequence constraints required for posttranslational sulfation resulted in sulfated 412d variants binding to gp120 as good as 412d. Liu2009a (kinetics, binding affinity)
412d: The Ig usage for variable heavy chain of this Ab was as follows: IGHV:1-69*01, IGHD:4-4, D-RF:2, IGHJ:2. Non-V3 mAbs preferentially used the VH1-69 gene segment. In contrast to V3 mAbs, these non-V3 mAbs used several VH4 gene segments and the D3-9 gene segment. Similarly to the V3 mAbs, the non-V3 mAbs used the VH3 gene family in a reduced manner. Anti-CD4i mAbs exclusively used the VH1 gene family. Gorny2009 (antibody sequence)
4.12D: Two chimeras were constructed from a new HIV-2KR.X7 proviral scaffold where the V3 region was substituted with the V3 from HIV-1 YU2 and Ccon, generating subtype B and C HIV-2 V3 chimera. Both chimera, and the wildtype HIV-2KR and its derivatives HIV-2KR.X4 and HIV-2KR.X7 were resistant to neutralization by 4.12D. Davis2009 (neutralization)
412D: This review provides information on the HIV-1 glycoprotein properties that make it challenging to target with neutralizing Abs. 412D neutralization properties and binding to HIV-1 envelope, and current strategies to develop versions of the Env spike with functional trimer properties for elicitation of broadly neutralizing Abs, are discussed. In addition, approaches to target cellular molecules, such as CD4, CCR5, CXCR4, and MHC molecules, with therapeutic Abs are reviewed. Phogat2007 (review)
412d: 412d structure, sulfation, and binding are reviewed in detail. Lin2007 (review)
412d: Docking of a functional 14-residue CCR5 N-terminus peptide to the crystal structure of gp120-CD4 in complex with sulfated MAb 412d showed that the peptide binds to the base of the V3 loop in a manner similar to that of 412d. To improve peptide stability, sulfo-tyrosine isosteres were incorporated into the peptide, and its solubility was improved by incorporation of an orthogonally functionalized azido tris (ethylenoxy) L-alanine residue. 412d was able to compete and inhibit peptide binding to gp120-CD4. The peptide was used to develop screening assays for small molecule inhibitors of HIV-1 gp120 and CCR5 interactions. Lam2008 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, structure)
412d: Nuclear magnetic resonance and x-ray crystallography used to analyze the structure of the CCR5 N terminus and 412d in complex with gp120 and CD4 revealed surprisingly different conformations of tyrosine-sulfated regions of CCR5 and 412d. However, a critical sulfotyrosine on CCR5 (residue 14) and on 412d (residue 100c) induced similar structural rearrangements in gp120. Furthermore, the gp120 residues that line the sulfotyrosine binding pocket were highly conserved. The structural analyses indicate that engagement of the CCR5 N terminus by gp120 requires formation of a conserved pocket for sulfotyrosine binding, and converts the flexible V3 stem into a rigid β-hairpin. Huang2007b (antibody binding site, structure)
412d: The structure of the V3 region in the context of gp120 core complexed to the CD4 receptor and to the 412d Ab was attempted to be determined by X-ray resolution, but only the structure for V3 complexed with CD4 and X5 Ab was solved. Huang2005 (structure)
412d: Binding of 412d to gp120 requires the gp120 β19 strand and the base of the V3 loop, indicating that the epitope for this Ab includes these two regions. The major determinants of 412d preference for CCR5-using HIV-1 strains were determined to be amino acid residues 325 and 326 in the base of the V3 loop. The close mimicry of the CCR5 N terminus by 412d was emphasized by showing that replacement of the CCR5 N terminus by 412d heavy chain CDR3 loop resulted in a functional HIV-1 co-receptor. Xiang2005 (antibody binding site, co-receptor)
412d: This review focuses on the importance of neutralizing Abs in protecting against HIV-1 infection, including mechanisms of Ab interference with the viral lifecycle, Ab responses elicited during natural HIV infection, and use of monoclonal and polyclonal Abs in passive immunization. In addition, vaccine design strategies for eliciting of protective broadly neutralizing Abs are discussed. MAbs included in this review are: 2F5, Clone 3 (CL3), 4E10, Z13, IgG1b12, 2G12, m14, 447-52D, 17b, X5, m16, 47e, 412d, E51, CM51, F105, F425, 19b, 2182, DO142-10, 697-D, 448D, 15e and Cβ1. McCann2005 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, neutralization, review)
412d: 412d was obtained from an HIV-1 infected individual with a potent ELISA response to the gp120. It was shown that this MAb heavy chain is sulfate-modified. The sulfates of 412d were present exclusively on tyrosines of its heavy chain CDR3 and they contributed to the binding of this MAb to the gp120 of at least three primary HIV isolates. Binding efficiency of 412d to ADA gp120 was doubled in the presence of CD4, showing that this MAb is a CD4-induced. Association of 412d with ADA gp120-CD4-Ig complex was partially inhibited by a sulfated peptide with a sequence corresponding to the CCR5 amino terminus, indicating that 412d binds a CD4-enhanced epitope overlapping the binding domain of CCR5 amino terminus. Neutralization assays showed that 412d neutralizes primary R5 and R5X4 isolates more efficiently, and X4 isolates less efficiently, than CD4i Abs 17b and 48d. Furthermore, 412d scFv was more than 10 times as potent as full-length 412d at neutralizing ADA. scFv 412d was shown to efficiently bind to gp120 of three R5 isolates but not to the HXBc2 X4 isolate. Choe2003 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, neutralization, antibody sequence)
412d: The CDR3 regions of CD4i Abs (E51, 412d, 17b, C12 and 47e) were cloned onto human IgG1 and tested for their ability to inhibit CCR5 binding. Only E51 successfully immunoprecipitated gp120. Dorfman2006 (co-receptor)

VRC01: Analyses of all PDB HIV1-Env trimer (prefusion, closed) structures fulfilling certain parameters of resolution were performed to classify them on the basis of (a) antibody class which was informed by parental B cells as well as structural recognition, and (b) Env residues defining recognized HIV epitopes. Structural features of the 206 HIV epitope and bNAb paratopes were correlated with functional properties of the breadth and potency of neutralization against a 208-strain panel. bNAbs with >25% breadth of neutralization belonged to 20 classes of antibody with a large number of protruding loops and somatic hypermutation (SHM). HIV epitopes recognized placed the bNAbs into 6 categories (viz. V1V2, Glycan-V3, CD4-binding site, Silent face center, Fusion peptide and Subunit Interface). The epitopes contained high numbers of independent sequence segments and glycosylated surface area. VRC01-Env formed a distinct group within the CD4bs category, Class VRC01. Crystal structure data at 3.4A resolution of fully glycosylated Clade G X1193.ct SOSIP.664 prefusion trimer with VRC01 as well as PGT122 and 35O22 was found in PDB ID: 5FYJ. Chuang2019 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions, binding affinity, antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: In an effort to identify new Env immunogens able to elicit bNAbs, this study looked at Envs derived from rare individuals who possess bNAbs and are elite viral suppressors, hypothesizing that in at least some people the antibodies may mediate durable virus control. The Env proteins recovered from these individuals may more closely resemble the Envs that gave rise to bNAbs compared to the highly diverse viruses isolated from normal progressors. This study identified a treatment-naive elite suppressor, EN3, whose serum had broad neutralization. The Env sequences of EN3 had much fewer polymorphisms, compared to those of a normal progressor, EN1, who also had broad serum neutralization. This result confirmed other reports of slower virus evolution in elite suppressors. EN3 Envelope proteins were unusual in that most possessed two extra cysteines within an elongated V1 region. The impact of the extra cysteines on the binding to bNAbs, virus infectivity, and sensitivity to neutralization suggested that structural motifs in V1 can affect infectivity, and that rare viruses may be prevented from developing escape. As part of this study, the neutralization of pseudotype viruses for EN3 Env clones was assayed for several bnAbs (PG9, PG16, PGT145, PGT121, PGT128, VRC01, 4E10, and 35O22). Hutchinson2019 (elite controllers, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, polyclonal antibodies)
VRC01: This review focuses on the potential for bnAbs to induce HIV-1 remission, either alone or in combination with latency reversing agents, therapeutic vaccines, or other novel therapeutics. Ongoing human trials aimed at HIV therapy or remission are utilizing the following antibodies, alone or in combination: VRC01, VRC01-LS, VRC07-523-LS, 3BNC117, 10-1074, 10-1074-LS, PGT121, PGDM1400, 10E8.4-iMab, and SAR441236 (trispecific VRC01/PGDM1400-10E8v4). Ongoing non-human primate studies aimed to target, control, or potentially eliminate the viral reservoir are utilizing the following antibodies, alone or in combination: 3BNC117, 10-1074, N6-LS, PGT121, and the GS9721 variant of PGT121. Hsu2021 (immunotherapy, review)
VRC01: A series of mutants was produced in the CAP256-VRC26.25 heavy chain, for the purpose of avoiding the previously-identified proteolytic cleavage at position K100m. Neutralization of the mutants was tested, and the cleavage-resistant variant that showed the greatest potency was K100mA. In addition to the K100mA mutation, an LS mutation was added to the Fc portion of the heavy chain, as this change has been shown to improve the half-life of antibodies used for passive administration without affecting neutralization potency. The resulting construct was named CAP256V2LS. The pharmacokinetics of CAP256V2LS were assessed in macaques and mice, and it showed a profile similar to other antibodies used for immunotherapy. The antibody lacked autoreactivity. Structural analysis of wild-type CAP256-VRC26.25 showed that the K100m residue is not involved in interaction with the Env trimer. Previously-published neutralization data for VRC01 and VRC01-LS were used for comparison purposes. Zhang2022 (neutralization, immunotherapy, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Rabbits were immunized with a DNA vaccine encoding JR-CSF gp120. Five sera with potent autologous neutralizing activity were selected and compared with a human neutralizing plasma (Z23) and monoclonal antibodies targeting various regions of gp120 (VRC01, b12, b6, F425, 2F5, 2G12, and X5). The rabbit sera contained different neutralizing activities dependent on C3 and V5, C3 and V4, or V4 regions of the glycan-rich outer domain of gp120. All sera showed enhanced neutralizing activity toward an Env variant that lacked a glycosylation site in V4. The JR-CSF gp120 epitopes recognized by the sera were distinct from those of the mAbs. The activity of one serum required specific glycans that are also important for 2G12 neutralization, and this serum blocked the binding of 2G12 to gp120. The findings show that different fine specificities can achieve potent neutralization of HIV-1, yet this strong activity does not result in improved breadth. Narayan2013 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
VRC01: The study compared well-characterized nAbs (2G12, b12, VRC01, 10E8, 17b) with 4 mAbs derived from a Japanese patient (4E9C, 49G2, 916B2, 917B11), in their neutralization and ADCC activity against viruses of subtypes B and CRF01. CRF01 viruses were less susceptible to neutralization by 2G12 and b12, while VRC01 was highly effective in neutralizing CRF01 viruses. 49G2 showed better neutralization breadth against CRF01 than against B viruses. CRF01_AE viruses from Japan also showed a slightly higher susceptibility to anti-CD4i Ab 4E9C than the subtype B viruses, and to CRF01_AE viruses from Vietnam. Neutralization breadth of other anti-CD4i Abs 17b, 916B2 and 917B11 was low against both subtype B and CRF01_AE viruses. Anti-CD4bs Ab 49G2, which neutralized only 22% of the viruses, showed the broadest coverage of Fc-mediated signaling activity against the same panel of Env clones among the Abs tested. The CRF01_AE viruses from Japan were more susceptible to 49G2-mediated neutralization than the CRF01_AE viruses from Vietnam, but Fc-mediated signaling activity of 49G2was broader and stronger in the CRF01_AE viruses from Vietnam than the CRF01_AE viruses from Japan.

VRC01: An R5 virus isolated from chronic patient NAB01 (Patient Record# 4723) was adapted in culture to growth in the presence of target cells expressing reduced levels of CD4. Entry kinetics of the virus were altered, and these alterations resulted in extended exposure of CD4-induced neutralization-sensitive epitopes to CD4. Adapted and control viruses were assayed for their neutralization by a panel of neutralizing antibodies targeting several different regions of Env (PGT121, PGT128, 1-79, 447-52d, b6, b12, VRC01, 17b, 4E10, 2F5, Z13e1). Adapted viruses showed greater sensitivity to antibodies targeting the CD4 binding site and the V3 loop. This evolution of Env resulted in increased CD4 affinity but decreased viral fitness, a phenomenon seen also in the immune-privileged CNS, particularly in macrophages.

VRC01: The Chinese HIV Reference Laboratory produced 124 pseudoviruses from patients with subype B, BC, and CRF01 infections. These viruses were assigned to tiers based on their neutralization by a panel of patient sera. Their neutralization sensitivities were also measured against a panel of well-characterized mAbs (2F5, b12, 2G12, 4E10, 10E8, VRC01, VRC-CH31, CH01, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT126). Nie2020 (assay or method development, neutralization)
VRC01: In 8 ART-treated patients, latent viruses were induced by a viral outgrowth assay and assayed for their sensitivity to neutralization by 8 broadly neutralizing antibodies (VRC01, VRC07-523, 3BNC117, PGT121, 10-1074, PGDM1400, VRC26.25, 10E8v4-V5F-100cF). The patients' inducible reservoir of autologous viruses was generally refractory to neutralization, and higher Env diversity correlated with greater resistance to neutralization. Wilson2021 (autologous responses, neutralization, HIV reservoir/latency/provirus)
VRC01: Extensive structural and biochemical analyses demonstrated that PGT145 achieves recognition and neutralization by targeting quaternary structure of the cationic trimer apex with long and unusually stabilized anionic β-hairpin HCDR3 loops. In BG505.Env.C2 alanine-scanning neutralization assays, VRC01 had more similar results to hammerhead-class antibodies PG9 & CH01 than to PGT145-like antibodies. Lee2017 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
VRC01: Novel Env pseudoviruses were derived from 22 patients in China infected with subtype CRF01_AE viruses. Neutralization IC50 was determined for 11 bNAbs: VRC01, NIH45-46G54W, 3BNC117, PG9, PG16, 2G12, PGT121, 10-1074, 2F5, 4E10, and 10E8. The CRF01_AE pseudoviruses exhibited different susceptibility to these bNAbs. Overall, 4E10, 10E8, and 3BNC117 neutralized all 22 env-pseudotyped viruses, followed by NIH45-46G54W and VRC01, which neutralized more than 90% of the viruses. 2F5, PG9, and PG16 showed only moderate breadth, while the other three bNAbs neutralized none of these pseudoviruses. Specifically, 10E8, NIH45-46G54Wand 3BNC117 showed the highest efficiency, combining neutralization potency and breadth. Mutations at position 160, 169, 171 were associated with resistance to PG9 and PG16, while loss of a potential glycan at position 332 conferred insensitivity to V3-glycan-targeting bNAbs. These results may help in choosing bNAbs that can be used preferentially for prophylactic or therapeutic approaches in China. Wang2018a (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
VRC01: A novel CD4bs bNAb, 1-18, is identified with breadth (97% against a 119-strain multiclade panel) and potency exceeding (IC₅₀ = 0.048 µg/mL) most V_H1-46 and V_H1-2 class bNAbs like 3BNC117, VRC01, N6, 8ANC131, 10-1074, PGT151, PGT121, 8ANC195, PG16 and PGDM1400. 1-18 effectively restricts viral escape better than bNAbs 3BNC117 and VRC01. While 1-18 targets the CD4bs like VRC01-like Abs, it recognizes the epitope differently. Neutralizing activity against VRC01 Ab-class escapes is maintained by 1-18. In humanized mice infected by strain 1_YU2, viral suppression is also maintained by 1-18. V_H1-46-derived B cell clone 4.1 from patient IDC561 produced potent, broadly active Abs. Subclone 4.1 is characterized by a 6 aa CDRH1 insertion lengthening it from 8 to 14 aa. and produces bNAbs 1-18 and 1-55. Cryo-EM at 2.5A of 1-18 in complex with BG505_SOSIP.664 suggests their insertion increases inter-protomer contacts by a negatively charged DDDPYTDDD motif, resulting in an enlargement of the buried surface on HIV-1 gp120. Variations in glycosylation is thought to confer higher neutralizing activity on 1-18 over 1-55.

VRC01: Soluble versions of HIV-1 Env trimers (sgp140 SOSIP.664) stabilized by a gp120-gp41 disulfide bond and a change (I559P) in gp41 have been structurally characterized. Cross-linking/mass spectrometry to evaluate the conformations of functional membrane Env and sgp140 SOSIP.664 has been reported. Differences were detected in the gp120 trimer association domain and C terminus and in the gp41 HR1 region which can guide the improvement of Env glycoprotein preparations and potentially increasing their effectiveness as a vaccine. VRC01 broadly neutralized HIV-1AD8 full-length and cytoplasmic tail-deleted Envs. Castillo-Menendez2019 (vaccine antigen design, structure)
VRC01: In an attempt to engage appropriate germline B cells that give rise to bNAbs, a combination of Env glycan modifications that permit far greater neutralization potency by near germline forms of multiple VRC01-class bNAbs were tested. The authors assessed CD4bs bNAbs for neutralizing activity against of Env-pseudotyped viruses (EPV) that were either Man5-enrichment and/or had targeted glycan deletion and concluded that neutralization by germline-reverted forms of VRC01-class bNAbs requires a combination of both Man5-enrichment and glycan deletion. In particular, Man5-enrichment increased the sensitivity of 426c by 8–12 fold when assayed with mature VRC01, 3BNC117, VRC-CH31 and CH103, and this sensitivity increased further by targeted glycan deletion. Furthermore, Man5-enrichment increased the sensitivity of subtype C transmitted-founder 426c EPV that lacked glycan N276, and those that lacked two glycans at N460 and N463, to mature VRC01 by ˜10-fold. LaBranche2018 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
VRC01: Expanding on previous work aimed at understanding the germline VRC01-class antibody-recognition potential of the previously described 426c Env, the authors characterize the crystal structure, binding and contacts to the germline VRC01 of two C Env constructs: the previously described soluble trimeric 426c SOSIP with three NLGSs removed at positions Asn276, Asn460, and Asn463; and a monomeric 426c core containing all wild-type NLGSs (including those at positions Asn276, Asn460, and Asn463), but lacking variable loops 1, 2, and 3. The authors test and characterize various glycan-deleted combinations and NLGS backbones and demonstrate that germline VRC01 could bind to a 426c core construct in the presence of all naturally occurring NLGSs surrounding the CD4BS, including the NLGS at position Asn276 and with its associated glycan. Borst2018 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
VRC01: Lipid-based nanoparticles for the multivalent display of trimers have been shown to enhance humoral responses to trimer immunogens in the context of HIV vaccine development. After immunization with soluble MD39 SOSIP trimers (a stabilized version of BG505), trimer-conjugated liposomes improved both germinal center B cell and trimer-specific T follicular helper cell responses. In particular, MD39-liposomes showed high levels of binding by bNAbs such as V3 glycan specific PGT121, V1/V2 glycan specific PGT145, gp120/gp41 interface specific PGT151, CD4 binding site specific VRC01, and showed minimal binding by non-NAbs like CD4 binding site specific B6, and V3 specific 4025 or 39F. Tokatlian2018 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity)
VRC01: Without SOSIP changes, cleaved Env trimers disintegrate into their gp120 and gp41-ectodomain (gp41_ECTO) components. This study demonstrates that the gp41_ECTO component is the primary source of this Env metastability and that replacing wild-type gp41_ECTO with BG505 gp41_ECTO of the uncleaved prefusion-optimized design is a general and effective strategy for trimer stabilization. A panel of 11 bNAbs, including the CD4-binding site (CD4bs) recognized by VRC01 and b12, was used to assess conserved neutralizing epitopes on the trimer surface, and the main result was that the substitution was found to significantly improve trimer binding to bNAbs VRC01, PGT151, and 35O22, with P values (paired t test) of 0.0229, 0.0269, and 0.0407, respectively. He2018 (antibody interactions, glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: To reduce local V2 flexibility and improve the binding of V2-dependent bNAbs and germline precursor bNAbs, the authors designed BG505 SOSIP.664 trimer variants whose V1 and V2 domains were stabilized by introducing disulfide bonds either within the V2 loop or between the V1 and V2 loops. The resulting SOSIP trimer variants — E153C/K178C, E153C/K178C/G152E and I184C/E190C — have improved reactivity with V2 bNAbs and their inferred germline precursors and are more sensitive to neutralization by V2 bNAbs. Compared with BG505 SOSIP.664, the E153C/R178C V1-V2 disulfide mutant bound the VRC01, PGT151, and 2G12 slightly less well and the G152E compensatory mutation improved VRC01, PGT151, and 2G12 binding. However, there was no change in sensitivity to VRC01 for either mutant virus E153C/K178C/G152E and I184C/E190C. deTaeye2019 (antibody interactions, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, structure, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: This study looks at the role of somatic mutations within antibody variable and framework regions (FWR) in bNAbs and how these mutations alter thermostability and neutralization as the Ab lineage reaches maturation. The emergence and selection of different mutations in the complementarity-determining and framework regions are necessary to maintain a balance between antibody function and stability. The study shows that all major classes of bnAbs (DH2070, CH103, CH235 etc.) have lower thermostability than their corresponding inferred UCA antibodies. Henderson2019 (neutralization, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: The authors used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to define the structure of the HIV-1 MPER when linked to the transmembrane domain (MPER-TMD) in the context of a lipid bilayer. In particular, they looked at the accessibility of the MPER-TMD to 2F5, 4E10, 10E8 and DH570. The MPER appears to be accessible up to ∼10% of the time to the 2F5, 4E10, and 10E8 Fabs but ∼40% of time to the DH570 Fab. To assess possible functional roles for the MPER in membrane fusion, they generated 17 Env mutants using the sequence of a clade A isolate, 92UG037.8, mutating each of the three structural elements: hydrophobic core, turn, and kink. Mutants W670A (hydrophobic core), F673A (turn), and W680A (kink), while still sensitive to VRC01, became much more resistant to the trimer-specific bNAbs and also gained sensitivity to b6, 3791, and 17b. All mutants with changes at W666 in the hydrophobic core and K683 at the kink lost infectivity almost completely. For the rest of the mutants, infectivity ranged from 4.3 to 50.8% of that of the wild type, showing that key residues important for stabilizing the MPER structure are also critical for Env-induced membrane fusion activity, especially in the context of viral infection.

VRC01: Two HIV-1-infected individuals, VC10014 and VC20013, were monitored from early infection until well after they had developed broadly neutralizing activity. The bNAb activity developed about 1 year after infection and mapped to a single epitope in both subjects. Isolates from each subject, taken at five different time points, were tested against monoclonal bNAbs: VRC01, B12, 2G12, PG9, PG16, 4E10, and 2F5. In subject VC10014, the bNAb activity developed around 1 year postinfection and targeted an epitope that overlaps the CD4-BS and is similar to (but distinct from) bNAb HJ16. In the case of VC20013, the bNAb activity targeted a novel epitope in the MPER that is critically dependent on residue 677 (mutation K677N). All of the isolates from subject VC20013 were very susceptible to bNAbs that target the CD4 binding site (CD4-BS), including b12 and VRC01. Sather2014 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: This study demonstrated that bNAb signatures can be utilized to engineer HIV-1 Env vaccine immunogens eliciting Ab responses with greater neutralization breadth. Data from four large virus panels were used to comprehensively map viral signatures associated with bNAb sensitivity, hypervariable region characteristics, and clade effects. The bNAb signatures defined for the V2 epitope region were then employed to inform immunogen design in a proof-of-concept exploration of signature-based epitope targeted (SET) vaccines. V2 bNAb signature-guided mutations were introduced into Env 459C to create a trivalent vaccine which resulted in increased breadth of NAb responses compared with Env 459C alone. The G458Y signature mutation conferred complete resistance (IC50 > 25 mg/mL) to VRC01 and can neutralize the CH505 TF (IC50 of 0.14mg/mL).VRC01 have reduced breadth and potency against C clade viruses.

VRC01: In vitro neutralization data against 25 subtype A, 100 C, and 20 D pseudoviruses of 8 bNAbs (3BNC117, N6, VRC01, VRC07-523LS, CAP256-VRC26.25, PGDM1400, 10–1074, PGT121) and 2 bispecific Abs under clinical development (10E8-iMAb, 3BNC117-PGT135) was studied to assess the antibodies’ potential to prevent infection by dominant HIV-1 subtypes in sub-Saharan Africa. In vivo protection of these Abs and their 2-Ab combination was predicted using a function of in vitro neutralization based on data from a macaque simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) challenge study. Conclusions were that 1. bNAb combinations outperform individual bNAbs 2. Different bNAb combinations were optimal against different HIV subtypes 3. Bispecific 10E8-iMAb outperformed all combinations and 4. 10E8-iMAb in combination with other conventional Abs was predicted to be the best combination against HIV-infection. Wagh2018 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: A novel antibody, Y498, was derived from donor XJ1981, whose serum had potent and broad neutralization activity. Y498 neutralized 30% of 70 tested HIV-1 isolates and targeted an epitope overlapping the CD4bs of gp120. The neutralization of Y498 was compared to that of 3 other CD4BS antibodies: VRC01, b12, and A16. Sun2017 (antibody generation, neutralization, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: This review summarizes current advances in antibody lineage-based design and epitope-based vaccine design. Antibody lineage-based design is described for VRC01, PGT121 and PG9 antibody classes, and epitope-based vaccine design is described for the CD4-binding site, as well as fusion peptide and glycan-V3 cites of vulnerability.

VRC01: VRC 606 (clinicaltrials.gov NCT02599896) was a single-site Phase I open-label dose-escalation study that evaluated a variant of VRC01, VRC01LS for safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. VRC01LS has mutations M428L and N434S in the Fc region intended to extend serum half-life, these LS mutations result in enhanced IgG-FcRn binding but do not affect binding to the Fc-gamma receptor and thus do not impair Fc-mediated effector functions, such as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). It was observed that VRC01LS was safe and well tolerated and displayed a serum half-life more than four times longer than wild-type VRC01. The VRC01LS Ab retained its neutralizing activity in serum for the 48-week duration of this study, and no Abs were detected to it.

VRC01: This review discusses the identification of super-Abs, where and how such Abs may be best applied, and future directions for the field. VRC01, a prototype super-Ab, was isolated from direct functional screening of thousands of B cell clones. VRC01 is in Phase I clinical development and the Antibody-Mediated Prevention (AMP) study will assess the ability of the VRC01 mAb specific for CD4 binding site to decrease the risk of HIV acquisition in humans. Walker2018 (antibody binding site, review, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: The authors selected an optimal panel of diverse HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins to represent the antigenic diversity of HIV globally in order to be used as antigen candidates. The selection was based on genetic and geographic diversity, and experimentally and computationally evaluated humoral responses. The eligibility of the envelopes as vaccine candidates was evaluated against a panel of antibodies for breadth, affinity, binding and durability of vaccine-elicited responses. The antigen panel was capable of detecting the spectrum of V2-specific antibodies that target epitopes from the V2 strand C (V2p), the integrin binding motif in V2 (V2i), and the quaternary epitope at the apex of the trimer (V2q).

VRC01: Polyreactive properties of natural and artificially engineered HIV-1 bNAbs were studied, with almost 60% of the tested HIV-1 bNAbs (including this one) exhibiting low to high polyreactivity in different immunoassays. A previously unappreciated polyreactive binding for PGT121, PGT128, NIH45-46W, m2, and m7 was reported. Binding affinity, thermodynamic, and molecular dynamics analyses revealed that the co-emergence of enhanced neutralizing capacities and polyreactivity was due to an intrinsic conformational flexibility of the antigen-binding sites of bNAbs, allowing a better accommodation of divergent HIV-1 Env variants. Prigent2018 (antibody polyreactivity)
VRC01: A systems glycobiology approach was applied to reverse engineer the relationship between bNAb binding and glycan effects on Env proteins. Glycan occupancy was interrogated across every potential N-glycan site in 94 recombinant gp120 antigens. Using a Bayesian machine learning algorithm, bNAb-specific glycan footprints were identified and used to design antigens that selectively alter bNAb antigenicity. The novel synthesized antigens uccessfully bound to target bNAbs with enhanced and selective antigenicity. Yu2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: This review discusses current HIV bNAb immunogen design strategies, recent progress made in the development of animal models to evaluate potential vaccine candidates, advances in the technology to analyze antibody responses, and emerging concepts in understanding B cell developmental pathways that may facilitate HIV vaccine design strategies. Andrabi2018 (vaccine antigen design, review)
VRC01: A panel of bnAbs were studied to assess ongoing adaptation of the HIV-1 species to the humoral immunity of the human population. Resistance to neutralization is increasing over time, but concerns only the external glycoprotein gp120, not the MPER, suggesting a high selective pressure on gp120. Almost all the identified major neutralization epitopes of gp120 are affected by this antigenic drift, suggesting that gp120 as a whole has progressively evolved in less than 3 decades. Bouvin-Pley2014 (neutralization)
VRC01: Bispecific bNAbs containing anti-CD4bs VRC01 and anti-V3 glycan PGT121 were constructed by linking the single chain (Sc) bNAbs with flexible (G₄S)_n linkers at IgG F_c and were found to have greater neutralization breadth than parental bNAbs when optimal. The optimal bis-specific NAb, dVRC01-5X-PGT121, was one that crosslinked protomers within one Env spike. Combination of this bispecific with a third bNAb, anti-MPER 10E8, gave 99.5%, i.e. nearly pan-neutralization of a 208 virus panel with a geometric mean IC₅₀ below 0.1 µg/ml. Steinhardt2018 (neutralization, immunotherapy, bispecific/trispecific)
VRC01: The first cryo-EM structure of a cross-linked vaccine antigen was solved. The 4.2 Å structure of HIV-1 BG505 SOSIP soluble recombinant Env in complex with a bNAb PGV04 Fab fragment revealed how cross-linking affects key properties of the trimer. SOSIP and GLA-SOSIP trimers were compared for antigenicity by ELISA, using a large panel of mAbs previously determined to react with BG505 Env. Non-NAbs globally lost reactivity (7-fold median loss of binding), likely because of covalent stabilization of the cross-linked ‘closed’ form of the GLA-SOSIP trimer that binds non-NAbs weakly or not at all. V3-specific non-NAbs showed 2.1–3.3-fold reduced binding. Three autologous rabbit monoclonal NAbs to the N241/N289 ‘glycan-hole’ surface, showed a median ˜1.5-fold reduction in binding. V3 non-NAb 4025 showed residual binding to the GLA-SOSIP trimer. By contrast, bNAbs like VRC01 broadly retained reactivity significantly better than non-NAbs, with exception of PGT145 (3.3-5.3 fold loss of binding in ELISA and SPR). Schiffner2018 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
VRC01: This study describes the generation of CHO cell lines stably expressing the following vaccine Env Ags: CRF01_AE A244 Env gp120 protein (A244.AE) and 6240 Env gp120 protein (6240.B). The antigenic profiles of the molecules were assessed with a panel of well-characterized mAbs recognizing critical epitopes and glycosylation analysis confirming previously identified sites and revealing unknown sites at non-consensus motifs. A244.AE gp120 bound to VRC01 in ELISA EC50 and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays. 6240.B gp120 bound to VRC01. 6240.B gp120 exhibited binding to VRC01. Wen2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: The prophylactic and therapeutic potential of an engineered single gene–encoded tandem bispecific immunoadhesin (IA) molecule BiIA-SG was studied. Before engineering BiIAs, codon-optimized scFvs of bNAbs PG9, PG16, PGT128, VRC01, and Hu5A8 were synthesized. The VL/VH domain of each scFv was engineered as a corresponding IA by fusion with human IgG1-Fc to generate IA-PG9, IA-PG16, IA-PGT128, IA-VRC01, and IA-Hu5A8. While all IAs exhibited specific anti–HIV-1 activity, only IA-PGT128 displayed similar potency and the same sigmoidal slope of 100% neutralization as previously described for the native PGT128, and IA-PGT128 in combination with IA-Hu5A8 exhibited the best synergistic effect based on computational synergy volumes. IA-PGT128 and IA-Hu5A8 were therefore used for BiIA construction. Wu2018
VRC01: Prevention of HIV infection by intravenously-administered VRC01 was modeled to predict prevention efficacy (PE) of each 10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg VRC01 dose. Nonhuman primates (NHPs) were administered high-dose intra-rectal simian-human immunodeficiency virus challenge two days post-VRC01 infusion (“NHP model”). As humans may require greater VRC01 concentration to achieve the same level of protection, it was assumed that 5-fold greater VRC01 serum concentration would be needed to provide the same level of per-exposure PE as seen in the NHP data (“5-fold model”). For the 10 mg/kg regimen, the 5-fold and NHP models predict an overall PE of 37% and 64%, respectively; for the 30 mg/kg regimen, the two models predict an overall PE of 53% and 82%, respectively. Huang2018 (immunoprophylaxis)
VRC01: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. VRC01 is autoreactive, but not polyreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
VRC01: This study was designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacological profile, and immune functions of VRC01 administered either subcutaneously or intravenously as a foundation for future efficacy trials. HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) 104 was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of VRC01. Eighty-eight healthy, HIV-uninfected, low-risk participants were enrolled in 6 United States clinical research sites affiliated with the HVTN between September 9, 2014 and July 15, 2015. Participants were randomized to receive the following: a 40 mg/kg IV VRC01 loading dose followed by five 20 mg/kg IV VRC01 doses every 4 weeks (treatment group 1 [T1], n = 20); eleven 5 mg/kg subcutaneous (SC) VRC01 (treatment group 3 [T3], n = 20); placebo (placebo group 3 [P3], n = 4)doses every 2 weeks; or three 40 mg/kg IV VRC01 doses every 8 weeks (treatment group 2 [T2], n = 20). Treatment groups T4 and T5 (n = 12 each) received three 10 or 30 mg/kg IV VRC01 doses every 8 weeks, respectively. Participants were followed for 32 weeks after their first VRC01 administration and received a total of 249 IV infusions and 208 SC injections, with no serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, nor evidence for anti-VRC01 antibodies observed. The limitations of this study include the relatively small sample size of each VRC01 administration regimen and missing data from participants who were unable to complete all study visits. The antibody in serum after administration showed evidence of a number of immune functions that are known to inhibit HIV transmission and replication. Mayer2017 (immunoprophylaxis, immunotherapy)
VRC01: Panels of C clade pseudoviruses were computationally downselected from the panel of 200 C clade viruses defined by Rademeyer et al. 2016. A 12-virus panel was defined for the purpose of screening sera from vaccinees. Panels of 50 and 100 viruses were defined as smaller sets for use in testing magnitude and breadth against C clade. Published neutralization data for 16 mAbs was taken from CATNAP for the computational selections: 10-1074, 10-1074V, PGT121, PGT128, VRC26.25, VRC26.08, PGDM1400, PG9, PGT145, VRC07-523, 10E8, VRC13, 3BNC117, VRC07, VRC01, 4E10.

VRC01: This study reports host tolerance mechanisms that limit the development of CD4bs and HCDR3-binder bNAbs via sequential HIV-1 Env vaccination. Vaccine-induced macaque CD4bs bnAbs recognize open Env trimers, and accumulate relatively modest somatic mutations. In naive CD4bs, unmutated common ancestor knock-in mice Env + B cell clones develop anergy and partial deletion at the transitional to mature B cell stage, but become Env- upon receptor editing. Stepwise immunization initiates CD4bs-bnAb responses, but immune tolerance mechanisms restrict their development. Crystal structure of DH522 showed footprints of VRC01 and CD4 attachment inhibitor N-(4-bromophenyl)-N′-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)ethanediamide (NBD-557).

VRC01: The immunologic effects of mutations in the Env cytoplasmic tail (CT) that included increased surface expression were explored using a vaccinia prime/protein boost protocol in mice. After vaccinia primes, CT- modified Envs induced up to 7-fold higher gp120-specific IgG, and after gp120 protein boosts, they elicited up to 16-fold greater Tier-1 HIV-1 neutralizing antibody titers. Envs with or without the TM1 mutations were expressed in HEK 293T cells and analyzed for the relative expression of Ab epitopes including the CD4 binding site for VRC01.

VRC01: The HIV Vaccine Trials Network and the HIV Prevention Trials Network conducted the first clinical test-of-concept, Antibody Mediated Prevention (AMP) trials to assess whether, and how, intravenous infusion of VRC01, prevents HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 prevention efficacy trials were conducted in two cohorts: 2700 HIV-uninfected men and transgender persons who have sex with men in the United States, Peru, Brazil, and Switzerland; and 1500 HIV-uninfected sexually active women in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants were randomized 1:1:1 to receive an intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg VRC01, 30 mg/kg VRC01, or a control preparation every 8 weeks for a total of 10 infusions. Each trial wasdesigned (1) to assess overall prevention efficacy (PE) pooled over the two VRC01 dose groups vs. control and (2) to assess VRC01 dose and laboratory markers as correlates of protection (CoPs) against overall and genotype- and phenotype-specific infection. Each AMP trial was designed to have 90% power to detect PE > 0% if PE is ≥ 60%. If affirmative, they will provide information for estimating the optimal dosage of VRC01 (or subsequent derivatives) and identify threshold levels of neutralization and Fc effector functions associated with high-level protection.

VRC01: SOSIP.664 trimer was modified at V3 positions 306 and 308 by Leucine substitution to create hydrophobic interactions with the tryptophan residue at position 316 and the V1V2 domain. These modifications stabilized the resulting SOSIP.v5.2 S306L R308L trimers. In vivo, the induction of V3 non-NAbs was significantly reduced compared with the SOSIP.v5.2 trimers. S306L plus R308L paired substitutions had no effect on the trimer reactivity of VRC01. deTaeye2018 (broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Nanodiscs (discoidal lipid bilayer particles of 10-17 nm surrounded by membrane scaffold protein) were used to incorporate Env complexes for the purpose of vaccine platform generation. The Env-NDs (Env-NDs) were characterized for antigenicity and stability by non-NAbs and NAbs. Most NAb epitopes in gp41 MPER and in the gp120:gp41 interface were well exposed while non-NAb cell surface epitopes were generally masked. Anti-CD4bs NAb VRC01, had a Kd of 14.6 nM and bound the Env-ND well. Witt2017 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity)
VRC01: In the RV305 HIV-1 vaccine trial, two boosts of either ALVAC-HIV, AIDSVAX B/E gp120 or ALVAC-HIV + AIDSVAX B/E gp120 were given to HIV-1-uninfected RV144 vaccine-recipients. While no bNAb plasma activity was induced in this trial as well, an increased frequency of memory B cells that produce Env-specific anti-CD4bs antibodies with long HCDR3s was detected. In a binding assay, VRC01 binding was reduced by mutants of CRF01_AE Env protein A244. Easterhoff2017 (binding affinity)
VRC01: The DS-SOSIP.4mut is a soluble, closed pre-fusion-state HIV-1 Env trimer that has improved stability and immunogenicity. It has 4 specific alterations at M154, M300, M302 and L320. VRC01 recognizes this trimer. Chuang2017 (antibody interactions)
VRC01: Libraries of BG505 gp120 containing mutations were displayed on yeast and screened for binding to a panel of VRC01-class mAbs. Boosted VRC01 gH mice showed broad neutralization on a panel of N276A viruses, neutralization of fully native virus containing the N276 glycan site was limited to a single heterologous tier 2 isolate and was substantially less potent. The progress of vaccine-induced somatic hyper mutation, SHM, toward mature VRC01 was tested. For each VH1-2 sequence, the total number of amino-acid mutations and the number of amino-acid mutations shared with a panel of VRC01-class mAbs like VRC01, PGV04, PGV20, VRC-CH31, 3BNC60, and 12A12 were determined. Extremely deep Ab repertoire sequencing on two healthy HIV-naive individuals were performed to compute the frequency of randomly incorporated VRC01-class mutations in human VH1-2 Ab sequence. Briney2016 (HIV-2, neutralization, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: Env variants that lack all 15 core glycan sites were produced. These variants retain conformational integrity and viral infectivity and bind to several bNAbs, including VRC01 and b12, suggesting that Env glycans are not essential to protein folding, and deglycosylated antigens may be useful as priming immunogens. A partially germline-reverted variant of VRC01 (GL-VRC01) was produced to compare its binding to that of VRC01. Rathore2017 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: Env trimers were engineered with selective deglycosylation around the CD4 binding site to see if they could be useful vaccine antigens. The neutralization of glycan-deleted trimers was tested for a set of bnAbs (PG9, PGT122, PGT135, b12, CH103, HJ16, VRC01, VRC13, PGT151, 8ANC195, 35O22), and the antigens elicited potent neutralization based on the CD4 supersite. A crystal structure was made of one of these Env trimers bound to Fabs 35O22 and 3H+109L. Guinea pigs vaccinated with these antigens achieved neutralization of deglycosylated Envs. Glycan-deleted Env trimers may be useful as priming antigens to increase the frequency of CD4 site-directed antibodies. Zhou2017 (glycosylation, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses)
VRC01: Env from of a highly neutralization-resistant isolate, CH120.6, was shown to be very stable and conformationally-homogeneous. Its gp140 trimer retains many antigenic properties of the intact Env, while its monomeric gp120 exposes more epitopes. Thus trimer organization and stability are important determinants for occluding epitopes and conferring resistance to antibodies. Among a panel of 21 mAbs, CH120.6 was resistant to neutralization by all non-neutralizing and strain-specific mAbs, regardless of the location of their epitopes. It was weakly neutralized by several broadly-neutralizing mAbs (VRC01, NIH45-46, 12A12, PG9, PG16, PGT128, 4E10, and 10E8), and well neutralized by only 2 (PGT145 and 10-1074). Cai2017 (neutralization)
VRC01: Mice twice-primed with DNA plasmids encoding HIV-1 gp120 and gag and given a double boost with HIV-1 virus-like particles (VLPs) i.e. DDVV immunization, elicited Env-specific antibody responses as well as Env- and Gag-specific CTL responses. In vivo electroporation (EP) was used to increase breadth and potency of response. Human anti-gp120 VRC01 was used to prove that the VLP spike included the broad neutralization epitope recognized by it. Huang2017a (therapeutic vaccine, variant cross-reactivity)
VRC01: This review discusses host controls of bNAb responses and why highly antigenic vaccine Envs do not induce bNAbs when used as vaccine immunogens. In Kl mice expressing 3BNC60 germline unmutated common ancestor (UCA), majority of te none marrow B cell were deleted, and peripheral residual B cells were anergic. Vaccination resulted in GL B cells activated with minimal affinity maruration. Kelsoe2017 (review)
VRC01: A panel of mAbs (2G12, VRC01, HJ16, 2F5, 4E10, 35O22, PG9, PGT121, PGT126, 10-1074) was tested to compare their efficacy in cell-free versus cell-cell transmission. Almost all bNAbs (with the exception of anti-CD4 mAb Leu3a) blocked cell-free infection with greater potency than cell-cell infection, and showed greater potency in neutralization of cell-free viruses. The lower effectiveness on neutralization was particularly pronounced for transmitted/founder viruses, and less pronounced for chronic and lab-adapted viruses. The study highlights that the ability of an antibody to inhibit cell-cell transmission may be an important consideration in the development of Abs for prophylaxis. Li2017 (immunoprophylaxis, neutralization)
VRC01: Compared to patient-derived mAbs, vaccine-elicited mAbs are often less able to neutralize the virus, due to a less-effective angle of approach to the Env spike. This study engineered an immunogen consisting of the gp120 core in complex with a CD4bs mAb, 17b. Rabbits immunized with this antigen displayed earlier affinity maturation and better virus neutralization compared to those immunized with the gp120 core alone. The 17b antibody was shown to have a steric clash with two other CD4bs Abs, GE136 and GE148, but not with VRC01. VRC01 and 2G12 bound to the the 17b-gp120 complex more avidly than to the gp120 core alone. Chen2016b (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, structure)
VRC01: This study describes a computational method to calculate the binding affinities of antibodies and antigens. The method called free-energy perturbation (FEP) was developed using HIV-1 Env gp120 and 3 VRC01-class mAbs, VRC01, VRC03, and VRC-PG04. Clark2017 (binding affinity, structure)
VRC01: The next generation of a computational neutralization fingerprinting (NFP) being used as a way to predict polyclonal Ab responses to HIV infection is presented. A new panel of 20 pseudoviruses, termed f61, was developed to aid in the assessment of experimental neutralization. This panel was used to assess 22 well-characterized bNAbs and mixtures thereof (HJ16, VRC01, 8ANC195, IGg1b12, PGT121, PGT128, PGT135, PG9, PGT151, 35O22, 10E8, 2F5, 4E10, VRC27, VRC-CH31, VRC-PG20, PG04, VRC23, 12A12, 3BNC117, PGT145, CH01). The new algorithms accurately predicted VRC01-like and PG9-like antibody specificities. Doria-Rose2017 (neutralization, computational epitope prediction)
VRC01: This review focuses on the potential role of HIV-1-specific NAbs in preventing HIV-1 infection. Several NAbs have provided protection from infection in SHIV challenge studies in primates: b12, VRC01, VRC07-523LS, 3BNC117, PG9, PGT121, PGT126, 10-1074, 2G12, 4E10, 2F5, 10E8. Engineered variant VRC01-LS had greater persistence and improved protection against SHIV challenge, compared to VRC01. Pegu2017 (immunoprophylaxis, review)
VRC01: Prevalence, breadth, and potency of NAb responses in 98 CRF07_BC-infected individuals using a multi-subtype panel of 30 tier 2-3 Env-pseudotyped viruses were identified and the neutralization pattern of CRF07_BC-infected people was compared with that of subtype B'-infected individuals in China. 18% of 98 plasma samples neutralized >80% of viruses, and 53% neutralized >50%, suggesting the presence of broadly NAbs. CRF07_BC-infected individuals generated higher but less broad neutralization titers against intra-subtype viruses than subtype B'-infected individuals with longer infection length, indicating the transition from narrow autologous to broad heterologous neutralization over time. Neutralization activity of the top six plasmas from each cohort was attributable to the IgG fraction, and half of them developed CD4 binding site antibody reactivity. VRC01 and 2G12 were used as controls. Hu2017 (broad neutralizer)
VRC01: First population pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis of VRC01 was conducted using 84 HIV-uninfected adults who received multiple-dose intravenous or subcutaneous VRC01 every several weeks. The study demonstrated that a robust PK model of VRC01 could be developed to reliably characterize the observed PK data and to estimate VRC01 concentration values and associated variabilities at any post-dose time-point. Huang2017 (immunoprophylaxis)
VRC01: Novel bNAb, IOMA, combines features of VH_1-2/VRC01-class bNAbs with CD4-mimetic CD4bs bNAbs. It is described in complex to BG505 SOSIP.664 Env trimer by 3.5A and 3.9A-resolution crystal structures. The IOMA-BG505 structure demonstrates that VH1-2*02-derived CD4-mimetic bNAbs are not limited to longer, five-residue CDRL3s as in the case of VRC01. This is the first full description of native glycosylated trimer (untrimmed high-mannose and complex-typle N-glycans) revealing Ab-vulnerable glycan holes. Though derived from VRC01, the shorter CDRL3 makes IOMA resemble am 8ANC131-class/VH1-46-derived CD4bs bNAb. Gristick2016 (glycosylation)
VRC01: This review summarizes vaccine approaches to counter HIV diversity. A structural map illustrated the contact regions of several bNAbs: VRC26.09, PGT128, CH235.12, and 10E8. Structures illustrating the bNAbs' tolerance for sequence variation were illustrated for CH235.12, PGT128, VRC26.09, and 10E8. CD4BS bNAbs such as VRC01 and CH235.12 illustrate that bNAbs bind to both conserved and hypervariable regions of Env. These bNAbs aren't broad because their epitopes are highly conserved, but rather they arise due to selective pressures of the autologous viruses. Korber2017 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, review)
VRC01: In 33 individuals (14 uninfected and 19 HIV-1-infected), intravenous infusion of 10-1074 was well tolerated. In infected individuals with sensitive strains, 10-1074 decreased viremia, but escape variants and viral rebound occurred within a few weeks. Escape variants were also resistant to V3 antibody PGT121, but remained sensitive to antibodies targeting other epitopes (3BNC117, VRC01 or PGDM1400). Loss of the PNGS at position N332 or 324G(D/N)IR327 mutation was associated with resistance to 10-1074 and PGT121. Caskey2017 (escape, immunotherapy)
VRC01: The results confirm that Nef and Vpu protect HIV-1-infected cells from ADCC, but also show that not all classes of antibody can mediate ADCC. Anti-cluster-A antibodies are able to mediate potent ADCC responses, whereas anti-coreceptor binding site antibodies are not. Position 69 in gp120 is important for antibody-mediated cellular toxicity by anti-cluster-A antibodies. The angle of approach of a given class of antibodies could impact its capacity to mediate ADCC. VRC01 and b12 were selected as Abs that recognize the CD4 binding site. Ding2015 (ADCC)
VRC01: The ability of neutralizing and nonneutralizing mAbs to block infection in models of mucosal transmission was tested. Neutralization potency did not fully predict activity in mucosal tissue. CD4bs-specific bNAbs, in particular VRC01, blocked HIV-1 infection across all cellular and tissue models. MPER (2F5) and outer domain glycan (2G12) bNAbs were also efficient in preventing infection of mucosal tissues, while bNAbs targeting V1-V2 glycans (PG9 and PG16) were more variable. Non-nAbs alone and in combinations, were poorly protective against mucosal infection. The protection provided by specific bNAbs demonstrates their potential over that of nonneutralizing antibodies for preventing mucosal entry. VRC01, b12, and CH31 were selected as representative mAbs of the CD4-BS class. Cheeseman2017 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunoprophylaxis)
VRC01: To understand HIV neutralization mediated by the MPER, antibodies and viruses were studied from CAP206, a patient known to produce MPER-targeted neutralizing mAbs. 41 human mAbs were isolated from CAP206 at various timepoints after infection, and 4 macaque mAbs were isolated from animals immunized with CAP206 Env proteins. Two rare, naturally-occuring single-residue changes in Env were identified in transmitted/founder viruses (W680G in CAP206 T/F and Y681D in CH505 T/F) that made the viruses less resistant to neutralization. The results point to the role of the MPER in mediating the closed trimer state, and hence the neutralization resistance of HIV. CH58 was one of several mAbs tested for neutralization of transmitted founder viruses isolated from clade C infected individuals CAP206 and CH505, compared to T/F viruses containing MPER mutations that confer enhanced neutralization sensitivity. Bradley2016a (neutralization)
VRC01: A novel MHC-independent third-generation anti-HIV-1 CAR molecule (CD3ζ-CD28-CD137) has been reported.The extracellular domain is consisted of an scFv region derived from the bNAb VRC01 capable of redirecting the antigen specificity of primary CD8+ T cell populations against gp120. CAR cytoplasmic region, composed of a CD3ζ chain and multiple signaling domains (CD28 and CD137). The VC-CAR-T cells, were able to induce T cell-mediated cytolysis after coculture with gp120-expressing cells and wild-type HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells. This also effectively induced the cytolysis of LRA-reactivated HIV-1-infected CD4 T lymphocytes isolated from infected individuals receiving sup-pressive cART. The data demonstrates that the special features of genetically engineered CAR-T cells make them a particularly suitable candidate for therapeutic application and constitute an improvement over existing CD4-based CAR-T technology. Liu2016 (CD4+ CTL, immunotherapy)
VRC01: This study performed cyclical permutation of the V1 loop of JRFL in order to develop better gp120 trimers to elicit neutralizing antibodies. Some mutated trimers showed improved binding to several mAbs, including VRC01, VRC03, VRC-PG04, PGT128, PGT145, PGDM1400, b6, and F105. Guinea pigs immunized with prospective trimers showed improved neutralization of a panel of HIV-1 pseudoviruses. Binding of VRC01 to JRFL was abolished by mutation N279A. Kesavardhana2017 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses)
VRC01: This study investigated the ability of native, membrane-expressed JR-FL Env trimers to elicit NAbs. Rabbits were immunized with virus-like particles (VLPs) expressing trimers (trimer VLP sera) and DNA expressing native Env trimer, followed by a protein boost (DNA trimer sera). N197 glycan- and residue 230- removal conferred sensitivity to Trimer VLP sera and DNA trimer sera respectively, showing for the first time that strain-specific holes in the "glycan fence" can allow the development of tier 2 NAbs to native spikes. All 3 sera neutralized via quaternary epitopes and exploited natural gaps in the glycan defenses of the second conserved region of JR-FL gp120. VRC01 was 1 of 4 reference VRC01-like bNAbs - VRC01, 3BNC117, 8ANC131, CH103. Crooks2015 (glycosylation, neutralization)
VRC01: 24 participants received VRC01 as immunotherapy during ART treatment interruption. VRC01 delayed viral rebound by approximately 4 to 6 weeks. VRC01 exerted pressure on the rebounding virus, resulting in selection for neutralization-resistant viruses. Bar2016 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: Env residue N197 on the BG505-SOSIP trimer was mutated to test the effect of its glycosylation on the binding kinetics of CD4BS and other mAbs. Removal of the glycan had little effect on the overall structure of the molecule. Its removal resulted in increased binding of CD4 and CD4BS antibodies (VRC01, VRC03, V3-3074), but little effect on bNAbs targeting other epitopes (PG9, PG16, PGT145, 17b, A32, 2G12, PGT121, PGT126). Two CD4BS-binding antibodies tested (b12, F105) had insufficient breadth to bind the BG505-SOSIP trimer. Removal of the N197 glycan may allow for the development of better SOSIP immunogens, particularly to elicit CD4BS-specific Abs. Liang2016 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: Chimeric antigen receptors, i.e., fusion proteins made from single-chain antibodies, may be a useful approach to immunotherapy. A set of mAbs were chosen based on their binding to a variety of sites on Env and availability of antibody sequences. The chimeric receptors were created by fusing the antibody's heavy chain, light chain, and two signaling domains into a single molecule. All 7 antibodies used to make the chimeric receptors (10E8, 3BNC117, PGT126, VRC01, X5, PGT128, PG9) showed specific killing of HIV-1 infected cells and suppression of viral replication against a panel of HIV-1 strains. Ali2016 (immunotherapy, chimeric antibody)
VRC01: This review classified and mapped the binding regions of 32 bNAbs isolated 2010-2016. Wu2016 (review)
VRC01: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
VRC01: This study produced Env SOSIP trimers for clades A (strain BG505), B (strain JR-FL), and G (strain X1193). Based on simulations, the MAb-trimer structures of all MAbs tested needed to accommodate at least one glycan, including both antibodies known to require specific glycans (PG9, PGT121, PGT135, 8ANC195, 35O22) and those that bind the CD4-binding site (b12, CH103, HJ16, VRC01, VRC13). A subset of monoclonal antibodies bound to glycan arrays assayed on glass slides (VRC26.09, PGT121, 2G12, PGT128, VRC13, PGT151, 35O22), while most of the antibodies did not have affinity for oligosaccharide in the context of a glycan array (PG9, PGT145, PGDM1400, PGT135, b12, CH103, HJ16, VRC16, VRC01, VRC-PG04, VRC-CH31, VRC-PG20, 3BNC60, 12A12, VRC18b, VRC23, VRC27, 1B2530, 8ANC131, 8ANC134, 8ANC195). Stewart-Jones2016 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, structure)
VRC01: This study assessed the ADCC activity of antibodies of varied binding types, including CD4bs (b6, b12, VRC01, PGV04, 3BNC117), V2 (PG9, PG16), V3 (PGT126, PGT121, 10-1074), oligomannose (2G12), MPER (2F5, 4E10, 10E8), CD4i (17b, X5), C1/C5 (A32, C11), cluster I (240D, F240), and cluster II (98-6, 126-7). ADCC activity was correlated with binding to Env on the surfaces of virus-infected cells. ADCC was correlated with neutralization, but not always for lab-adapted viruses such as HIV-1 NLA-3. vonBredow2016 (ADCC)
VRC01: This review summarizes representative anti-HIV MAbs of the first generation (2G12, b12, 2F5, 4E10) and second generation (PG9, PG16, PGT145, VRC26.09, PGDM1400, PGT121, PGT124, PGT128, PGT135, 10-1074, VRC01, 3BNC117, CH103, PGT151, 35O22, 8ANC195, 10E8). Structures, epitopes, VDJ usage, CDR usage, and degree of somatic hypermutation are compared among these antibodies. The use of SOSIP trimers as immunogens to elicit B-cell responses is discussed. Burton2016 (review, structure)
VRC01: This study estimated intra-lineage longitudinal evolutionary rate changes for the VRC26 and CH103 lineages and compared these to the reported rate changes of the VRC01 lineage. Results confirmed that a decreasing evolutionary rate is common to all three lineages. Sheng2016 (antibody lineage)
VRC01: Two stable homogenous gp140 Env trimer spikes, Clade A 92UG037.8 Env and Clade C C97ZA012 Env, were identified. 293T cells stably transfected with either presented fully functional surface timers, 50% of which were uncleaved. A panel of neutralizing and non-neutralizing Abs were tested for binding to the trimers. Consistent with CD4bs bNAbs, VRC01 bound cell surface tightly whether the trimer contained its C-terminal or not, and was competed out by sCD4. It was able to neutralize the 92UG037.8 HIV-1 isolate. Chen2015 (neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: Factors that independently affect bNAb induction and evolution were identified as viral load, length of untreated infection and viral diversity. Ethnically, black subjects induced bNAbs more than white subjects, but this did not correlate with type of Ab response. Fingerprint analyses of induced bNAbs showed strong subtype-dependency, with subtype B inducing significantly higher levels of CD4bs Abs and non-subtype B inducing V2-glycan specific Abs. Of the 239 bNAb antibody inducers found from 4,484 HIV-1 infected subjects,the top 105 inducers' neutralization fingerprint and epitope specificity was determined by comparison to the following antibodies - PG9, PG16, PGDM1400, PGT145 (V2 glycan); PGT121, PGT128, PGT130 (V3 glycan); VRC01, PGV04 (CD4bs) and PGT151 (interface) and 2F5, 4E10, 10E8 (MPER). Rusert2016 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: PGT145 was used to positively isolate a subtype B Env trimer immunogen, B41 SOSIP.664-D7324, that exists in two conformations, closed and partially open. bNAbs tested against the trimer were able to neutralize the B41 pseudovirus with a wide range of potencies. All tested non-NAbs did not neutralize B41 (IC₅₀ >50µg/ml). CD4bs bNAb, VRC01, was able to neutralize and bind B41 pseudovirus and trimer well. Pugach2015
VRC01: The first generation of HIV trimer soluble immunogens, BG505 SOSIP.664 were tested in a mouse model for generation of nAb to neutralization-resistant circulating HIV strains. No such NAbs were induced, as mouse Abs targeted the bottom of soluble Env trimers, suggesting that the glycan shield of Env trimers is impenetrable to murine B cell receptors and that epitopes at the trimer base should be obscured in immunogen design in order to avoid non-nAb responses. Association and dissociation of known anti-trimer bNAbs (VRC01, PGT121, PGT128, PGT151, PGT135, PG9, 35O22, 3BC315 and PGT145) were found to be far greater than murine generated non-NAbs. Hu2015
VRC01: A comprehensive antigenic map of the cleaved trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 was made by bNAb cross-competition. Epitope clusters at the CD4bs, quaternary V1/V2 glycan, N332-oligomannose patch and new gp120-gp41 interface and their interactions were delineated. Epitope overlap, proximal steric inhibition, allosteric inhibition or reorientation of glycans were seen in Ab cross-competition. Thus bNAb binding to trimers can affect surfaces beyond their epitopes. Among CD4bs binding bNAbs, VRC01 recognizes trimer similarly to CH103, CH106, 3BNC117 and 1NC9, and is inhibited by sCD4. VRC01 enhanced binding of non-NAb 17b. outer domain (OD)-glycan bNAbs, PGT135 and PGT136, though ˜ 5x less efficient binders of trimer, were able to unidirectionally inhibit binding of VRC01, as also other CD4bs bNAbs, 3BNC117, 2BNC60, NIH45-46. Derking2015 (antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
VRC01: Two clade C recombinant Env glycoprotein trimers, DU422 and ZM197M, with native-like structural and antigenic properties involving epitopes for all known classes of bNAbs, were produced and characterized. These Clade C trimers (10-15% of which are in a partially open form) were more like B41 Clade B trimers which have 50-75% trimers in the partially open configuration than like B505 Clade B trimers, almost 100% in the closed, prefusion state. The Clade C trimer ZM197M is strongly reactive to the CD4bs bNAb VRC01 but trimer DU442 and its pseudotyped virus are weakly reactive with VRC01. The structure of a complex of ZM197M SOSIP.664 with VRC01 Fab at 9.6 A by cryo-EM had a 0.96 correlation with the structure of the Clade A trimer. Julien2015 (assay or method development, structure)
VRC01: Env trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 as well as the clade B trimer B41 SOSIP.664 were stabilized using a bifunctional aldehyde (glutaraldehye, GLA) or a heterobifunctional cross-linker, EDC/NHS with modest effects on antigenicity and barely any on biochemistry or structural morphology. ELISA, DSC and SPR were used to test recognition of the trimers by bNAbs, which was preserved and by weakly NAbs or non-NAbs, which was reduced. Cross-linking partially preserves quaternary morphology so that affinity chromatography by positive selection using quaternary epitope-specific bNAabs, and negative selection using non-NAbs, enriched antigenic characteristics of the trimers. Binding of the anti-CD4bs bNAb VRC01 to trimers was minimally affected by trimer cross-linking. Schiffner2016 (assay or method development, binding affinity, structure)
VRC01: HIV-1 escape from the N332-glycan dependent bNAb, PGT135, developed in an elite controller but without change to the PGT135-binding Env epitope itself. Instead an insertion increasing V1 length by up to 21 residues concomitant with an additional 1-3 glycans and 2-4 cysteines shields the epitope from PGT135. The majority of viruses tested developed a 14-fold resistance to PGT135 from month 7 to 11. In contrast no significant difference in neutralization sensitivity was seen between HIV-1 and bNAb VRC01. vandenKerkhof2016 (elite controllers, neutralization, escape)
VRC01: The native-like, engineered trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 induced potent NAbs against conformational epitopes of neutralization-resistant Tier-2 viruses in rabbits and macaques, but induced cross-reactive NAbs against linear V3 epitopes of neutralization-sensitive Tier-1 viruses. A different trimer, B41 SOSIP.664 also induced strong autologous Tier-2 NAb responses in rabbits. Sera from 10/20 BG505 SOSIP.664-D7324 trimer-immunized rabbits were capable of inhibiting VRC01 binding to CD4bs, but gp140-immunized sera could not. 4/4 similarly trimer-immunized macaque sera also inhibited VRC01 binding. Serum inhibition of VRC01-trimer binding significantly correlated with rabbit autologous neutralization of the trimer-equivalent psuedovirus, BG505.T332N. Sanders2015 (antibody generation, neutralization, binding affinity, polyclonal antibodies)
VRC01: A new trimeric immunogen, BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, was developed that bound and activated most known neutralizing antibodies but generally did not bind antibodies lacking neuralizing activity. This highly stable immunogen mimics the Env spike of subtype A transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strain, BG505. Anti-CD4bs bNAb VRC01 neutralized BG505.T332N, the pseudoviral equivalent of the immunogen BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, and was shown to recognize and bind the immunogen too. Sanders2013 (assay or method development, neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: This review discusses the application of bNAbs for HIV treatment and eradication, focusing on bnAbs that target key epitopes, specifically: 2G12, 2F5, 4E10, VRC01, 3BNC117, PGT121, VRC26.08, VRC26.09, PGDM1400, and 10-1074. VRC01 was one of the first CD4bs antibodies identified, and it has been tested in both prophylactic and therapeutic human trials. Stephenson2016 (immunotherapy, review)
VRC01: This paper describes modifications that expand the germ line VRC01-class antibody-recognition potential of the previously described 426c Env. The authors show that an optimized Env immunogen can engage multiple germ line VRC01-class antibodies. McGuire2016 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
VRC01: This review discusses the breakthroughs in understanding of the biology of the transmitted virus, the structure and nature of its envelope trimer, vaccine-induced CD8 T cell control in primates, and host control of bnAb elicitation. Haynes2016 (review)
VRC01: This study described a natural interaction between Abs and mucin protein, especially, MUC16 that is enhanced in chronic HIV infection. Agalactosylated (G0) Abs demonstrated the highest binding to MUC16. Binding of Abs to epithelial cells was diminished following MUC16 knockdown, and the MUC16 N-linked glycans were critical for binding.These point to a novel opportunity to enrich Abs at mucosal sites by targeting Abs to MUC16 through changes in Fc glycosylation, potentially blocking viral movement. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was performed to determine the binding affinity of Fc, Fab, and F(ab)2 of VRC01 to MUC16. They determined the relative percentage of G0, G1, and G2 glycan structures and the enhanced MUC16 binding with VRC01 was linked to higher G0 glycosylation. Gunn2016 (antibody interactions, glycosylation)
VRC01: A panel of Env-specific mAbs was isolated from 6 HIV1-infected lactating women. Antibodies in colostrum may help prevent mucosal infection of the infant, so this study aimed to define milk IgGs for future vaccination strategies to reduce HIV transmission during lactation. Despite the high rate of VH 1-69 usage among colostrum Env specific B cells, it did not correlate with distinct gp120 epitope specificity or function. VRC01 was compared to the newly-derived mAbs; it tested positive in one assay of cross-reactivity with gut bacteria, and positive in one test of autoreactivity. Jeffries2016 (antibody polyreactivity)
VRC01: The study detailed binding kinetics of the interaction between BG505 SOSIP.664 trimer or its variants (gp120 monomer; first study of disulfide-stabilized variant gp120-gp41_ECTO protomer) and several mAbs, both neutralizing (VRC01, PGV04, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT122, PGT123, PGT145, PGT151, 2G12) and non-neutralizing (b6, b12, 14e, 19b, F240). CD4bs-directed VRC01 potently neutralizes BG505.T332N pseudovirus and binds strongly to all 3 antigens with slow dissociation. Yasmeen2014 (antibody binding site, assay or method development)
VRC01: Neutralization breadth in 157 antiretroviral-naive individuals infected for less than 1 year post-infection was studied and compared to a cohort of 170 untreated chronic patients. A range of neutralizing activities was observed with a panel of six recombinant viruses from five different subtypes. Some sera were broadly reactive, predominantly targeting envelope epitopes within the V2 glycan-dependent region. The Env neutralization breadth was positively associated with time post infection. VRC01 has been used as a control in testing CD4 binding site neutralizing specificity of the sera. Sanchez-Merino2016 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
VRC01: This review summarized the novel strategies for HIV vaccine discovery. Multiple therapeutic vaccines have failed in the past, in a non placebo controlled trial, a Tat vaccine demonstrated immune cell restoration, reduction of immune activation, and reduced HIV-1 DNA viral load. bNAbs offer both prevention potential and treatment. In early-phase clinical trials, VRC01 reduced viral load in HIV-1-infected individuals not on HAART. Gray2016 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, HAART, ART, review)
VRC01: A new, current, mostly tier2 panel of 200 C-clade Env-psuedotyped viruses from early (< 100d) infection in southern Africa was used to assess antibody responses to natural infection and to vaccines. Viruses were assayed with bNAbs targeting the V2 glycan (PG9, VRC26.25), the MPER site (4E10), the CD4 binding site (VRC01), and the V3/C3 glycan site (PGT128). For VRC01 (and all other Abs besides PGT128) there was no significant difference in neutralization between pre-seroconversion and post-seroconversion viruses. When viruses from 3 time periods were compared, breadth remained constant, but potency decreased, indicating that the C clade epidemic is becoming increasingly resistant to VRC01. Viruses collected pre-seroconversion were more resistant to neutralization by serum than those post-seroconversion. As the epidemic matured over 13 years, viruses also became more resistant to mAbs tested. Rademeyer2016 (assay or method development, neutralization)
VRC01: Ten mAbs were isolated from a vertically-infected infant BF520 at 15 months of age. Ab BF520.1 neutralized pseudoviruses from clades A, B and C with a breadth of 58%, putting it in the same range as second-generation bNAbs derived from adults, but its potency was lower. BF520.1 was shown to target the base of the V3 loop at the N332 supersite. CD4 bs-binding, second-generation mAb, VRC01 when compared had a geometric mean of IC₅₀=2.13 µg/ml for 11/12 viruses it neutralized at a potency of 92%. The infant-derived antibodies had a lower rate of somatic hypermutation (SHM) and no indels compared to adult-derived anti-V3 mAbs. This study shows that bnAbs can develop without SHM or prolonged affinity maturation. Simonich2016 (neutralization, structure)
VRC01: This study examined the neutralization of group N, O, and P primary isolates of HIV-1 by diverse antibodies. Cross-group neutralization was observed only with the bNAbs targeting the N160 glycan-V1/V2 site. Four group O isolates, 1 group N isolate, and the group P isolates were neutralized by PG9 and/or PG16 or PGT145 at low concentrations. None of the non-M primary isolates were neutralized by bNAbs targeting other regions, except 10E8, which weakly neutralized 2 group N isolates, and 35O22 which neutralized 1 group O isolate. Bispecific bNAbs (PG9-iMab and PG16-iMab) very efficiently neutralized all non-M isolates with IC₅₀ below 1 ug/mL, except for 2 group O strains. Anti-CD4bs bNAb VRC01 was able to neutralize only 1/16 tested non-M primary isolates at an IC₅₀< 10µg/ml, RBF208,M/O at 3.64 µg/ml. Morgand2015 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
VRC01: The neutralization of 14 bnAbs was assayed against a global panel of 12 or 17 Env pseudoviruses. From IC₅₀, IC₈₀, IC₉₀, and IC₉₉ values, the slope of the dose-response curve was calculated. Each class of Ab had a fairly consistent slope. Neutralization breadth was strongly correlated with slope. An IIP (Instantaneous Inhibitory Potential) value was calculated, based on both the slope and IC50, and this value may be predictive of clinical efficacy. VRC01, a CD4bs bnAb belonged to a group with slopes >1. Webb2015 (neutralization)
VRC01: This study evaluated the binding of 15 inferred germline (gl) precursors of bNAbs that are directed to different epitope clusters, to 3 soluble native-like SOSIP.664 Env trimers - BG505, B41 and ZM197M. The trimers bound to some gl precursors, particularly those of V1V2-targeted Abs. These trimers may be useful for designing immunogens able to target gl precursors. CD4bs-binding gl-VRC01 precursor did not bind to any trimers. Sliepen2015 (binding affinity, antibody lineage)
VRC01: This study presented structures of germline-reverted VRC01-class bNAbs alone and complexed with 426c-based gp120 immunogens. Germline bNAb–426c gp120 complexes showed preservation of VRC01-class signature residues and gp120 contacts, but detectably different binding modes compared to mature bNAb-gp120 complexes. It reported that unlike most antibodies, the overall final structures of VRC01 class antibodies are formed before the antibodies mature. NIH45-46GL and 3BNC60GL make all predicted HC VRC01-class signature contacts with the CD4-binding loop, the V5 loop, and loop D to bind to gp120. Scharf2016 (structure)
VRC01: This study reported that early passive immunotherapy can eliminate early viral foci and thereby prevent the establishment of viral reservoirs. HIV-1–specific human neutralizing mAbs (NmAbs) were used as a post-exposure therapy in an infant macaque model for intrapartum MTCT, inoculated orally with the SHIV SF162P3. On days 1, 4, 7 and 10 post virus exposure, animals were injected with NmAbs and quantified systemic distribution 24 h after Ab administration. Replicating virus was found in multiple tissues by day 1 in untreated animals. For VRC01 The time to maximal concentration in the plasma was 24 h, independent of dose, and the serum (plasma) half-life of VRC01 was 3.9–4.2 d. All NmAb-treated macaques were free of virus in blood and tissues at 6 months after exposure. Hessell2016 (neutralization, acute/early infection, immunotherapy, mother-to-infant transmission)
VRC01: Donor EB179 was a long-term non-progressor with high serum neutralization breadth and potency. 8 B-cell clones produced Abs, including 179NC75 which had the highest neutralization, especially to Clade B virus, neutralizing 70% of a clade-B pseudovirus panel and 6 out of 9 cross-clade Env pseudoviruses as opposed to bNAb VRC01's neutralizing 7/9 of the same psuedoviral panel. 179NC75 was also more potent than VRC01 against 8 viruses of a 22 Tier-2 clade B panel. Freund2015 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: A panel of antibodies was tested for binding, stability, and ADCC activity on HIV-infected cells. The differences in killing efficiency were linked to changes in binding of the antibody and the accessibility of the Fc region when bound to infected cells. Ab VRC01 had weak ADCC. Bruel2016 (ADCC, binding affinity)
VRC01: This review discusses the structural characteristics of bNAbs, how they recognize the virus, and new vaccination strategies that aim to guide B cells to produce protective Abs. The evolutionary lineage of VRC01 in the donor has been extensively studied. Although VRC01 had a 5-fold lower mutation rate than other bNAbs, such as CA256-VRC26 and CH103, it seems likely that the principles that guide VRC01 bNAb development will apply to other bNAb ontogenies. Sadanand2016 (vaccine antigen design, review)
VRC01: To test whether NAbs can inhibit viral transmission through mucosal tissue, 4 bNAbs (PG9, PG16, VRC01, 4E10) were tested in tissue culture models of human colonic and ectocervical tissues. All 4 nAbs reduced HIV transmission, with a relative efficacy of PG16 > PG9 > VRC01 >> 4E10. The nAbs had a good safety profile and were not affected by the presence of semen. Scott2015 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: The study's goal was to produce modified SOSIP trimers that would reduce the exposure - and, by inference, the immunogenicity - of non-NAb epitopes such as V3. The binding of several modified SOSIP trimers was compared among 12 neutralizing (PG9, PG16, PGT145, PGT121, PGT126, 2G12, PGT135, VRC01, CH103, CD4, IgG2, PGT151, 35O22) and 3 non-neutralizing antibodies (14e, 19b, b6). The V3 non-NAbs 447-52D, 39F, 14e, and 19b bound less well to all A316W variant trimers compared to wild-type trimers. Mice and rabbits immunized with modified, stabilized SOSIP trimers developed fewer V3 Ab responses than those immunized with native trimers. deTaeye2015 (antibody binding site)
VRC01: In 5 years additional members of the CH235 clonal lineage were isolated based on deep sequencing of donor CH505's V_L and V_H chains at 17 timepoints in the donor's infection. Two of these had greater neutralization potency, CH235.9 and CH235.12. Study of crystal structures indicated a site of vulnerability near the Env CD4 binding site. The lineages of CH103 and CH235, both derived from Donor CH505 were compared - CH103 lineage K_d increased an order of magnitude each step of maturation but maintained a fast association rate; CH235 lineage however, had slower K_ds and K_as over maturation. VRC01 was used as a control and neutralized 89% of a 202-multiclade Env-psuedovirus panel at a potency of <50 µg/ml. Despite using VH1-46, the CH235.9 and CH235.12 neutralizing profiles were more similar functionally to that of VH1-2-derived antibody VRC01. Structurally, both VRC01 and the CH235 bNAbs mimic CD4 to bind virus, preserving contacts with gp120 D368. Bonsignori2016 (neutralization, binding affinity, antibody sequence)
VRC01: A germline-targeting immunogen (eOD-GT8) was developed to elicit VRC01-class bNAbs. HIV-naive humans were shown to have VRC01-class precursor naive B cells that responded to this immunogen. Not only are the eOD-GT8 isolated naïve B cells highly enriched for VRC01-class core characteristics of VH1-02 and a 5–amino acid L-CDR3, they possess further refined sequence attributes of VRC01-class bNAbs. Jardine2016 (vaccine antigen design, immunotherapy, antibody lineage)
VRC01: HIV-1 strains were isolated from 60 patients infected with CRFs 01_AE, 07_BC, and 08_BC. Eight CRF01 strains that produced high-titer Env pseudoviruses were studied further. All were sensitive to neutralization by VRC01, PG9, PG16, and NIH45-46, but insensitive to 2G12. Mutations in either of the loop D or V5 regions (or both) may be critical for natural evasion of VRC01. However, the resistance mechanisms are currently unknown and four CRF01 AE viruses, CNAE08, CNAE14, CNAE17, and CNAE31, were demonstrated to be resistant to VRC01. Exchanging the V5 region alone did not affect the sensitivity of the viruses to VRC01.CNAE09, CNAE10, and CNAE11 strains containing the asparagine residue at position 461 were still highly sensitive to VRC01. CNAE17 demonstrated the highest levels of resistance may be due to the presence of mutation S365P in the CD4bs. Chen2016 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
VRC01: Four bNAbs (VRC01, VRC01-LS, 3BNC117, and 10-1074) were administered, singly or in combination, to macaques, followed by weekly challenges with clade B SHIV_AD8. In all cases, the administration of MAbs delayed virus acquisition. Control animals required 2 to 6 challenges before becoming infected, while animals receiving VRC01 required 4–12 challenges; 3BNC117 required 7–20 challenges; 10-1074 required 6–23 challenges; and VRC01-LS required 9–18 challenges. Animals that received a single antibody infusion resisted infection for up to 23 weekly challenges. Gautam2016 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: A large cross-sectional study of sera from 205 ART-naive patients infected with different HIV clades was tested against a panel of 219 cross-clade Env-pseudotyped viruses. Their neutralization was compared to the neutralization of 10 human bNAbs (10E8, 4E10, VRC01, PG9, PGT145, PGT128, 2F5, CH01, b12, 2G12) tested with a panel of 119 Env-pseudotyped viruses. Results from b12 and 2G12 suggested that these bnAbs may not be as broadly neutralizing as previously thought. VRC01 neutralized 89% of the 199 viruses tested. Hraber2014 (neutralization)
VRC01: This study isolated 4 novel antibodies that bind the CD4 binding site of Env. Population-level analysis classified a diverse group of CD4bs antibodies into two types: CDR H3-dominated or VH-gene-restricted, each with distinct ontogenies. Structural data revealed that neutralization breadth was correlated with angle of approach of the antibodies to the CD4 binding region. VRC01 was one of the antibodies in the VH-gene-restricted class. Zhou2015 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Double, triple or quadruple combinations of fifteen bNAbs that target 4 distinct epitope regions: the CD4 binding site (3BNC117, VRC01, VRC07, VRC07-523, VRC13), the V3-glycan supersite (10–1074, 10-1074V, PGT121, PGT128), the V1/V2-glycan site (PG9, PGT145, PGDM1400, CAP256-VRC26.08, CAP256-VRC26.25), and the gp41 MPER epitope (10E8) were studied. Their neutralization potency and breadth were assayed against a panel of 200 acute/early subtype C strains, and compared to a novel, highly accurate predictive mathematical model (no-overlap Bliss Hill model, CombiNaber tool, LANL HIV Immunology database). These data were used to predict the best combinations of bNAbs for immunotherapy. Wagh2016 (neutralization, immunotherapy)
VRC01: VRC07-523:BNabs were tested for their ability to suppress viremia during acute infection in rhesus macaques. Most effective by all virological parameters was dual therapy with VRC07-523 + PGT121. Therapy with VRC01 also curtailed viral replication, but less consistently. These finding support the use of MAbs for immunotherapy during early infection. Bolton2015 (acute/early infection, immunotherapy)
VRC01: The rate of maturation and extent of diversity for the VRC01 lineage were characterized through longitudinal sampling of peripheral B cell transcripts from donor 45 over 15 years and co-crystal structures. VRC01-lineage clades underwent continuous evolution, with rates of ˜2 substitutions per 100 nucleotides per year, comparable with HIV-1 evolution. 39 VRC01-lineage Abs segregated into three major clades, and all Abs from donor 45 contained a cysteine at position 98 (99 in some sequences due to a 1-aa insertion) which was used as a signature to assess membership in the VRC01 lineage. Of 1,041 curated NGS sequences assigned to the VRC01 lineage, six did not contain the cysteine while 1,035 did (99.4%). For this Ab CDR H3 length is 12 and VH changes 32%, Vk nucleotide change is 18%. Wu2015 (antibody lineage)
VRC01: A VRC01 drug product was administered to 23 participants: 15 were on ART, and 8 were viremic and not receiving ART. The treatment reduced viremia significantly only in the viremic subjects. In 4 of these subjects, the reduction in viremia was accompanied by outgrowth of viruses that were less neutralization-sensitive. Lynch2015 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: CD4-binding site Abs are reviewed. New insights from donor-serum responses, atomic-level structures of antibody-Env complexes, and next-generation sequencing of B-cell transcripts are invigorating vaccine-design efforts to elicit effective CD4-binding site Abs. Analysis of the epitopes recognized by CD4-binding Abs reveals substantial similarity in the recognized region of gp120. VRC01 targets the outer domain of gp120. Georgiev2013a (review)
VRC01: The human Ab gene repertoires of uninfected and HIV-1-infected individuals were studied at genomic DNA (gDNA) and cDNA levels to determine the frequencies of putative germline Ab genes of known HIV-1 bnAbs. All libraries were deep sequenced and analysed using IMGT/HighV-QUEST software (http://imgt.org/HighV-QUEST/index. The human gDNA Ab libraries were more diverse in heavy and light chain V-gene lineage usage than the cDNA libraries. This implied that the human gDNA Ab gene repertoires may have more potential than the cDNA repertoires to develop HIV-1 bnmAbs. Relatively high frequencies of the VH and VKs and VLs that used the same V-genes and had the same CDR3 lengths as known HIV-1 bnmAbs regardless of (D)J-gene usage. The putative germline genes were determined for a set of mAbs (b12, VRC01, VRC03, NIH45-46, 3BNC60, PG9, PGT127, and X5). Zhang2013 (antibody lineage, germline)
VRC01: A previous study demonstrated the presence of VRC01-resistant strains in an HIV-1 infected patient during antiretroviral therapy. This study report follow-up of two subsequent samples, CRF08-BC env clones,CNE47 and CNE48 from the same patient. With genetic and phenotypic analysis it showed that VRC01-resistant HIV-1 continued to exist and the resistant phenotype was associated with a single asparagine residue at position 460 (N460), a potential N-linked glycosylation site in the V5 region. Guo2014
VRC01: A subset of bNAbs that inhibit both cell-free and cell-mediated infection in primary CD4+ lymphocytes have been identified. These antibodies target either the CD4-binding site or the glycan/V3 loop on HIV-1 gp120 and act at low concentrations by inhibiting multiple steps of viral cell to cell transmission. This property of blocking viral transmission to plasmacytoid DCs and interfering with type-I IFN production should be considered an important characteristic defining the potency for therapeutic or prophylactic antiviral strategies. VRC01 was only partially effective in blocking cell to cell transmission. Malbec2013
VRC01: The effect of PNGS on viral infectivity and antibody neutralization (2F5, 4E10, b12, VRC01, VRC03, PG9, PG16, 3869) was evaluated through systemic mutations of each PNGS on CRF07_BC strain. Mutations at N197 (C2), N301 (V3), N442 (C4), and N625 (gp41) rendered the virus more susceptible to neutralization by MAbs that recognize the CD4 binding site or gp41. Generally, mutations on V4/V5 loops, C2/C3/C4 regions, and gp41 reduced the neutralization sensitivity to PG16. However, mutation of N289 (C2) made the virus more sensitive to both PG9 and PG16. Mutations at N142 (V1), N355 (C3) and N463 (V5) conferred resistance to neutralization by anti-gp41 MAbs. Available structural information of HIV Env and homology modeling was used to provide a structural basis for the observed biological effects of these mutations. Wang2013 (neutralization, structure)
VRC01: This review surveyed the Vectored Immuno Prophylaxis (VIP) strategy, which involves passive immunization by viral vector-mediated delivery of genes encoding bnAbs for in vivo expression. Recently published studies in humanized mice and macaques were discussed as well as the pros and cons of VIP towards clinical applications to control HIV endemics. A single injection of AAV8 vector achieved peak Ab production in serum at week 6.VRC01 could provide full protection against HIV challenge (10 ng) at a titer of 8.3 μg/mL conforming the superiority over b12. Yang2014 (immunoprophylaxis, review, antibody gene transfer)
VRC01: Engineered nanoparticle immunogens eOD-GT8 in 60mer and 3mer form bound VRC01 bNAb precursors and induced VRC01-class bNAbs with classic short CDRL3 in a VRC01 gH (approximated germline-reverted heavy chain precursor) knock-in mouse. Induced antibodies had mutations favoring binding to near-native gp120 constructs. Jardine2015 (antibody generation, enhancing activity, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: The ability of bNAbs to inhibit the HIV cell entry was tested for b12, VRC01,VRC03, PG9, PG16, PGT121, 2F5, 10E8, 2G12. Among them, PGT121, VRC01, and VRC03 potently inhibited HIV entry into CD4+ T cells of infected individuals whose viremia was suppressed by ART. Chun2014 (immunotherapy)
VRC01: The heavy and light chains of VRC01 were stably expressed in tobacco plant cells. The resulting antibody had neutralization breadth and potency similar to that produced in HEK cells. The results demonstrate a method for low-cost production of anti-HIV antibodies. Teh2014 (antibody gene transfer)
VRC01: A gp140 trimer mosaic construct (MosM) was produced based on M group sequences. MosM bound to CD4 as well as multiple bNAbs, including VRC01, 3BNC117, PGT121, PGT126, PGT145, PG9 and PG16. The immunogenicity of this construct, both alone and mixed together with a clade C Env protein vaccine, suggest a promising approach for improving NAb responses. Nkolola2014 (vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: Cross-group neutralization of HIV-1 isolates from groups M, N, O, and P was tested with diverse patient sera and bNAbs PG9, PG16, 4E10, b12, 2F5, 2G12, VRC01, VRC03, and HJ16. The primary isolates displayed a wide spectrum of sensitivity to neutralization by the human sera, with some cross-group neutralization clearly observed. Among the bNAbs, only PG9 and PG16 showed any cross-group neutralization. The group N prototype strain YBF30 was highly sensitive to neutralization by PG9, and the interaction between their key residues was confirmed by molecular modeling. The conservation of the PG9/PG16 epitope within groups M and N suggests its relevance as a vaccine immunogen. Braibant2013 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
VRC01: VRC01 was one of 10 MAbs used to study chronic vs. consensus vs. transmitted/founder (T/F) gp41 Envs for immunogenicity. Consensus Envs were the most potent eliciters of response but could only neutralize tier 1 and some tier 2 viruses. T/F Envs elicited the greatest breadth of NAb response; and chronic Envs elicited the lowest level and narrowest response. This CD4BS binding Nab bound well at <10 nM to 3/5 chronic Envs, 4/6 Consensus Envs and 6/7 T/F Envs. Liao2013c (antibody interactions, binding affinity)
VRC01: Study evaluated 4 gp140 Env protein vaccine immunogens derived from an elite neutralizer donor VC10042, an HIV+ African American male from Vanderbilt cohort. Env immunogens, VC10042.05, VC10042.05RM, VC10042.08 and VC10042.ela, elicited high titers of cross-reactive Abs recognizing V1/V2 regions. All the Env protein except VC10042.05 bound to VRC01, although weak binding was detected with VC10042.05 monomer. Parental Env of VC10042.ela was highly neutralized by VRC01. Carbonetti2014 (elite controllers, vaccine-induced immune responses)
VRC01: The effect of low pH and HIV-1 Abs which increased the transcytosis of the virus by 20 fold, has been reported. This enhanced transcytosis was due to the Fc neonatal receptor (FcRn), which facilitates HIV-1's own transmission by usurping Ab responses directed against itself. Both infectious and noninfectious viruses were transcytosed by VRC01. Gupta2013
VRC01: A set of potent VRC01-like (PVL) MAbs were generated from VRC01-derivatve NIH45-46^G54W and they were more potent than even NIH45-46 or NIH45-46^G54W, cross-recognizing viruses across clades. The novel antibodies designed based on crystal structure were NIH45-46m2, NIH45-46m7, NIH45-46m25 and NIH45-46m28, with NIH45-46m2 being the single most broad and potent antibody till date. 45-46m2 and 45-46m7 in combination with each other and a third antibody were able to thwart viral escape routes. Diskin2013
VRC01: Clade A Env sequence, BG505, was identified to bind to bNAbs representative of most of the known NAb classes. This sequence is the best natural sequence match (73%) to the MRCA sequence from 19 Env sequences derived from PG9 and PG16 MAbs' donor. A point mutation at position L111A of BG505 enabled more efficient production of a stable gp120 monomer, preserving the major neutralization epitopes. The antisera produced by this adjuvanted formulation of gp120 competed with bnAbs from 3 classes of non-overlapping epitopes. VRC01 showed very high neutralization titer against BG505 pseudovirus in a competitive binding assay as shown in Table 1. Hoffenberg2013 (antibody interactions, neutralization)
VRC01: This study evaluated the frequency of anti-gp120 B cells in follicular (FO) and marginal zone (MZ) B cells compartments of naive WT mice and human populations. Mouse MZ B cells use IGHV1-53, closely related to human IGHV1-2*02 that encodes VRC01, to generate gp120-specific Abs. VRC01 bound very well to RSC3, but IGHV1-53 didn't. These MZ B cell derived germline Abs showed similarity to purported VRC01 germline and are not protective against HIV. Pujanauski2013 (antibody lineage)
VRC01: 4 new variants of VRC07, a MAb from the VRC01 class of neutralizing antibodies were generated using structure-guided optimization and were between 4 and 5.7 times more potent than VRC01. Rudicell2014
VRC01: The neutralization profile of 1F7, a human CD4bs mAb, is reported and compared to other bnNAbs. 1F7 exhibited extreme potency against primary HIV-1, but limited breadth across clades.VRC01 neutralized 92% of a cross-clade panel of 157 HIV-1 isolates (Fig. S1) while 1F7 neutralized only 20% of the isolates. Gach2013 (neutralization)
VRC01: This study reports the development of a new cell-line (A3R5)-based highly sensitive Ab detection assay. This T-lymphoblastoid cell-line stably expreses CCR5 and recognizes CCR5-tropic circulating strains of HIV-1. A3R5 cells showed greater neutralization potency compared to the current cell-line of choice TZM-bl. VRC01 was used as a reference Ab in neutralization assay comparing A3R5 and TZM-bl. McLinden2013 (assay or method development)
VRC01: This is a review of identified bNAbs, including the ontogeny of B cells that give rise to these antibodies. Breadth and magnitude of neutralization, unique features and similar bNAbs are listed. VRC01 is a CD4bs Ab, with breadth 87%, IC₅₀ 0.98 μg per ml, and its unique feature is CD4 mimicry by its VH1-2-derived heavy chain. Similar MAbs include VRC02, VRC03, NIH45-46, 3BNC60, BNC62, 3BNC117, 12A12, 12A21, 12A30, VRC-PG04, VRC-CH31. Kwong2013 (review)
VRC01: A highly conserved mechanism of exposure of ADCC epitopes on Env is reported, showing that binding of Env and CD4 within the same HIV-1 infected cell effectively exposes these epitopes. The mechanism might explain the evolutionary advantage of downregulation of cell surface CD4v by the Vpu and Nef proteins. VRC01 was used in CD4 coexpression and competitive binding assay. Veillette2014 (ADCC)
VRC01: The ability of MAb A32 to recognize HIV-1 Env expressed on the surface of infected CD4(+) T cells as well as its ability to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity was investigated. This study demonstrates that the epitope defined by MAb A32 is a major target on gp120 for plasma ADCC activity. VRC01 was used as a control and A32 showed >3 fold higher ADCC activity than VRC01. Ferrari2011a (ADCC)
VRC01_d45: The ontogeny of VRC01 class Abs was determined by enumerating VRC01-class characteristics in many donors by next-gen sequencing and X-ray crystallography. Analysis included VRC01 (donor NIH 45), VRC-PG04 (donor IAVI 74), VRC-CH31 (donor 0219), 3BNC117 (donor RU3), 12A21 (donor IAVI 57), and somatically related VRC-PG19,19b, 20, 20b MAbs from donor IAVI 23. Despite the sequence differences of VRC01-class Abs, exceeding 50%, Ab-gp120 cocrystal structures showed VRC01-class recognition to be remarkably similar. It is reported that glutamic acid to glutamine mutation at residue 96 decreased the binding affinity to 10 fold in VRC01. Zhou2013a (antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage)
VRC01: Next generation sequencing was applied to a new donor C38 (different from donor NIH45) to identify VRC01 class bNAbs. VRC01 class heavy chains were selected through a cross-donor phylogenetic analysis. VRC01 class light chains were identified through a five-amino-acid sequence motif. (CDR L3 length of 5 amino acids and Q or E at position 96 (Kabat numbering) or position 4 within the CDR L3 sequence.) Zhu2013a (antibody sequence)
VRC01: Series of VRC01 and 10E8 variants with partial framework reversions to germline in both H and L chains were created and their neutralization activity was compared to that of the mature antibody. Some of these Abs retained broad and potent neutralization activity even when their framework regions were substantially reverted back to germline, suggesting the promise of partial framework reversion for Ab optimization. Georgiev2014 (neutralization, antibody lineage)
VRC01: A statistical model selection method was used to identify a global panel of 12 reference Env clones among 219 Env-pseudotyped viruses that represent the spectrum of neutralizing activity seen with sera from 205 chronically HIV-1-infected individuals. This small final panel was also highly sensitive for detection of many of the known bNAbs, including this one. The small panel of 12 Env clones should facilitate assessments of vacine-elicited NAbs. Decamp2014 (assay or method development)
VRC01: N276D was determined as the critical binding site of MAb HJ16 by resistance induction in a sensitive primary CRF02_AG strain. N-linked glycosylation site removing N276D mutation was responsible for resistance to HJ16 by site-directed mutagenesis in envs of the homologous CRF02_AG, as well as of a subtype A and a subtype C primary isolate. Sensitivity to the CD4bs VRC01 and VRC03 mAbs was increased in the N276D mutated viruses. Balla-Jhagjhoorsingh2013 (glycosylation)
VRC01:X-ray crystallography, surface plasmon resonance and pseudovirus neutralization were used to characterize a heavy chain only llama antibody, named JM4. The full-length IgG2b version of JM4 neutralizes over 95% of circulating HIV-1 isolates. JM4 targets a hybrid epitope on gp120 that combines elements from both the CD4 binding region and the coreceptor binding surface. JM4 epitope overlaps very little with the VRC01 although the binding sites are in close proximity. JM4 IgG2b was able to potently neutralize the HIV-1 isolates that were resistant to VRC01. Acharya2013 (neutralization)
VRC01: This is a review of a satellite symposium at the AIDS Vaccine 2012 conference, focusing on antibody gene transfer. Dennis Burton showed that PGT121 provides protection in lower in vivo concentrations than b12. Balazs2013 (immunoprophylaxis)
VRC01: A computational method to predict Ab epitopes at the residue level, based on structure and neutralization panels of diverse viral strains has been described. This method was evaluated using 19 Env-Abs, including VRC01, against 181 diverse HIV-1 strains with available Ab-Ag complex structures. Chuang2013 (computational epitope prediction)
VRC01: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. VRC01 is discussed as the CD4bs-targeting, neutralizing anti-gp120 mAb exhibiting ADCC activity and having a discontinuous epitope. Both VRC01 and b12 recognize the outer domain of gp120. b12 recognizes using Ab heavy chain, where as VRC01 uses both heavy and light chains. This differences is crucial for their neutralization breadth. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
VRC01: "Neutralization fingerprints" for 30 neutralizing antibodies were determined using a panel of 34 diverse HIV-1 strains. 10 antibody clusters were defined: VRC01-like, PG9-like, PGT128-like, 2F5-like, 10E8-like and separate clusters for b12, CD4, 2G12, HJ16, 8ANC195. This mAb belongs to PG9-like cluster. Georgiev2013 (neutralization)
VRC01: Cryoelectron tomography was used to determine structures of A12, m36, or m36/CD4 complexed to trimeric Env displayed on intact HIV-1 BaL virus. The steric interactions at the distal ends of the bound Ab moieties are likely to play a role in determining the rotation of gp120 as in A12 and b12 or without any quaternary structure change as in VRC01. Meyerson2013 (antibody binding site, structure)
VRC01: Systematic computational analyses of gp120 plasticity and conformational transition in complexes with CD4 binding fragments, mimetic proteins and Ab fragments is described to explain the molecular mechanisms by which gp120 interacts with the CD4bs at local and subdomain levels. An isotopic elastic network analysis, a full atomic normal mode analysis and simulation of conformational transitions were used to compare the gp120 structures in CD4 bound and Ab-bound states. VRC01 was mentioned in the context of CD4 binding sites. Korkut2012 (structure)
VRC01: This study describes an ˜11 Angstrom cryo-EM structure of the trimeric HIV-1 Env precursor in its unliganded state. The three gp120 and gp41 subunits form a cage like structure with an interior void surrounding the trimer axis which restricts Ab access. VRC01 was used in ELISA to asses the recognition of the purified Env glycoproteins and recognized conformation dependent epitopes near CD4 binding site of gp120. Mao2012 (structure)
VRC01: The sera of 20 HIV-1 patients were screened for ADCC in a novel assay measuring granzyme B (GrB) and T cell elimination and reported that complex sera mediated greater levels of ADCC than anti-HIV mAbs. The data suggested that total amount of IgG bound is an important determinant of robust ADCC which improves the vaccine potency. VRC01 was used as an anti CD4 binding Ab to study effects of Ab specificity and affinity on ADCC against HIV-1 infected targets. Smalls-Mantey2012 (ADCC, assay or method development)
VRC01: Neutralizing antibody response was studied in elite controller. Subject VC10042 is an African American male, infected with clade B for 2 decades (since 1984) without any signs of disease and no antiretroviral treatment. The neutralizing activity of autologous CD4bs NAbs was very similar to that of NIH45-46W, but very different from other anti-CD4bs MAbs tested. The viral autologous variants that were resistant to neutralization by autologous and most bnMAbs tested had an extremely rare R272/N368 combination. This mutation was shown in the study to impart a fitness cost to the virus. Sather2012 (autologous responses, elite controllers, neutralization, escape, polyclonal antibodies)
VRC01: Isolation of VRC06 and VRC06b MAbs from a slow progressor donor 45 is reported. This is the same donor from whom bnMAbs VRC01, VRC03 and NIH 45-46 were isolated and the new MAbs are clonal variants of VRC03. VRC01 was used as a broadly reactive CD4bs MAb to compare neutralizing specificity of VRC06. Li2012
VRC01: This is a comment on Tan2012. It is noted that Tran and colleagues used high-resolution 3D cryoelectron tomography to define the conformation of Env when bound to soluble CD4 and to a series of monoclonal antibodies. It was demonstrated that antibodies binding to the CD4 binding site or coreceptor binding site of Env may lead to significantly different conformations of the trimeric Env complex. VRC01 locks the complex in a closed conformation, while binding to soluble CD4 or the monoclonal antibody 17b fixed the trimer in an open conformation. Wright2012 (novel epitope)
VRC01: Previous cryo-electron tomographic studies were extended. A more complete picture of the HIV entry process was presented by showing that HIV-1 Env binding to either soluble CD4 (sCD4) or the co-receptor mimic 17b leads to the same structural opening, or activation, of the Env spike. Atudy also demonstrated structurally that the broadly neutralizing antibodies VRC01, VRC02, VRC03 are able to block this activation, locking Env in a state that resembles closed, native Env. The cryo-electron microscopic structure of soluble trimeric Env in the 17b-bound state is presented at ˜9 Å resolution, revealing it as a novel, activated intermediate conformation of trimeric Env that could serve as a new template for immunogen design. Tran2012 (structure)
VRC01: Efficacy of VRC01 as a topically administered microbicide to prevent sexual transmission was evaluated in a RAG-hu humanized mouse model of vaginal HIV-1 transmission. A combination of MAbs b12, 2F5, 4E10 and 2G12, was used as a positive efficacy control. 7/9 VRC01 antibody administered mice and all of the mice receiving the four bNAb antibody combination were protected against HIV-1 challenge. Veselinovic2012 (immunoprophylaxis)
VRC01: Two genetically related and two unrelated envelope clones, derived from CRF08_BC-infected patients, with distinct VRC01 neutralization profiles were studied, and 22 chimeric envelope clones were generated by interchanging the loop D and/or V5 regions between the original envelopes or by single alanine substitutions within each region. Interchanging the V5 region between the genetically related or unrelated clones completely swapped their VRC01 sensitivity profiles. Asn-460, a potential N-linked glycosylation site in the V5 region, was a key factor for observed resistance. The long side chain of Asn-460, and potential glycosylation, may create steric hindrance that lowers binding affinity, thereby increasing resistance to VRC01 neutralization Guo2012 (neutralization, structure)
VRC01: Neutralization profiles of 7 bnAbs were analyzed against 45 Envs (A, C, D clades), obtained soon after infection (median 59 days). The transmitted variants have distinct characteristics compared to variants from chronic patients, such as shorter variable loops and fewer potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGS). VRC01 neutralized 71% of these viruses. Goo2012 (neutralization, rate of progression)
VRC01: A computational tool (Antibody Database) identifying Env residues affecting antibody activity was developed. As input, the tool incorporates antibody neutralization data from large published pseudovirus panels, corresponding viral sequence data and available structural information. The model consists of a set of rules that provide an estimated IC₅₀ based on Env sequence data, and important residues are found by minimizing the difference between logarithms of actual and estimated IC₅₀. The program was validated by analysis of MAb 8ANC195, which had unknown specificity. Predicted critical N-glycosylation for 8ANC195 were confirmed in vitro and in humanized mice. The key associated residues for each MAb are summarized in the Table 1 of the paper and also in the Neutralizing Antibody Contexts & Features tool at Los Alamos Immunology Database. West2013 (glycosylation, computational epitope prediction)
VRC01: Identification of broadly neutralizing antibodies, their epitopes on the HIV-1 spike, the molecular basis for their remarkable breadth, and the B cell ontogenies of their generation and maturation are reviewed. Ontogeny and structure-based classification is presented, based on MAb binding site, type (structural mode of recognition), class (related ontogenies in separate donors) and family (clonal lineage). This MAb's classification: gp120 CD4-binding site, CD4-mimicry by heavy chain, VRC01 class, VRC01 family. Kwong2012 (review, structure, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: This review discusses the new research developments in bnAbs for HIV-1, Influenza, HCV. Models of the HIV-1 Env spike and of Influenza visrus spike with select bnAbs bound are shown. Burton2012 (review)
VRC01: This review summarizes challenges to the development of an HIV-1 vaccine, lessons learned from scientific investigation and completed vaccine trials, and promising developments in HIV-1 vaccine design. VRC01 identification and characterization is discussed in detail. Kwong2012a (review)
VRC01: This review discusses how analysis of infection and vaccine candidate-induced antibodies and their genes may guide vaccine design. This MAb is listed as CD4 binding site bnAb, isolated after 2009 by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using a resurfaced core gp120 molecule (RSC3). Bonsignori2012b (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, review)
VRC01: Different adjuvants, including Freund's adjuvant (FCA/FIA), MF59, Carbopol-971P and 974P were compared on their ability to elicit antibody responses in rabbits. Combination of Carbopol-971P and MF59 induced potent adjuvant activity with significantly higher titer nAbs than FCA/FIA. There was no difference in binding of this MAb to gp140 SF162 with FIA, MF59, C974 and C974+MF59 adjuvants, but there was 3-fold decrease of antigenicity with C971 and C971+MF59 as compared to the unadjuvanted sample. Lai2012 (adjuvant comparison)
VRC01: Somatic hypermutations are preferably found in CDR loops, which alter the Ab combining sites, but not the overall structure of the variable domain. FWR of CDR are usually resistant to and less tolerant of mutations. This study reports that most bnAbs require somatic mutations in the FWRs which provide flexibility, increasing Ab breadth and potency. To determine the consequence of FWR mutations the framework residues were reverted to the Ab's germline counterpart (FWR-GL) and binding and neutralizing properties were then evaluated. VRC01, a CD4Bs Ab, was among the 17 bnAbs which were used in studying the mutations in FWR. Fig S4C described the comparison of Ab framework amino acid replacement vs. interactive surface area on VRC01. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
VRC01: This study shows that Env immunogens fail to engage the germline-reverted forms of known bnAbs that target CD4BS. However, the elimination of a conserved NLGS at Asn276 in Loop D and the NLGS at positions 460 and 463, located in variable region 5 of Env increased the binding and activation of VRC01 and NIH45-46. This study showed that elimination of NLGS from these regions from Clade C Env 426c increases VRC01 binding. McGuire2013 (neutralization, antibody lineage)
VRC01: Antigenic properties of 2 biochemically stable and homogeneous gp140 trimers (A clade 92UG037 and C clade CZA97012) were compared with the corresponding gp120 monomers derived from the same percursor sequences. The trimers had nearly all the antigenic properties expected for native viral spikes and were markedly different from monomeric gp120. All gp120 and gp140 trimers bound tightly to VRC01 Fab, with the higher affinity for VRC01-gp140 interactions. the trimers also resisted conformational changes induced by VRC01, as demonstrated by 17b binding. Kovacs2012 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: Glycan shield of HIV Env protein helps to escape the Ab recognition. Several of the PGT BnAbs interact directly with the HIV glycan coat. Crystal structures of Fabs PGT127 and PGT128 showed that the high neutralizing potency was mediated by cross-linking Env trimers on the viral surface. PGT128 was compared and referred as an order of magnitude more potent than VRC01. Pejchal2011 (glycosylation, structure, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Intrinsic reactivity of HIV-1, a new property regulating the level of both entry and sensitivity to Abs has been reported. This activity dictates the level of responsiveness of Env protein to co-receptor, CD4 engagement and Abs. VRC01 has been used as a control CD4BS binding Ab in immuno-precipitation assay. Haim2011 (antibody interactions)
VRC01: Computational and crystallographic analysis and in vitro screening were employed to design a gp120 outer domain immunogen (eOD-GT6) that could bind to VRC01-class bNAbs and to their germline precursors. When multimerized on nanoparticles, eOD-GT6 activated germline and mature VRC01-class B cells and thus can be a promising vaccine prime. eOD-GT6 had 10 mutations relative to HXB2. Removal of glycans at positions 276 and 463 was necessary for GL affinity and removal of glycans at positions 386 and 403 also improved affinity. T278R, I371F, N460V are involved in the binding interface. L260F, K357R, G471S stabilize loops involved in the interface. eOD-GT6 bound both VRC01 mature and germline antibodies. Jardine2013 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design, structure, antibody lineage)
VRC01: The study used the swarm of quasispecies representing Env protein variants to identify mutants conferring sensitivity and resistance to BnAbs. Libraries of Env proteins were cloned and in vitro mutagenesis was used to identify the specific AA responsible for altered neutralization/resistance, which appeared to be associated with conformational changes and exposed epitopes in different regions of gp160. The result showed that sequences in gp41, the CD4bs, and V2 domain act as global regulator of neutralization sensitivity. VRC01 was used as BnAb to screen Env clones and no significant change was observed with VRC01 neutralization. ORourke2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: Concomitant virus evolution and antibody maturation, leading to induction of a lineage of broadly neutralizing antibodies CH103-CH106, were followed in an African patient CH505 for 34 months from the time of infection. Compared to 30-36% VRC01, CH31 and NIH45-46 mutation frequencies of the published CD4 binding sites, CH103-CH106 exhibited 13-17% mutations. Liao2013 (broad neutralizer)
VRC01: This study reports the isolation of a panel of Env vaccine elicited CD4bs-directed macaque mAbs and genetic and functional features that distinguish these Abs from CD4bs MAbs produced during chronic HIV-1 infection. VRC01 was used as a control bNAb. Sundling2012 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
VRC01: Existing structural and sequence data was analyzed. A set of signature features for potent VRC01-like (PVL) and almost PVL abs was proposed and verified by mutagenesis. Sequences of VRC01, NIH45-46 and VRC-PG04 revealed a striking correlation for the length of CDRL3 (5 residues). West2012a (antibody lineage)
VRC01: Synthesis of an engineered soluble heterotrimeric gp140 is described. These gp140 protomers were designed against clade A and clade B viruses. The heterotrimer gp140s exhibited broader anti-tier1 isolate neutralizing antibody responses than homotrimer gp140. VRC01 was used to determine and compare the immunogenicity of homo and heterotrimers gp140s. Sellhorn2012 (vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: The use of computationally derived B cell clonal lineages as templates for HIV-1 immunogen design is discussed. VRC01 has been discussed in terms of immunogenic and functional characteristics of representative HIV-1 BnAbs and their reactions to antigens. Haynes2012 (antibody interactions, memory cells, vaccine antigen design, review, antibody polyreactivity, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Crystal structures of unliganded core gp120 from HIV-1 clade B, C, and E were determined to understand the mechanism of CD4 binding capacity of unliganded HIV-1. The results suggest that the CD4 bound conformation represents "a ground state" for the gp120 core with variable loop. VRC01 was used as a control to prove whether the purified and crystallized gp120 is in the CD4 bound conformational state or not. Kwon2012 (structure)
VRC01: Polyclonal B cell responses to conserved neutralization epitopes are reported. Cross-reactive plasma samples were identified and evaluated from 308 subjects tested. VRC01 was used as a control mAb in the comprehensive set of assays performed. Tomaras2011 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
VRC01: Several antibodies including 10-1074 were isolated from B-cell clone encoding PGT121, from a clade A-infected African donor using YU-2 gp140 trimers as bait. These antibodies were segregated into PGT121-like (PGT121-123 and 9 members) and 10-1074-like (20 members) groups distinguished by sequence, binding affinity, carbohydrate recognition, neutralizing activity, the V3 loop binding and the role of glycans in epitope formation. VRC01 was used as a control in virus neutralization assay. Detail information on the binding and neutralization assays are described in the figures S2-S11. Mouquet2012a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: YU2 gp140 bait was used to characterize 189 new MAbs representing 51 independent IgG memory B cell clones from 3 clade A or B HIV infected patients exhibiting broad neutralizing activity. The neutralizing potency of the antibodies was compared and none of these antibodies were as broad as VRC01. It has also been referred in discussing the efficiency of YU-2 gp140 trimer as a bait for Ab capture. Mouquet2011 (neutralization)
VRC01: The rational design of vaccines to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 is discussed in relation to understanding of vaccine recognition sites, the structural basis of interaction with HIV-1 env and vaccine developmental pathways. Role of VRC01 has been described regarding the sites of HIV-1 vulnerability to neutralizing antibodies and relating to humoral immune response during infection. VRC01 appears to target the site very effectively resulting in neutralization of ˜90% of circulating isolates. Kwong2011 (antibody binding site, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, review)
VRC01: A panel of glycan deletion mutants was created by point mutation into HIV gp160, showing that glycans are important targets on HIV-1 glycoproteins for broad neutralizing responses in vivo. Enrichment of high mannose N-linked glycan(HM-glycan) of HIV-1 glycoprotein enhanced neutralizing activity of sera from 8/9 patients. VRC01 was used as a control to compare the neutralizing activity of patients' sera. Lavine2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: Ab-driven escape and Ab role in infection control and prevention are reviewed. Main focus is on NAbs, but Ab acting through effector mechanisms are also discussed. Highly potent VRC01 (anti-CD4b) is discussed in the context of developing broadly cross-neutralizing antibodies. Overbaugh2012 (escape, review)
VRC01: Neutralization activity was compared against MAb 10E8 and other broad and potent neutralizers in a 181-isolate Env-pseudovirus panel. 2F5 neutralized 89% of viruses at IC50<50 μg/ml and 75% of viruses at IC50<1 μg/ml, compared with 98% and 72% of MAb 10E8, respectively. Huang2012a (neutralization)
VRC01: Antigenic properties of undigested VLPs and endo H-digested WT trimer VLPs were compared. Binding to E168K+ N189A WT VLPs was stronger than binding to the parent WT VLPs, uncleaved VLPs. There was no significant correlation between E168K+N189A WT VLP binding and VRC01 neutralization, while trimer VLP ELISA binding and neutralization exhibited a significant correlation. BN-PAGE shifts using digested E168K + N189A WT trimer VLPs exhibited prominence compared to WT VLPs. Tong2012 (neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: The role of V1V2 in the resistance of HIV-1 to neutralizing Abs was studied using a panel of neutralization-sensitive and -resistant HIV-1 variants and through exchanging regions of Env between neutralization-sensitive and -resistant viruses. An increase in the length of the V1V2 loop and/or the number of potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGS) in that same region of Env was directly involved in the neutralization resistance. The introduction of a longer V1V2 loop with more PNGS of HIV-1 from contemporary seroconverters into the background of Env of HIV-1 from historical seroconverters resulted in a 2-fold increase in neutralization resistance to MAb VRC01 for 10/18 viruses. vanGils2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
VRC01: To improve the immunogenicity of HIV-1 Env vaccines, a chimeric gp140 trimer in which V1V2 region was replaced by the GM-CSF cytokine was constructed. We selected GM-CSF was selected because of its defined adjuvant activity. Chimeric EnvGM-CSF protein enhanced Env-specific Ab and T cell responses in mice compared with wild-type Env. Probing with neutralizing antibodies showed that both the Env and GM-CSF components of the chimeric protein were folded correctly. 3 proteins were studied: Env-wild-type, Env-ΔV1V2, Env-hGM-CSF. MAb VRC01 against discontinuous epitope associated with the CD4bs recognized Env-hGM-CSF, but the binding was subtly (2-fold) less efficient compared with that to Env-wild-type, suggesting that the CD4bs on Env-hGM-CSF is intact, but the accessibility and/or conformation of the VRC01 epitope is subtly altered by the replacement of the V1V2 domain by GM-CSF. vanMontfort2011 (vaccine antigen design)
VRC01: Broadly neutralizing antibodies circulating in plasma were studied by affinity chromatography and isoelectric focusing. The Abs fell in 2 groups. One group consisted of antibodies with restricted neutralization breadth that had neutral isoelectric points. These Abs bound to envelope monomers and trimers versus core antigens from which variable loops and other domains have been deleted. Another minor group consisted of broadly neutralizing antibodies consistently distinguished by more basic isoelectric points and specificity for epitopes shared by monomeric gp120, gp120 core, or CD4-induced structures. The pI values estimated for neutralizing plasma IgGs were compared to those of human anti-gp120 MAbs, including 5 bnMAbs (PG9, PG16, VRC01, b12, and 2G12), 2 narrowly neutralizing MAbs (17b and E51), and 3 nonneutralizing MAbs (A32, C11, and 19e). bnMAbs VRC01, 2G12 and b12 had basic pIs (8.1 to >9).

VRC01: Sensitivity to neutralization was studied in 107 full-length Env molecular clones from multiple risk groups in various locations in China. Neutralization sensitivity to plasma pools and bNAbs was not correlated. IgG1b12 and VRC01 had different neutralization potency and breadth, despite both of them recognizing the critical CD4-binding domain. IgG1b12 neutralized 45% (14/31) while VRC01 neutralized about 81% (25/31) of the viruses tested. Shang2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
VRC01: Given the potential importance of cell-associated virus during mucosal HIV-1 transmission, sensitivity of bNAbs targeting HIV-1 envelope surface unit gp120 (VRCO1, PG16, b12, and 2G12) and transmembrane domain gp41 (4E10 and 2F5) was examined for both cell-free and mDC-mediated infections of TZM-bl and CD4+ T cells. It was reported that higher gp120-bNAb concentrations, but not gp41-directed bNAb concentrations, are required to inhibit mDC-mediated virus spread, compared with cell-free transmission. In all cases except for 89.6, the VRC01 concentration required to inhibit infection by 50% (IC50) was significantly lower for cell-free infection as compared with mDC-associated trans-infection. For 89.6, VRC01 did not demonstrate <50% inhibition of either cell-free or mDC-associated HIV-1 at the highest tested doses. 4E10 and 2F5 bound a significantly greater percentage of mDCs, compared with VRC01. Sagar2012 (neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: To overcome the many limitations of current systems for HIV-1 virus-like particle (VLP) production, a novel strategy was developed to produce HIV-1 VLP using stably transfected Drosophila S2 cells by cotransfecting S2 cells with plasmids encoding an envelope glycoprotein (consensus B or consensus C), a Rev-independent Gag (Pr55) protein, and a Rev protein, along with a pCoBlast selection marker. Except for antigenic epitope PG16, all other broadly neutralizing antigenic epitopes 2G12, b12, VRC01, and 4E10 tested are preserved on spikes of HIV-1 VLP produced by S2 clones. Yang2012 (assay or method development, neutralization)
VRC01: In order to increase recognition of CD4 by Env and to elicit stronger neutralizing antibodies against it, two Env probes were produced and tested - monomeric Env was stabilized by pocket filling mutations in the CD4bs (PF2) and trimeric Env was formed by appending trimerization motifs to soluble gp120/gp14. PF2-containing proteins were better recognized by bNMAb against CD4bs and more rapidly elicited neutralizing antibodies against the CD4bs. Trimeric Env, however, elicited a higher neutralization potency that mapped to the V3 region of gp120. Feng2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: The sera of 113 HIV-1 seroconverters from three cohorts were analyzed for binding to a set of well-characterized gp120 core and resurfaced stabilized core (RSC3) protein probes, and their cognate CD4bs knockout mutants. VRC01 bound very strongly to the gp120 core and RSC3, strongly bound to RSC3/G367R, weakly bound to gp120 core D368R and RSC3 Δ3711, and very weakly bound to RSC3 Δ3711/P363N. Lynch2012 (binding affinity)
VRC01: The interaction of CD4bs-binding MAbs (VRC01, VRC-PG04) and V1V2 glycan-dependent MAbs (PG9, PG16) was analyzed. MAb binding and neutralization studies showed that these two Env targets to not cross-compete and that their combination can mediate additive neutralization. The combination of MAbs VRC01 and PG9 provides a predicted coverage of 97% of 208 isolates at IC50 < 50 μg/ml and of 91% at IC50 < 50 μg/ml. In contrast, the combination of PG9 and PG16 (or the combination of VRC01 and VRC-PG04) was only marginally better than either MAb alone. Doria-Rose2012 (antibody interactions)
VRC01: The strategy of incorporating extra glycans onto gp120 was explored, with the goal to occlude the epitopes of non-neutralizing MAbs while maintaining exposure of the b12 site. The focus was on the head-to-head comparison of the ability of 2 adjuvants, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and Quil A, to promote CD4-specific Ab responses in mice immunized with the engineered mutant Q105N compared to gp120wt. Neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies targeting three areas on gp120 – the CD4bs (F105, b6, b12, b13, VRC01, VRC03 and CD4- IgG2), the glycosylated ‘silent face’ (2G12) and the V3 loop (B4e8) – were assessed for binding. The antibodies b6, b12, b13, VRC01 and 2G12 bound best to mutant Q105N, albeit with lower affinities than to gp120wt. Retention of b6 and b13 binding was not expected, but can be explained by their very similar mode of interaction with the CD4bs compared to b12. Abs F105 and VRC03 did not bind Q105N at all. The V3-specific antibody B4e8 did not bind to Q105N. Ahmed2012 (adjuvant comparison, antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
VRC01: The neutralization activities of IA versus IgG and Fab versions of three broadly neutralizing antibodies: PG9, PG16, and VRC01 was compared to more fully understand the potential trade-offs in vector and construct design. The potential to combine VCR01 and PG9/PG16 activities to produce a single reagent with two gp120 specificities was also explored. In an Env-pseudotyped HIV-1 neutralization assay against a panel of 30 strains, VRC01 neutralized 25 strains in IgG form, 24 strains in IgG-2A form, 21 stains in Fab form, 18 strains in IA form and 27 strains in VRC01_scFv-PG16 form. It was found that the PG9, PG16, and VRC01 IAs were severalfold less potent than their IgG forms. West2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: The role of envelope expression context and producer cell type was characterized for nine novel replication-competent chimeric HIV-1 isolates from the dominant circulating HIV-1 subtypes in Africa, where most new HIV-1 infections are occurring. Pseudoviruses generated in 293T cells were the most sensitive to antibody neutralization. Replicating viruses generated in primary lymphocytes were most resistant to neutralization by most monoclonal antibodies including VRC01. PBMC-derived chimeras displayed increased neutralization resistance compared to 293T-derived chimeras for VRC01. Provine2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: Phenotypic activities of a single transmitted/founder (T/F) virus from 24 acute individuals were compared to that of 17 viruses from chronics. T/F Envs were more sensitive than chronic Envs to MAbs b12 and VRC01. The binding of b12 and VRC01 to the trimeric Envs was strongly correlated to their sensitivity to inhibition for both T/F and chronic viruses. Binding of VRC01 to the T/F was increased relative to a subgroup of 11 chronics. Wilen2011 (neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: HIV-1 adaptation to neutralization by MAbs VRC01, PG9, PG16 was studied using HIV-1 variants from historic (1985-1989) and contemporary (2003-2006) seroconverters. VRC01 neutralized 33% of contemporary viruses at IC50 < 1 μ g/ml and 76% at IC50 < 4 μ g/ml. Viruses from contemporary seroconverters were significantly more resistant to neutralization by VRC01 and tended to be more resistant to neutralization by PG16. Despite that, all recently transmitted viruses were sensitive to at least one broadly neutralizing Ab at concentration < 5 μg/ml. There was no clear correlation between the sensitivity to VRC01 and presence or absence of certain amino acids. Euler2011 (neutralization, escape)
VRC01: VRC01 selection pressure was studied using viral quasispecies from 3 time points (2001, 2006, 2009) in donor 45, from whom VRC01 was initially isolated, and from several time points in 5 additional donors with broadly serum neutralizing Abs. 473 Envs were assessed in total. While VRC01 neutralizes 90% of genetically diverse heterologous HIV-1 strains, most plasma derived autologous Env variants from donor 45 were highly resistant to VRC01. Isolation of HIV-1 env sequences from proviral DNA allowed to identify archival ENV clones highly sensitive to VRC01, suggesting that donor 45 was infected with a VRC01 sensitive virus that evolved to escape from VRC01. Wu2012 (neutralization, escape)
VRC01: MAb VRC01 neutralization is further characterized in the context of full-length gp120, its impact on the architecture of the viral Env functional spike upon binding, and viral factors associated with the relatively few cases of HIV-1 neutralization resistance. It was confirmed that mutations of structurally defined contact residues in loop D (N terminal to the V3 region), the CD4 binding loop, and the V5-β24-α5 region diminished VRC01-mediated binding or neutralization. Li2011 (acute/early infection)
VRC01: The neutralization potency of PG9, PG16, VRC01 and PGV04 was approximately 10-fold greater than that of MAbs b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10. Alanine substitutions D279A, I420A and I423A abrogated PGV04 neutralization, and decreased neutralization by VRC01. In contrast to VRC01, PGV04 did not enhance 17b or X5 binding to their epitopes in the co-receptor region on the gp120 monomer, and in contrast to CD4, none of the CD4bs MAbs tested induced the 17b site on trimeric cleaved Env, suggesting that a degree of mimicry of CD4 by anti-CD4bs bnMAbs may be a consequence of binding to the CD4 epitope on monomeric gp120 rather than a neutralization mechanism. Falkowska2012 (neutralization)
VRC01: Neutralizing antibody repertoires of 4 HIV-infected donors with remarkably broad and potent neutralizing responses were probed. 17 new monoclonal antibodies that neutralize broadly across clades were rescued. All MAbs exhibited broad cross-clade neutralizing activity, but several showed exceptional potency. Although VRC01 neutralized 93% of 162 isolates at IC50<50 μg/ml, it was almost 10-fold less potent than several new antibodies PGT 121-123 and 125-128, for which the median antibody concentration required to inhibit HIV activity by 50% or 90% (IC50 and IC90 values) was almost 10-fold lower than that of PG9, VRC01 and PGV04. Walker2011 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: 576 new HIV antibodies were cloned from 4 unrelated individuals producing expanded clones of potent broadly neutralizing CD4bs antibodies that bind to the 2CC core. In order to amplify highly somatically mutated immunoglobulin genes, a new primer set with the 5' primer set further upstream from the potentially mutated region was used. Despite extensive hypermutation, the new antibodies shared a consensus sequence of 68 IgH chain amino acids and arose independently from two related IgH genes. With the exception of 8ANC195 MAb, all of the antibodies tested resemble CD4 and VRC01 in that they facilitate CD4i-antibody binding to one or both viral spikes. Comparison of the crystal structure of 3BNC60 MAb to VRC01 revealed conservation of the contacts to the HIV spike. In this study, VRC01 neutralized 100% of 118 isolates representing major HIV-1 clades, with IC50<50μg/ml, but only 17 of the viruses tested were more sensitive to VRC01 than to 3BNC117. NIH45-46, a new variant of VRC01, was more potent than VRC01 on 62 of the viruses tested but still less potent than 3BNC117. VRC01 was not polyreactive - reacted with LPS, but not with dsDNA, ssDNA or insulin. Scheid2011 (neutralization, antibody sequence, broad neutralizer)
VRC01: Broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity associated with VRC01-like antibodies was studied by isolation of VRC01-like neutralizers with CD4bs probe; structural definition of gp120 recognition by RSC3-identified antibodies from different donors; functional complementation of heavy and light chains among VRC01-like antibodies; identification of VRC01 antibodies by 454 pyrosequencing; and cross-donor phylogenetic analysis of sequences derived from the same precursor germline gene. VRC01 strongly bound to YU2 gp120 wild type and mutated proteins, HXB2 gp120 and antigenically resurfaced protein RSC3. All 10 antibodies isolated by RSC3 binding use the IGHV1-2*02 germline and accrue 70 to 90 nucleotide changes. The structure of VRC-PG04 in complex with gp120 showed striking similarity with the previously determined complex with VRC01, despite low sequence identity and different donors. Heavy- and light-chain cross-pairing chimeras of VRC01, VRC03, VRC-PG04, VRC-CH31 could neutralize up to 90% of 20 clade A, B and C viruses. Thousands of heavy and light chain sequences were found by 454 pyrosequencing, with the sequence identity to VRC01 and VRC02 heavy chains below 75%. Dozens chimeric antibodies obtained by pairing heavy-chain sequences with VRC03 and PG04 light chains and light-chain sequences with VRC01, VRC03,PG04 heavy chains displayed potent neutralization (up to 90%) of A, B and C clade viruses. Cross-donor phylogenetic analysis suggested that common maturation intermediates with 20 to 30 affinity maturation changes from IGHV1-2*02 genomic precursor are found in different individuals. These intermediates give rise to potent broadly neutralizing antibodies with 70-90 changes from IGHV1-2*02. Analysis presented in this study suggests stimulation the elicitation of these intermediates with modified gp120 can be employed for vaccine induced elicitation of VRC01-like antibodies. Wu2011 (neutralization, antibody sequence, structure)
VRC01: One Env clone (4–2.J45) obtained from a recently infected Indian patient (NARI-IVC4) had exceptional neutralization sensitivity compared to other Envs obtained at the same time point from the same patient. Both Envs expressing M424 and I424 showed comparable sensitivity to VRC01, possibly due to the fact that I424M did not impact conformational masking of VRC01 epitope. Ringe2011 (neutralization)
VRC01: Two SHIV-C mutants were designed: SHIV-1157ipEL-pΔ3N, a mutant of the early SHIV-1157ipEL-p which lacked the 3N residues in the V2 stem, and SHIV-1157ipd3N4+3N, a mutant of the late SHIV-1157ipd3N4 where 3N residues was added in the V2 stem. VRC01 neutralized and bound to all four SHIV-Cs with no significant differences. For VRC01, the movement of the V2 loop resulting from the deletion in the V2 stem does not mask the cognate epitope, implying that VRC01 is less sensitive than b12 to conformational masking by the V2 loop. Watkins2011 (neutralization, binding affinity)
VRC01: The characteristics of HIV-1-specific NAbs were evaluated in 100 breast-fed infants of HIV-1-positive mothers who were HIV-1 negative at birth and they were monitored until age 2. A panel of eight viruses that included variants representative of those in the study region as well as more diverse strains was used to determine the breadth of the infant NAbs. VRC01 had low neutralization potency for 1 (THRO4156.18) out of 8 pseudoviruses in the panel but high for the rest of them. For maternal variants, VRC01 had low neutralization potency for 1 (MK184.E4) out of 12 variants and high for the rest of them. Lynch2011 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, mother-to-infant transmission)
VRC01: The impact of specific changes at distal sites on antibody binding and neutralization was examined on Q461 variants. The changes at position 675 in conjunction with Thr to Ala at position 569 resulted in a dramatic increase in the neutralization sensitivity to some gp41 and gp120 MAbs and plasma but had less effect on the more potent MAb VRC01. There was an increase in VRC01 neutralization sensitivity to viruses with both mutations with intermediate effect for the individual mutants. Lovelace2011 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
VRC01: This review discusses recent rational structure-based approaches in HIV vaccine design that helped in understanding the link between Env antigenicity and immunogenicity. This MAb was mentioned in the context of immunogens based on the epitopes recognized by bNAbs. VRC01 displayed greater breadth and potency compared to b12. Walker2010a (neutralization, review)
VRC01: This review discusses current understanding of Env neutralization by antibodies in relation to epitope exposure and how this insight might benefit vaccine design strategies. This MAb is in the list of current MAbs with notable cross-neutralizing activity. Pantophlet2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, review)
VRC01: This review outlines the general structure of the gp160 viral envelope, the dynamics of viral entry, the evolution of humoral response, the mechanisms of viral escape and the characterization of broadly neutralizing Abs. It is noted that mAbs VRC01 and VRC02 are somatic variants of the same IgG1 clone and neutralize over 90 percent of circulating HIV-1 isolates.

VRC01: The review describes several different methods that have been used to isolate and characterize HIV MAbs within the human Ab repertoire. Relative advantages and limitations of methods such as EBV transformation, human hybridoma, non-immortalized B cell culture, combinatorial libraries from B cells and clonal sorting are discussed. Hammond2010 (review)
VRC01: This review summarizes novel techniques recently developed for isolation of broadly neutralizing monoclonal Abs from HIV-infected donors. Future challenges and importance of these techniques for development of HIV vaccines is also discussed. Burton2010 (review)
VRC01: The crystal structure for VRC01 in complex with an HIV-1 gp120 core from a clade A/E recombinant strain was analyzed to understand the structural basis for its neutralization breadth and potency. Crystal structure of Fab VRC01 in complex with gp120 was determined. VRC01 was shown to partially mimic CD4 interaction with gp120, with 73% of the CD4 N-terminal domain overlapping with VRC01 and 98% of the site of initial CD4 attachment covered by this Ab. VRC01 showed high affinity for both CD4-bound and non-CD4-bound conformations of gp120. Th source of most natural resistance to VRC01 was found to be variation in the V5 region and alternations in gp120 D-loop. Genomic precursors of VRC01 did not bind or neutralize virus. Thus, neutralization of HIV-1 by VRC01 was mediated through partial receptor mimicry and extensive affinity maturation. VRC01 was also shown to recognize N-linked glycan at position 276. Zhou2010 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
VRC01: This broadly neutralizing Ab was derived from B-cells from a donor that was screened for CD4bs mAbs with resurfaced stabilized core 3 (RSC3) protein. The protein was designed to preserve the antigenic structure of the gp120 CD4bs neutralizing surface but eliminate other antigenic regions of HIV-1. VRC01 neutralized 91% of 190 virus strains of different HIV-1 clades. VRC01 bound strongly to RSC3 and was highly somatically mutated. Binding of VRC01 to gp120 was competed by b12 and F105. Binding of 17b was markedly enhanced by the addition of VRC01.

NIH45-46: This study demonstrated that bNAb signatures can be utilized to engineer HIV-1 Env vaccine immunogens eliciting Ab responses with greater neutralization breadth. Data from four large virus panels were used to comprehensively map viral signatures associated with bNAb sensitivity, hypervariable region characteristics, and clade effects. The bNAb signatures defined for the V2 epitope region were then employed to inform immunogen design in a proof-of-concept exploration of signature-based epitope targeted (SET) vaccines. V2 bNAb signature-guided mutations were introduced into Env 459C to create a trivalent vaccine which resulted in increased breadth of NAb responses compared with Env 459C alone. NIH45-46 was used for analyzing clade sensitivity and the CD4bs signature summaries. Bricault2019 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, computational epitope prediction, broad neutralizer)
NIH45-46: This review discusses the identification of super-Abs, where and how such Abs may be best applied and future directions for the field. NIH45-46 was isolated from human B cell clones and is functionally similar to VRC01. Antigenic region CD4 binding site (Table:1). Walker2018 (antibody binding site, review, broad neutralizer)
NIH45-46: Polyreactive properties of natural and artificially engineered HIV-1 bNAbs were studied, with almost 60% of the tested HIV-1 bNAbs (including this one) exhibiting low to high polyreactivity in different immunoassays. A previously unappreciated polyreactive binding for PGT121, PGT128, NIH45-46W, m2, and m7 was reported. Binding affinity, thermodynamic, and molecular dynamics analyses revealed that the co-emergence of enhanced neutralizing capacities and polyreactivity was due to an intrinsic conformational flexibility of the antigen-binding sites of bNAbs, allowing a better accommodation of divergent HIV-1 Env variants. Prigent2018 (antibody polyreactivity)
NIH45-46: The first cryo-EM structure of a cross-linked vaccine antigen was solved. The 4.2 Å structure of HIV-1 BG505 SOSIP soluble recombinant Env in complex with a bNAb PGV04 Fab fragment revealed how cross-linking affects key properties of the trimer. SOSIP and GLA-SOSIP trimers were compared for antigenicity by ELISA, using a large panel of mAbs previously determined to react with BG505 Env. Non-NAbs globally lost reactivity (7-fold median loss of binding), likely because of covalent stabilization of the cross-linked ‘closed’ form of the GLA-SOSIP trimer that binds non-NAbs weakly or not at all. V3-specific non-NAbs showed 2.1–3.3-fold reduced binding. Three autologous rabbit monoclonal NAbs to the N241/N289 ‘glycan-hole’ surface, showed a median ˜1.5-fold reduction in binding. V3 non-NAb 4025 showed residual binding to the GLA-SOSIP trimer. By contrast, bNAbs like NIH45-46 broadly retained reactivity significantly better than non-NAbs, with exception of PGT145 (3.3-5.3 fold loss of binding in ELISA and SPR). Schiffner2018 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
NIH45-46: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. NIH45-46 is polyreactive, but not autoreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
NIH45-46: Env from of a highly neutralization-resistant isolate, CH120.6, was shown to be very stable and conformationally-homogeneous. Its gp140 trimer retains many antigenic properties of the intact Env, while its monomeric gp120 exposes more epitopes. Thus trimer organization and stability are important determinants for occluding epitopes and conferring resistance to antibodies. Among a panel of 21 mAbs, CH120.6 was resistant to neutralization by all non-neutralizing and strain-specific mAbs, regardless of the location of their epitopes. It was weakly neutralized by several broadly-neutralizing mAbs (VRC01, NIH45-46, 12A12, PG9, PG16, PGT128, 4E10, and 10E8), and well neutralized by only 2 (PGT145 and 10-1074). Cai2017 (neutralization)
NIH45-46: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
NIH45-46: Two stable homogenous gp140 Env trimer spikes, Clade A 92UG037.8 Env and Clade C C97ZA012 Env, were identified. 293T cells stably transfected with either presented fully functional surface timers, 50% of which were uncleaved. A panel of neutralizing and non-neutralizing Abs were tested for binding to the trimers. Consistent with CD4bs bNAbs, NIH45-46 bound cell surface tightly whether the trimer contained its C-terminal or not, and was competed out by sCD4. It was able to neutralize the 92UG037.8 HIV-1 isolate. Chen2015 (neutralization, binding affinity)
NIH45-46: A comprehensive antigenic map of the cleaved trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 was made by bNAb cross-competition. Epitope clusters at the CD4bs, quaternary V1/V2 glycan, N332-oligomannose patch and new gp120-gp41 interface and their interactions were delineated. Epitope overlap, proximal steric inhibition, allosteric inhibition or reorientation of glycans were seen in Ab cross-competition. Thus bNAb binding to trimers can affect surfaces beyond their epitopes. As with CD4bs binding bNAbs, NIH45-46 is inhibited by sCD4. It enhanced binding of several V1/V2-glycan, V3-glycan or outer domain (OD)-glycan bNAbs; and also modestly enhanced binding of non-NAb, 17b. OD-glycan bNAbs, PGT135 and PGT136, though ˜ 5x less efficient binders of trimer, were able to unidirectionally inhibit binding of NIH45-46, as also other CD4bs bNAbs, VRC01, 2BNC60, 3BNC117. Derking2015 (antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
NIH45-46: Two clade C recombinant Env glycoprotein trimers, DU422 and ZM197M, with native-like structural and antigenic properties involving epitopes for all known classes of bNAbs, were produced and characterized. These Clade C trimers (10-15% of which are in a partially open form) were more like B41 Clade B trimers which have 50-75% trimers in the partially open configuration than like B505 Clade B trimers, almost 100% in the closed, prefusion state. The Clade C trimers have high affinity for bNAb NIH45-46, and the structure of a complex of ZM197M SOSIP.664 with NIH45-46 single-chain Fv at 4.4 A by X-ray crystallography had a 0.95 correlation with the structure of the Clade A trimer. Julien2015 (assay or method development, structure)
NIH45-46: Env trimer BG505 SOSIP.664 as well as the clade B trimer B41 SOSIP.664 were stabilized using a bifunctional aldehyde (glutaraldehye, GLA) or a heterobifunctional cross-linker, EDC/NHS with modest effects on antigenicity and barely any on biochemistry or structural morphology. ELISA, DSC and SPR were used to test recognition of the trimers by bNAbs, which was preserved and by weakly NAbs or non-NAbs, which was reduced. Cross-linking partially preserves quaternary morphology so that affinity chromatography by positive selection using quaternary epitope-specific bNAabs, and negative selection using non-NAbs, enriched antigenic characteristics of the trimers. Binding of the anti-CD4bs bNAb NIH45-46 to trimers was minimally affected by trimer cross-linking. Schiffner2016 (assay or method development, binding affinity, structure)
NIH45-46: A new trimeric immunogen, BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, was developed that bound and activated most known neutralizing antibodies but generally did not bind antibodies lacking neuralizing activity. This highly stable immunogen mimics the Env spike of subtype A transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strain, BG505. Anti-CD4bs bNAb NIH45-46 neutralized BG505.T332N, the pseudoviral equivalent of the immunogen BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, and was shown to recognize and bind the immunogen too. Sanders2013 (assay or method development, neutralization, binding affinity)
NIH45-46: VRC01-class bNAb like NIH45-46 protects animals from experimental infection and could contribute to an effective vaccine response. Their predicted germline forms (gl) bind Env inefficiently, which may explain why they are not elicited by HIV-1 Env-immunization. This paper describes modifications that expand the glVRC01-class antibody-recognition potential of the 426c Env. McGuire2016 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: A subset of bNAbs that inhibit both cell-free and cell-mediated infection in primary CD4+ lymphocytes have been identified. These antibodies target either the CD4-binding site or the glycan/V3 loop on HIV-1 gp120 and act at low concentrations by inhibiting multiple steps of viral cell to cell transmission. This property of blocking viral transmission to plasmacytoid DCs and interfering with type-I IFN production should be considered an important characteristic defining the potency for therapeutic or prophylactic antiviral strategies. NIH45-46 was the most active antibody preventing the cell to cell transmission of virus. Malbec2013
NIH45-46: The human Ab gene repertoires of uninfected and HIV-1-infected individuals were studied at genomic DNA (gDNA) and cDNA levels to determine the frequencies of putative germline Ab genes of known HIV-1 bnAbs. All libraries were deep sequenced and analysed using IMGT/HighV-QUEST software (http://imgt.org/HighV-QUEST/index. The human gDNA Ab libraries were more diverse in heavy and light chain V-gene lineage usage than the cDNA libraries. This implied that the human gDNA Ab gene repertoires may have more potential than the cDNA repertoires to develop HIV-1 bnmAbs. Relatively high frequencies of the VH and VKs and VLs that used the same V-genes and had the same CDR3 lengths as known HIV-1 bnmAbs regardless of (D)J-gene usage. The putative germline genes were determined for a set of mAbs (b12, VRC01, VRC03, NIH45-46, 3BNC60, PG9, PGT127, and X5). Zhang2013 (antibody lineage, germline)
NIH45-46: This study presented structures of germline-reverted VRC01-class bNAbs alone and complexed with 426c-based gp120 immunogens. Germline bNAb–426c gp120 complexes showed preservation of VRC01-class signature residues and gp120 contacts, but detectably different binding modes compared to mature bNAb-gp120 complexes. It reported that unlike most antibodies, the overall final structures of VRC01 class antibodies are formed before the antibodies mature. NIH45-46GL make all predicted HC VRC01-class signature contacts with the CD4-binding loop, the V5 loop, and loop D to bind to gp120. Scharf2016 (structure)
NIH45-46: A panel of antibodies was tested for binding, stability, and ADCC activity on HIV-infected cells. The differences in killing efficiency were linked to changes in binding of the antibody and the accessibility of the Fc region when bound to infected cells. Ab NIH45-46 had strong ADCC. Bruel2016 (ADCC, binding affinity)
NIH45-46: The rate of maturation and extent of diversity for the VRC01 lineage were characterized through longitudinal sampling of peripheral B cell transcripts from donor 45 over 15 years and co-crystal structures. VRC01-lineage clades underwent continuous evolution, with rates of ˜2 substitutions per 100 nucleotides per year, comparable with HIV-1 evolution. 39 VRC01-lineage Abs segregated into three major clades, and all Abs from donor 45 contained a cysteine at position 98 (99 in some sequences due to a 1-aa insertion) which was used as a signature to assess membership in the VRC01 lineage. Of 1,041 curated NGS sequences assigned to the VRC01 lineage, six did not contain the cysteine while 1,035 did (99.4%). NIH45-46 appeared to be somatic variants from a single VRC01 lineage. Wu2015 (antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: HIV-1 strains were isolated from 60 patients infected with CRFs 01_AE, 07_BC, and 08_BC. Eight CRF01 strains that produced high-titer Env pseudoviruses were studied further. All were sensitive to neutralization by VRC01, PG9, PG16, and NIH45-46, but insensitive to 2G12. CNAE08,CNAE14, CNAE17, and CNAE31 were all shown to be highly resistant to NIH45-46.

NIH45-46: Vectored Immuno Prophylaxis (VIP), involves passive immunization by viral vector-mediated delivery of genes encoding bnAbs for in vivo expression. Robust protection against virus infection was observed in preclinical settings when animals were given VIP to express monoclonal neutralizing Abs. This review article surveyed the status of antibody gene transfer, VIP experiments against HIV and its related virus conduced in humanized mice and macaque monkeys, and discuss the pros and cons of VIP and its opportunities and challenges towards clinical applications to control HIV/AIDS endemics. Yang2014 (immunoprophylaxis, review, antibody gene transfer)
NIH45-46: The study compared various factors affecting the accessibility of epitopes for antibodies targeting the V2 integrin (V2i) region, versus the V3 region. CD4 treament of BaL and JRFL pseudoviruses increased their neutralization sensitivity to V3 MAbs, but not to V2i MAbs. Viruses grown in a glycosidase inhibitor were more sensitive to neutralization by V3, but not V2i, MAbs. Increasing the time of virus-MAb interaction increased virus neutralization by some V2i MAbs and all V3 MAbs. The structural dynamics of V2i and V3 epitopes has important effects in neutralization. Some experiments also included CD4BS antibodies b12, 2G12 and NIH45-46. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
NIH45-46: A set of potent VRC01-like (PVL) MAbs were generated from VRC01-derivatve NIH45-46^G54W and they were more potent than even NIH45-46 or NIH45-46^G54W, cross-recognizing viruses across clades. The novel antibodies designed based on crystal structure were NIH45-46m2, NIH45-46m7, NIH45-46m25 and NIH45-46m28, with NIH45-46m2 being the single most broad and potent antibody till date. 45-46m2 and 45-46m7 in combination with each other and a third antibody were able to thwart viral escape routes. Diskin2013 (antibody generation, variant cross-reactivity, structure)
NIH45-46: Envs from clades A, B and C were screened for binding to the germline predecessors of anti-CD4bs bNAbs b12, NIH45-46 and 3BNC60. Mature Abs reacted with diverse Envs, but not the germ-line Abs. Engineered chimeric Abs with mature and germ-line heavy and light chain combinations showed the importance of both mature chains for the cross-reactivity. Hoot2013 (antibody lineage, chimeric antibody)
NIH45-46: The structures of germline Ab VH1-2*02 alone and a chimeric germline heavy chain/mature light chain NIH45-46 MAb complexed with gp120 are reported. VH1-2*02 residues make extensive contacts, but not the critical CDRH3 contacts with gp120 inner domain, which confer improved potency to NIH45-46. Scharf2013 (structure)
NIH45-46: Next generation sequencing was applied to a new donor C38 (different from donor NIH45) to identify VRC01 class bNAbs. VRC01 class heavy chains were selected through a cross-donor phylogenetic analysis. VRC01 class light chains were identified through a five-amino-acid sequence motif. (CDR L3 length of 5 amino acids and Q or E at position 96 (Kabat numbering) or position 4 within the CDR L3 sequence.) NIH45-46 was used to compare the heavy & light chain sequences as a template of VRC01 class Ab. Zhu2013a (antibody sequence)
NIH45-46: This is a review of a satellite symposium at the AIDS Vaccine 2012 conference, focusing on antibody gene transfer. Pamela Bjorkman presented studies that have used structure-based design to improve the potency of antibodies to the CD4-binding site on gp120, as well as to overcome the common escape mutations the virus acquires to evade such antibodies. MAb 45-46m2, neutralized 96% of HIV strains in a cross-clade panel and neutralized a set of viral isolates resistant to all other known broadly neutralizing antibodies. A second variant, 45-46m7, designed to thwart resistance to the engineered antibody NIH45-46G54W, restores the neutralization of consensus escape mutants and thus effectively targets a common route of viral escape from this class of antibodies. Michel Nussenzweig presented studies exploring the possibility that antibodies might also be used to treat established infections. They found that combinations of five broadly neutralizing antibodies NIH45-46G54W, PG16, PGT128, 10-1074 and 3BC176 MAbs, controlled HIV-1 infection and suppressed the viral load to below the limit of detection during the entire therapy period of up to 60 days. Balazs2013 (immunoprophylaxis, immunotherapy)
NIH45-46: A computational method to predict Ab epitopes at the residue level, based on structure and neutralization panels of diverse viral strains has been described. This method was evaluated using 19 Env-Abs, NIH45-46, against 181 diverse HIV-1 strains with available Ab-Ag complex structures. Chuang2013 (computational epitope prediction)
NIH45-46: "Neutralization fingerprints" for 30 neutralizing antibodies were determined using a panel of 34 diverse HIV-1 strains. 10 antibody clusters were defined: VRC01-like, PG9-like, PGT128-like, 2F5-like, 10E8-like and separate clusters for b12, CD4, 2G12, HJ16, 8ANC195. This mAb belongs to VRC01-like cluster. Georgiev2013 (neutralization)
NIH45-46: Systematic computational analyses of gp120 plasticity and conformational transition in complexes with CD4 binding fragments, mimetic proteins and Ab fragments is described to explain the molecular mechanisms by which gp120 interacts with the CD4bs at local and subdomain levels. An isotopic elastic network analysis, a full atomic normal mode analysis and simulation of conformational transitions were used to compare the gp120 structures in CD4 bound and Ab-bound states. NIH45-46 was mentioned in the context of CD4 binding sites. Korkut2012 (structure)
NIH45-46: A computational tool (Antibody Database) identifying Env residues affecting antibody activity was developed. As input, the tool incorporates antibody neutralization data from large published pseudovirus panels, corresponding viral sequence data and available structural information. The model consists of a set of rules that provide an estimated IC₅₀ based on Env sequence data, and important residues are found by minimizing the difference between logarithms of actual and estimated IC₅₀. The program was validated by analysis of MAb 8ANC195, which had unknown specificity. Predicted critical N-glycosylation for 8ANC195 were confirmed in vitro and in humanized mice. The key associated residues for each MAb are summarized in the Table 1 of the paper and also in the Neutralizing Antibody Contexts & Features tool at Los Alamos Immunology Database. West2013 (glycosylation, computational epitope prediction)
NIH45-46: Identification of broadly neutralizing antibodies, their epitopes on the HIV-1 spike, the molecular basis for their remarkable breadth, and the B cell ontogenies of their generation and maturation are reviewed. Ontogeny and structure-based classification is presented, based on MAb binding site, type (structural mode of recognition), class (related ontogenies in separate donors) and family (clonal lineage). This MAb's classification: gp120 CD4-binding site, CD4-mimicry by heavy chain, VRC01 class, VRC01 family. Kwong2012 (review, structure, broad neutralizer)
NIH45-46: This review discusses how analysis of infection and vaccine candidate-induced antibodies and their genes may guide vaccine design. This MAb is listed as CD4 binding site bnAb, isolated after 2009 by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and 454 deep sequencing. Bonsignori2012b (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, review)
NIH45-46: Somatic hypermutations are preferably found in CDR loops, which alter the Ab combining sites, but not the overall structure of the variable domain. FWR of CDR are usually resistant to and less tolerant of mutations. This study reports that most bnAbs require somatic mutations in the FWRs which provide flexibility, increasing Ab breadth and potency. To determine the consequence of FWR mutations the framework residues were reverted to the Ab's germline counterpart (FWR-GL) and binding and neutralizing properties were then evaluated. NIH45-46, a CD4Bs Ab, was among the 17 bnAbs which were used in studying the mutations in FWR. NIH 45-46 was used in comparing the Ab framework amino acid replacement vs. interactive surface area on Ab. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: This study shows that Env immunogens fail to engage the germline-reverted forms of known bnAbs that target CD4BS. However, the elimination of a conserved NLGS at Asn276 in Loop D and the NLGS at positions 460 and 463, located in variable region 5 of Env increased the binding and activation of VRC01 and NIH45-46. This study showed that elimination of NLGS from these regions of Clade C Env 426c increases NIH45-46 binding. McGuire2013 (neutralization, antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: Computational and crystallographic analysis and in vitro screening were employed to design a gp120 outer domain immunogen (eOD-GT6) that could bind to VRC01-class bNAbs and to their germline precursors. When multimerized on nanoparticles, eOD-GT6 activated germline and mature VRC01-class B cells and thus can be a promising vaccine prime. eOD-GT6 had 10 mutations relative to HXB2. Removal of glycans at positions 276 and 463 was necessary for GL affinity and removal of glycans at positions 386 and 403 also improved affinity. T278R, I371F, N460V are involved in the binding interface. L260F, K357R, G471S stabilize loops involved in the interface. eOD-GT6 bound both NIH45-46 mature and germline antibodies. Jardine2013 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design, structure, antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: Concomitant virus evolution and antibody maturation, leading to induction of a lineage of broadly neutralizing antibodies CH103-CH106, were followed in an African patient CH505 for 34 months from the time of infection. Compared to 30-36% VRC01, CH31 and NIH45-46 mutation frequencies of the published CD4 binding sites, CH103-CH106 exhibited 13-17% mutations. Liao2013 (broad neutralizer)
NIH45-46: Existing structural and sequence data was analyzed. A set of signature features for potent VRC01-like (PVL) and almost PVL abs was proposed and verified by mutagenesis. NIH45-46 has been referred as a PVL in discussing the breadth and potency of antiCD4 abs. Sequences of VRC01, NIH45-46 and VRC-PG04 revealed a striking correlation for the length of CDRL3 (5 residues). West2012a (antibody lineage)
NIH45-46: The use of computationally derived B cell clonal lineages as templates for HIV-1 immunogen design is discussed. NIH45046 has been discussed in terms of immunogenic and functional characteristics of representative HIV-1 BnAbs and their reactions to antigens. Haynes2012 (antibody interactions, memory cells, vaccine antigen design, review, antibody polyreactivity, broad neutralizer)
45-46: Several antibodies including 10-1074 were isolated from B-cell clone encoding PGT121, from a clade A-infected African donor using YU-2 gp140 trimers as bait. These antibodies were segregated into PGT121-like (PGT121-123 and 9 members) and 10-1074-like (20 members) groups distinguished by sequence, binding affinity, carbohydrate recognition, neutralizing activity, the V3 loop binding and the role of glycans in epitope formation. 45-46 was used as a control in virus neutralization assay. Detail information on the binding and neutralization assays are described in the figures S2-S11. Mouquet2012a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
NIH45-46: Neutralization activity was compared against MAb 10E8 and other broad and potent neutralizers in a 181-isolate Env-pseudovirus panel. 2F5 neutralized 85% of viruses at IC50<50 μg/ml and 76% of viruses at IC50<1 μg/ml, compared with 98% and 72% of MAb 10E8, respectively. Huang2012a (neutralization)
NIH45-46: The sera of 113 HIV-1 seroconverters from three cohorts were analyzed for binding to a set of well-characterized gp120 core and resurfaced stabilized core (RSC3) protein probes, and their cognate CD4bs knockout mutants. NIH45-46 bound very strongly to the gp120 core and RSC3, weakly bound to RSC3/G367R but did not bind to gp120 core D368R, RSC3 Δ3711, and RSC3 Δ3711/P363N. Lynch2012 (binding affinity)
NIH45-46: The crystal structure of the NIH45-46–gp120 complex verified that NIH45-46 targets the CD4bs. The primary binding surface is the outer domain, including the CD4 binding loop, loop D, and loop V5, but CDRH3_NIH45-46 reaches toward the gp120 inner domain. The most notable difference between NIH45-46 and VRC01 is the four-residue insertion in CDRH3 (residues 99a-99d), which contributes to increased interaction between NIH45-46 and the gp120 inner domain, correlated with enhanced neutralization. Structure-based design was used to create several NIH45-46 mutants with a single substitution at position 54 in CDRH2 to increase contact with the gp120 bridging sheet. NIH45-46_G54W was significantly more potent than NIH45-46_G54. On a panel of 82 viruses from all clades, including NIH45-46-sensitive, resistant and weakly neutralized strains, NIH45-46_G54W gained de novo neutralization activity against 6 NIH45-46–resistant strains, including 3 that were sensitive to VRC01 but resistant to NIH45-46, and for some strains that NIH45-46 neutralizes poorly, NIH45-46_G54W was significantly more potent. Diskin2011 (antibody binding site, neutralization, structure)
NIH45-46: 576 new HIV antibodies were cloned from 4 unrelated individuals producing expanded clones of potent broadly neutralizing CD4bs antibodies that bind to 2CC core. In order to amplify highly somatically mutated immunoglobulin genes, new primer set with 5' primer set further upstream from the potentially mutated region was used. Despite extensive hypermutation, the new antibodies shared a consensus sequence of 68 IgH chain amino acids and arose independently from two related IgH genes. NIH45-46, a new more potent clonal variant of VRC01, arises from IgVH1-2 and IgVK3-11 germline genes and neutralized 100% of 118 isolates representing major HIV-1 clades, with IC50<50μg/ml. NIH45-46 was more potent than VRC01 on 62 of the viruses tested but still less potent than 3BNC117. NIH45-46 was polyreactive - reacted with dsDNA, LPS, ssDNA and insulin.

NIH45-46G54W: Novel Env pseudoviruses were derived from 22 patients in China infected with subtype CRF01_AE viruses. Neutralization IC50 was determined for 11 bNAbs: VRC01, NIH45-46G54W, 3BNC117, PG9, PG16, 2G12, PGT121, 10-1074, 2F5, 4E10, and 10E8. The CRF01_AE pseudoviruses exhibited different susceptibility to these bNAbs. Overall, 4E10, 10E8, and 3BNC117 neutralized all 22 env-pseudotyped viruses, followed by NIH45-46G54W and VRC01, which neutralized more than 90% of the viruses. 2F5, PG9, and PG16 showed only moderate breadth, while the other three bNAbs neutralized none of these pseudoviruses. Specifically, 10E8, NIH45-46G54Wand 3BNC117 showed the highest efficiency, combining neutralization potency and breadth. Mutations at position 160, 169, 171 were associated with resistance to PG9 and PG16, while loss of a potential glycan at position 332 conferred insensitivity to V3-glycan-targeting bNAbs. These results may help in choosing bNAbs that can be used preferentially for prophylactic or therapeutic approaches in China. Wang2018a (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
NIH45-46-G54W: This study demonstrated that bNAb signatures can be utilized to engineer HIV-1 Env vaccine immunogens eliciting Ab responses with greater neutralization breadth. Data from four large virus panels were used to comprehensively map viral signatures associated with bNAb sensitivity, hypervariable region characteristics, and clade effects. The bNAb signatures defined for the V2 epitope region were then employed to inform immunogen design in a proof-of-concept exploration of signature-based epitope targeted (SET) vaccines. V2 bNAb signature-guided mutations were introduced into Env 459C to create a trivalent vaccine which resulted in increased breadth of NAb responses compared with Env 459C alone. NIH45-46-G54W was used for analyzing clade sensitivity, structural mapping and analyses of CD4bs Ab signatures. Bricault2019 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, computational epitope prediction, broad neutralizer)
NIH45-46W: Polyreactive properties of natural and artificially engineered HIV-1 bNAbs were studied, with almost 60% of the tested HIV-1 bNAbs (including this one) exhibiting low to high polyreactivity in different immunoassays. A previously unappreciated polyreactive binding for PGT121, PGT128, NIH45-46W, m2, and m7 was reported. Binding affinity, thermodynamic, and molecular dynamics analyses revealed that the co-emergence of enhanced neutralizing capacities and polyreactivity was due to an intrinsic conformational flexibility of the antigen-binding sites of bNAbs, allowing a better accommodation of divergent HIV-1 Env variants. Prigent2018 (antibody polyreactivity)
NIH45-46G54W: A panel of bnAbs were studied to assess ongoing adaptation of the HIV-1 species to the humoral immunity of the human population. Resistance to neutralization is increasing over time, but concerns only the external glycoprotein gp120, not the MPER, suggesting a high selective pressure on gp120. Almost all the identified major neutralization epitopes of gp120 are affected by this antigenic drift, suggesting that gp120 as a whole has progressively evolved in less than 3 decades. Bouvin-Pley2014 (neutralization)
NIH45-46G54W: In neutralization assays of antibody mixtures, there was a modest synergy between the CD4bs VRC01 and either of the two CD4i MAbs E51 and 412d. The synergy is likely the result of the ability of CD4i antibodies (E51 or 412d) to induce the open state and facilitate access to the CD4 binding site. The presence of E51 enhanced the Env binding of VRC01, NIH45-46, NIH45-46^G54W, and to a lesser extent 3BNC117. Gardner2016 (antibody interactions)
NIH45-46G54W: Two clade C recombinant Env glycoprotein trimers, DU422 and ZM197M, with native-like structural and antigenic properties involving epitopes for all known classes of bNAbs, were produced and characterized. These Clade C trimers (10-15% of which are in a partially open form) were more like B41 Clade B trimers which have 50-75% trimers in the partially open configuration than like B505 Clade B trimers, almost 100% in the closed, prefusion state. The Clade C trimer ZM197M binds strongly to the CD4bs bNAb 45-46W but trimer DU442 and its pseudotyped virus as well as ZM197M pseudotyped virus are non-reactive or barely reactive to 45-46W. Julien2015 (assay or method development, structure)
NIH45-46G54W: A new trimeric immunogen, BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, was developed that bound and activated most known neutralizing antibodies but generally did not bind antibodies lacking neuralizing activity. This highly stable immunogen mimics the Env spike of subtype A transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strain, BG505. Anti-CD4bs bNAb 45-46W neutralized BG505.T332N, the pseudoviral equivalent of the immunogen BG505 SOSIP.664 gp140, and was shown to recognize and bind the immunogen too. Sanders2013 (assay or method development, neutralization, binding affinity)
NIH45-46G54W: This review discusses an array of methods to engineer more effective bNAbs for immunotherapy. Antibody NIH45-46G54W is an example of engineering through rational mutations; its neutralization is improved by improving hydophobic interactions. It is also an example of rational mutations used to decrease polyreactivity or aggregation propensity. Hua2016 (immunotherapy, review)
NIH45-46G54W: This study examined the neutralization of group N, O, and P primary isolates of HIV-1 by diverse antibodies. Cross-group neutralization was observed only with the bNAbs targeting the N160 glycan-V1/V2 site. Four group O isolates, 1 group N isolate, and the group P isolates were neutralized by PG9 and/or PG16 or PGT145 at low concentrations. None of the non-M primary isolates were neutralized by bNAbs targeting other regions, except 10E8, which weakly neutralized 2 group N isolates, and 35O22 which neutralized 1 group O isolate. Bispecific bNAbs (PG9-iMab and PG16-iMab) very efficiently neutralized all non-M isolates with IC₅₀ below 1 ug/mL, except for 2 group O strains. Anti-CD4bs bNAb NIH45-46^G54W was able to neutralize only 1/16 tested non-M primary isolates at an IC₅₀< 10µg/ml, RBF208,M/O at 1.5 µg/ml. Morgand2015 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
NIH45-46G54W: This review summarized bNAb immunotherapy studies. Several bnAbs have been shown to decrease viremia in vivo, and are a prospect for preventative vaccinations. bNAbs have 3 possible immune effector functions: (1) directly neutralizing virions, (2) mediating anti-viral activity through Fc-FcR interactions, and (3) binding to viral antigen to be taken up by dendritic cells. In contrast to anti-HIV mAbs, antibodies against host cell CD4 and CCR5 receptors (iMab and PRO 140) are hindered by their short half-life in vivo. MAb NIH45-46^G54W has been associated with viral suppression in a study of humanized mice. Halper-Stromberg2016 (immunotherapy, review)
NIH45-46^G54W: Study evaluated 4 gp140 Env protein vaccine immunogens derived from an elite neutralizer donor VC10042, an HIV+ African American male from Vanderbilt cohort. Env immunogens, VC10042.05, VC10042.05RM, VC10042.08 and VC10042.ela, elicited high titers of cross-reactive Abs recognizing V1/V2 regions. VC10042 showed moderate sensitivity to NIH45-46^G54W. Carbonetti2014 (elite controllers, vaccine-induced immune responses)
NIH45-46G54W: A set of potent VRC01-like (PVL) MAbs were generated from VRC01-derivatve NIH45-46^G54W and they were more potent than even NIH45-46 or NIH45-46^G54W, cross-recognizing viruses across clades. The novel antibodies designed based on crystal structure were NIH45-46m2, NIH45-46m7, NIH45-46m25 and NIH45-46m28, with NIH45-46m2 being the single most broad and potent antibody till date. 45-46m2 and 45-46m7 in combination with each other and a third antibody were able to thwart viral escape routes. Diskin2013 (antibody generation, variant cross-reactivity, structure)
NIH45-46W: Neutralizing antibody response was studied in elite controller. Subject VC10042 is an African American male, infected with clade B for 2 decades (since 1984) without any signs of disease and no antiretroviral treatment. The neutralizing activity of autologous CD4bs NAbs was very similar to that of NIH45-46W, but very different from other anti-CD4bs MAbs tested. The viral autologous variants that were resistant to neutralization by autologous and most bnMAbs tested had an extremely rare R272/N368 combination. This mutation was shown in the study to impart a fitness cost to the virus. Sather2012 (autologous responses, elite controllers, neutralization, escape, polyclonal antibodies)
NIH45-46W: Neutralization profiles of 7 bnAbs were analyzed against 45 Envs (A, C, D clades), obtained soon after infection (median 59 days). The transmitted variants have distinct characteristics compared to variants from chronic patients, such as shorter variable loops and fewer potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGS). NIG45-46W neutralized 91% of these viruses. PGT128 and NIH45-46W did not compete for neutralization and a combination of these MAbs neutralized 96% of these viruses, with PGT121 neutralizing the only 2 viruses not neutralized by this combination. This suggests that optimal neutralization coverage of transmitted variants can be achieved by combining a potent CD4bs NAb with one or more glycan-dependent MAbs. Goo2012 (antibody interactions, neutralization, rate of progression)
NIH45-46G54W: A computational tool (Antibody Database) identifying Env residues affecting antibody activity was developed. As input, the tool incorporates antibody neutralization data from large published pseudovirus panels, corresponding viral sequence data and available structural information. The model consists of a set of rules that provide an estimated IC₅₀ based on Env sequence data, and important residues are found by minimizing the difference between logarithms of actual and estimated IC₅₀. The program was validated by analysis of MAb 8ANC195, which had unknown specificity. Predicted critical N-glycosylation for 8ANC195 were confirmed in vitro and in humanized mice. The key associated residues for each MAb are summarized in the Table 1 of the paper and also in the Neutralizing Antibody Contexts & Features tool at Los Alamos Immunology Database. West2013 (glycosylation, computational epitope prediction)
45-46W: HIV therapy by combinations of 5 bNAbs was tested in YU2-infected humanized mice. Penta-mix (PG16, 45-46W, 3BC176, PGT128 and 10-1074) was the most effective in controlling viraemia compared to tri-mix (PG16, 45-46, 3BC176) and monotherapy (Fig S9). Viral escape with 45-46W monotherapy was associated with mutations at residues 276-281, 458 or 459, located in or near the CD4bs. The viruses from the mice that rebounded after tri-mix therapy either did not have bNAbs-associated mutations or had K28R mapped to NIH45-46W or N162P mapped to PG16, but not both. Klein2012a (immunotherapy)
45-46W: Several antibodies including 10-1074 were isolated from B-cell clone encoding PGT121, from a clade A-infected African donor using YU-2 gp140 trimers as bait. These antibodies were segregated into PGT121-like (PGT121-123 and 9 members) and 10-1074-like (20 members) groups distinguished by sequence, binding affinity, carbohydrate recognition, neutralizing activity, the V3 loop binding and the role of glycans in epitope formation. 45-46W was used as a control in virus neutralization assay. Detail information on the binding and neutralization assays are described in the figures S2-S11. Mouquet2012a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
NIH45-46G54W: NIH45-46 is a potent clonal variant of VRC01. Structure-based design was used to create NIH45-46 mutants with a single substitution at position 54 in CDRH2 to increase contact with the gp120 bridging sheet. NIH45-46_G54W was significantly more potent than NIH45-46. On a panel of 82 viruses from all clades, NIH45-46_G54W showed de novo neutralization activity against 6 NIH45-46–resistant strains, including 3 that were sensitive to VRC01 but resistant to NIH45-46. For some strains that NIH45-46 neutralizes poorly, NIH45-46_G54W was significantly more potent. Diskin2011 (antibody generation, neutralization, binding affinity)
