697-D: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
697-D: 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)
697-D: 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. The V2i MAbs tested were: 697, 830A, 1357, 1361, 1393, 2158, and 2297. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
697-3D: The infectious virion (iVirions) capture index (IVCI) of different Abs have been determined. bnAbs captured higher proportions of iVirions compared to total virus particles (rVirions) indicating the capacity, breadth and selectively of bnAbs to capture iVirions. IVCI was additive with a mixture of Abs, providing proof of concept for vaccine-induced effect of improved capacity. MAb 697-30D showed 20% capacity. Liu2014 (binding affinity)
697-D: Four V2 MAbs CH58, CH59, HG107 and HG120 were isolated from RV144 Thai HIV-1 vaccinees. These MAbs recognized residue 169, neutralized laboratory HIV-1 (tier 1 strains) and mediated ADCC. 697D was used in the study as a V2 conformational mAb control to study the binding of the new mAb isolates. Liao2013b (ADCC)
697-D: This study characterized the Elisa cross-reactivity, neutralization, and Ig variable genes of a panel of 7 anti-V2 mAbs: 1361, 1393A, 1357, 697, 830A, 2158, and 2297. Despite sequence variability, the 7 mAbs recognize conserved immunologic features of V2, with 6 of them targeting similar epitopes. The crystal structure of the mAb 697 binding site was determined. Gorny2012 (neutralization, structure)
697-D: This study analyzed the neutralization sensitivity of sequential HIV-1 primary isolates during their natural evolution in 5 subtype B and CRF02_AG HIV-1 infected drug naive individuals to 13 anti-HIV-1 MAbs (including this MAb) directed at epitopes in the V2, V3, CD4bd and carbohydrates. Patient viruses evolved to become more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed at epitopes at V2, V3 and CDbd, indicating that cross sectional studies are inadequate to define the neutralization spectrum of MAb neutralization with primary HIV-1 isolates. Haldar2011 (neutralization)
697-D: gp120 in complex with 697-D had higher reactivity with 694/98-D compared to the uncomplexed gp120. Hioe2009 (binding affinity)
697-D: This review summarizes 697-D Ab epitope, properties and neutralization activity. Kramer2007 (review)
697-D: The study evaluated the influence of glycosylation within the V1/V2 domain on antibody recognition. Recombinant proteins, demonstrated to be folded in native conformation, were produced following transfection of CHO cells by plasmids expressing V1/V2 domains from primary isolates of different clades. This Ab was used to validate the functional structure of the recombinant proteins produced. Granados-Gonzalez2008
697-D: Point mutations in the highly conserved structural motif LLP-2 within the intracytoplasmic tail of gp41 resulted in conformational alternations of both gp41 and gp120. The alternations did not affect virus CD4 binding, coreceptor binding site exposure, or infectivity of the virus, but did result in decreased binding and neutralization by certain MAbs and human sera. 697-30D showed a decrease in binding to the LLP-2 mutant compared to the wildtype virus, indicating that its epitope was altered by the mutation. Kalia2005 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
697-D: 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, review)
697-D: This Ab did not inhibit HIV-1 BaL replication in macrophages or in PHA-stimulated PBMCs. Holl2006 (neutralization, dendritic cells)
697-D: Antigens were designed to attempt to target immune responses toward the IgG1b12 epitope, while minimizing antibody responses to less desirable epitopes. One construct had a series of substitutions near the CD4 binding site (GDMR), the other had 7 additional glycans (mCHO). The 2 constructs did not elicit b12-like neutralizing antibodies, but both antigens successfully dampened other responses that were intended to be dampened while not obscuring b12 binding. V2 MAb 697-D did not bind to mCHO and had diminished binding to GDMR, while V2 MAb 8.22.2 bound to GDMR but not mCHO. Selvarajah2005 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses)
697-D: In a review of Envelope binding MAbs in this database, V2-specific MAbs are noted to have some ability to neutralize HIV-1, but generally weak with limited cross-reactivity; it weakly neutralizes some primary but not TCLA strains. 697-D is the best characterized of the anti-V2 MAbs, and binds weakly and sporadically to isolates from clades A-D. Gorny2003 (variant cross-reactivity, review, subtype comparisons)
697-D: This epitope is similar to a fragment of the human protein macrophage colony stimulating factor I receptor SISIRLKVQK. Maksiutov2002
697-D: Called 697D -- Transgenic mice carrying human genes allowing production of fully human MAbs were used to rapidly create a panel of anti-HIV gp120 MAb producing hybridomas by immunization with HIV SF162 gp120 -- the previously described human MAbs 5145A, 4117C and 697D were used as controls. He2002
697-D: Called 697D -- Truncation of the gp41 cytoplasmic domain of X4, R5, and X4R5 viruses forces a conformation that more closely resembles the CD4 bound state of the external Envelope, enhancing binding of CD4i MAbs 17b and 48d and of CD4BS MAbs F105, b12, and in most cases of glycosylation site dependent MAb 2G12 and the anti-gp41 MAb 246D -- in contrast, binding of the anti-V2 MAb 697D and the anti-V3 MAb 694/98D were not affected -- viruses bearing the truncation were more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs 48d, b12, and 2G12 -- the anti-C5 MAb 1331A was used to track levels of cell surface expression of the mutated proteins. EdwardsBH2002 (antibody binding site)
697-D: 26 HIV-1 group M isolates (clades A to H) were tested for binding to 47 MAbs, including 5 anti-V2 MAbs, which showed weak and sporadic binding, with the most frequent binding to C and D clades. Nyambi2000 (subtype comparisons)
697-D: Ab responses, because of their capacity to alter antigen uptake and processing, can influence helper T cell responses -- CD4BS MAbs or serum Ig from HIV+ individuals inhibited proliferative responses of gp120 specific T cells -- V2 MAb 697-D did not affect proliferation. Hioe2000
697-D: Binding of panel of 21 MAbs to soluble oligomeric gp140 versus gp41 or gp120 monomers was compared -- no MAb was oligomer specific, though anti-V3 and CD4BS MAbs reacted better with the oligomer and V2 and C5 tended to favor the monomer -- V2 MAbs 697-D, 1357 and 1361 favored the monomer by approximately 2 fold. Gorny2000b (antibody binding site)
697-D: Called 697-30D -- deleting the V2 loop of neutralization-resistant HIV-1 isolate SF162 does not abrogate its replication in PBMC or macrophages, but it enhances its neutralization sensitivity to sera from patients with B clade infection up to 170-fold, and also enhances sensitivity to sera from clades A through F -- deletion of V1 or V2 did not enable neutralization by V2 MAbs G3.4, G3.136, or 687-30D. Stamatatos1998 (variant cross-reactivity)
697-D: Using a whole virion-ELISA method, 18 human MAbs were tested for their ability to bind to a panel of 9 viruses from clades A, B, D, F, G, and H -- V2 Abs 697-D, 1361, and 1357 tended to bind weakly with a similar pattern of specificity to virions, and bound well to soluble gp120: weak binding to 1/4 B clade viruses (CA5), and weak binding to viruses from subtype A and D. Nyambi1998 (subtype comparisons)
697-D: Does not neutralize TCLA strains but neutralizes some primary isolates weakly. Parren1997 (variant cross-reactivity)
697-D: Study shows neutralization is not predicted by MAb binding to JRFL monomeric gp120, but is associated with oligomeric Env binding -- 697-D bound monomer, did not bind oligomer or neutralize JRFL. Fouts1997 (antibody binding site)
697-D: Partial inhibition of gp120 interaction with CCR-5 in a MIP-1beta-CCR-5 competition study. Trkola1996b (co-receptor)
697-D: Review: called 697/30D -- neutralizes some primary, but not lab adapted strains. Moore1995c (variant cross-reactivity, review)
697-D: Not neutralizing, no ADCC activity, and no viral enhancing activity. Forthal1995 (enhancing activity)
697-D: Conformational with weak reactivity to V2 peptide ISTSIRGKVQKEYAFFYKLD -- neutralized 3/4 primary isolates, but none of 4 lab strains -- V2 substitutions 176/177 FY/AT, 179/180 LD/DL, 183/184 PI/SG, and 192-194 YSL/GSS abrogate binding -- anti-C4 MAbs G3-536 and G45-60 enhance binding -- mild oxidation of carbohydrate moieties inhibits binding.

This review considers the relative importance of a neutralizing antibody response for the development of a vaccine, and for disease progression during the chronic phase of HIV-1 infection. It suggests that T-cell immunity may be more important. The distinction between MAbs that can neutralize primary isolates, and those that are effective at neutralizing only laboratory adapted strains is discussed in detail. Alternative conformations of envelope and non-contiguous interacting domains in gp120 are discussed. The suggestion that soluble monomeric gp120 may serve as a viral decoy that diverts the humoral immune response it in vivo is put forth. PubMed ID: 8819579. Show all entries for this paper.

Mapping of Epitopes Exposed on Intact Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Virions: A New Strategy for Studying the Immunologic Relatedness of HIV-1. J. Virol., 72:9384-9391, 1998. 18 human MAbs binding to gp120 and gp41 were tested using a novel assay to test binding to intact HIV-1 virions. The new method involves using MAbs to the host proteins incorporated into virions to bind them to ELIZA plates. Antigenic conservation in epitopes of HIV-1 in clades A, B, D, F, G, and H was studied. MAbs were selected that were directed against V2, V3, CD4bd, C5 or gp41 regions. Antibodies against V2, the CD4BS, and sp41 showed weak and sporadic reactivities, while binding strongly to gp120, suggesting these epitopes are hidden when gp120 is in its native, quaternary structure.

CCR-5 is a co-factor for fusion of HIV-1 strains of the non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) phenotype with CD4+ T-cells. CD4 binding greatly increases the efficiency of gp120-CCR-5 interaction. Neutralizing MAbs against the V3 loop and CD4-induced epitopes on gp120 inhibited the interaction of gp120 with CCR-5, without affecting gp120-CD4 binding. PubMed ID: 8906796.

CH58: V2-directed antibodies isolated from the RV144 vaccine trial correlated with reduced HIV-1 infection risk by interacting with positively charged residues at positions 168, 169, and 171 in V2. Here, van Eeden et al. isolate two antibody lineages (CAP228-16H/19F and CAP228–3D), similar to RV144 Abs CH58 and CH59, from infected subject CAP228, that mediate potent antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). While in both CH58 and CH59 binding was restricted to two light chain genes, the new Ab lineages isolated in this study identify a third V2-reactive light chain gene, increasing the antibody repertoire potentially elicited by vaccination. These data helped in the understanding of the development of cross-reactive, V2-binding, antiviral Abs. vanEeden2018 (ADCC, antibody binding site, antibody lineage)
CH58: The influence of a V2 State 2/3-stabilizing Env mutation, L193A, on ADCC responses mediated by sera from HIV-1-infected individuals was evaluated. Conformations spontaneously sampled by the Env trimer at the surface of infected cells had a significant impact on ADCC. Based on its marked States 2/3 phenotype, mutation L193A was selected and introduced into primary transmitted/founder (TF) infectious molecular clones (IMCs) of CH58. Prevost2018 (ADCC)
CH58: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
CH58: 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 CH58 in ELISA EC50 and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays. 6240.B gp120 did not bind to CH58. Wen2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
CH58: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. CH58 is neither autoreactive nor polyreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
CH58: A customized multiplex assay was used to examine complement activation by V1V2-specific IgG in plasma from HIV-1-infected individuals and from vaccine recipients in RV144 and two related HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trials, VAX003 and VAX004, in which no protection was seen. This effort included an assessment of case-control plasma samples from RV144 to determine whether V1V2-specific complement-activating IgG was a correlate of infection risk. After adjusting for gp120 IgA, V1V2 IgG, gender, and risk score, complement activation by case-control plasmas from RV144 correlated inversely with a reduced risk of HIV-1 infection. CH58 neutralized the highly sensitive tier 1A virus, 92TH023.6, but possess no neutralizing activity against tier 2 circulating strains. Perez2017 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
CH58: 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. Three non-nAb combinations were assayed: 7B2/CH58/CH90, 7B2/CH58/CH22, and F240/M785-U1/N10-U1. Cheeseman2017 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunoprophylaxis)
CH58: 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)
ch58: Protection by mAbs was tested in two models of mucosal HIV-1 transmission. Broadly neutralizing Abs (CH31, b12), but not non-neutralizing Abs (CH29, CH38, CH54, CH57, CH90, CH58, HG129, HG130, 7b2, CH65) were able to block HIV infection in human vaginal explants. Infusion of CH31, but not CH54 or CH38, protected rhesus macaques against SHIV challenge. Astronomo2016 (immunoprophylaxis)
CH58: The development of CH58 from its germline precursor was studied. CH58 is only modestly mutated from CH58-UA, and its improvements were due to 3 factors: (1) the parental LCDR2 was structurally preconformed to interact with V2 residue Lys169, (2) the conformational selection of LCDR3 resulted in a Kd increased 2000-fold by mutation of only a few contact residues, and (3) the gain of salt bridges between antibody and antigen during maturation. Nicely2015 (antibody binding site, structure, antibody lineage)
CH58: Combinations of antibodies isolated from RV144 vaccinees were shown to synergistically mediate multiple anti-HIV activities: neutralization, virus capture, and ADCC. Antibodies included CH54, CH57, CH58, CH59, CH90, HG107, and HG120. Synergy was particular notable for combinations of V2 and C1 MAbs. In particular, the ADCC activity of CH58 was increased by synergy with other monoclonal antibodies at concentrations similar to those found in RV144 vaccinees. Pollara2014 (ADCC, vaccine-induced immune responses)
CH58: 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. CH58 was compared to the newly-derived mAbs; it had no significant cross-reactivity with gut bacteria and tested negative for autoreactivity. Jeffries2016 (antibody polyreactivity)
CH58: 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 V2p antibodies CH58, CH59, and PG9 for comparison. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
CH58: The ED motif in Λ3-SC4 light chain of neutralizing antibody CH58 demonstrated K169-dependent binding to the V2 region of HIV-1 Env (LRDKKQKVHALFYKLDIVPIED), across phylogeny (humans and macaques). K169 is the site of immune pressure in the RV144 vaccine. Wiehe2014 (neutralization, vaccine-induced immune responses)
CH58: The infectious virion (iVirions) capture index (IVCI) of different Abs have been determined. bnAbs captured higher proportions of iVirions compared to total virus particles (rVirions) indicating the capacity, breadth and selectively of bnAbs to capture iVirions. IVCI was additive with a mixture of Abs, providing proof of concept for vaccine-induced effect of improved capacity. CH58 showed an IVCI of 0.75. CH58 and 7B2 combined at a 1:1 ratio significantly captured more virions than each alone. Liu2014 (antibody interactions, binding affinity)
CH58: Binding properties of a synthesized V1V2 glycopeptide immunogen that selectively targets bnAbs' naive B cells is reported. the unmutated common ancestor (UCA) of CH58 showed nanomolar affinity to V1V2 bearing Man₅GlcNAc₂ glycan units. Disulfide-linked dimer formation was not required for CH58 binding to V2. Alam2013 (glycosylation)
CH58: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. RV144 vaccine induced CH58 is discussed as the V2 region-targeting, neutralizing anti-gp120 Ab exhibiting ADCC activity and having a linear epitope. CH58 bind to the same region of BNAb PG9, but do not display preferential binding to gp120 and don't bind to glycans in position 156 and 160. The recombinant version of CH58 could not capture free Tier 2 virions or neutralize Tier 2 isolates. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
CH58: Four V2 MAbs CH58, CH59, HG107 and HG120 were isolated from RV144 Thai HIV-1 vaccinees. These MAbs recognized residue 169, neutralized laboratory HIV-1 (tier 1 strains) and mediated ADCC which was dependent on position 169. K169Q mutation abrogated neutralization by CH58 and CH59. CH58 and CH59 MAbs bound to a linear peptide and the binding was glycan independent. Using alanine scanning, the important residues were K168, K169, K171, V172, H173, F176, Y177, K178, D180 and P183. Crystal structure revealed that CH58, CH59, and PG9 recognize overlapping V2 epitopes in dramatically different conformations, ranging from helical to beta strands.

CH59: V2-directed antibodies isolated from the RV144 vaccine trial correlated with reduced HIV-1 infection risk by interacting with positively charged residues at positions 168, 169, and 171 in V2. Here, van Eeden et al. isolate two antibody lineages (CAP228-16H/19F and CAP228–3D), similar to RV144 Abs CH58 and CH59, from infected subject CAP228, that mediate potent antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). While in both CH58 and CH59 binding was restricted to two light chain genes, the new Ab lineages isolated in this study identify a third V2-reactive light chain gene, increasing the antibody repertoire potentially elicited by vaccination. These data helped in the understanding of the development of cross-reactive, V2-binding, antiviral Abs. vanEeden2018 (ADCC, antibody binding site, antibody lineage)
CH59: 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 CH59 in ELISA EC50 and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays. 6240.B gp120 did not bind to CH59. Wen2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
CH59: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. CH59 is neither autoreactive nor polyreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)

Antibodies included CH54, CH57, CH58, CH59, CH90, HG107, and HG120. Synergy was particular notable for combinations of V2 and C1 MAbs. In particular, the ADCC activity of CH58 was increased by synergy with other monoclonal antibodies at concentrations similar to those found in RV144 vaccinees.

CD4 treament of BaL and JRFL pseudoviruses increased their neutralization sensitivity to V3 MAbs, but not to V2i MAbs.

CH59: The infectious virion (iVirions) capture index (IVCI) of different Abs have been determined. bnAbs captured higher proportions of iVirions compared to total virus particles (rVirions) indicating the capacity, breadth and selectively of bnAbs to capture iVirions. IVCI was additive with a mixture of Abs, providing proof of concept for vaccine-induced effect of improved capacity. CH58 showed low IVCI. Liu2014 (binding affinity)
CH59: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. RV144 vaccine induced CH59 is discussed as the V2 region-targeting, neutralizing anti-gp120 Ab exhibiting ADCC activity and having a linear epitope. CH59 bind to the same region of BNAb PG9, but do not display preferential binding to gp120 and don't bind to glycans in position 156 and 160. The recombinant version of CH59 could not capture free Tier 2 virions or neutralize Tier 2 isolates. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
CH59: Four V2 MAbs CH58, CH59, HG107 and HG120 were isolated from RV144 Thai HIV-1 vaccinees. These MAbs recognized residue 169, neutralized laboratory HIV-1 (tier 1 strains) and mediated ADCC which was dependent on position 169. The K169Q mutation abrogated neutralization by CH58 and CH59. CH58 and CH59 MAbs bound to a linear peptide and the binding was glycan independent. Using the alanin scanning, the important residues were K169, H173, F176, Y177. Crystal structures revealed that CH58, CH59, and PG9 recognize overlapping V2 epitopes in dramatically different conformations, ranging from helical to beta strands.

447-52d: 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. Beauparlant2017 (neutralization, viral fitness and reversion, dynamics, kinetics)
447-52D: 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 the 4C regimen, compared to the C97 regimen, was markedly superior at outcompeting 447-52D binding to gp140 antigens, suggesting that the 4C regimen induced the most robust V3-specific antibodies. Bricault2018 (antibody generation, vaccine-induced immune responses, polyclonal antibodies)
447-52D: The authors mutated two conserved tyrosine (Y) residues within the V2 loop of gp120 Y177 and Y173, individually or in combination, by replacing them with either phenylalanine (F) or alanine (A) in a clade B, tier 1B HIV-1 Env protein (BaL), and in a number of tier 2 HIV-1 Envs from different clades, namely, BG505 (clade A), JR-FL and JR-CSF (clade B), and CM244 (clade E). A consistent hierarchy of neutralization sensitivity was seen among the mutants, with a greater impact of Y177 over Y173 single mutations, of double over single mutations, and of A over F substitutions. The double-alanine mutation in mutant HIV-1 BaL, Y173A Y177A, increased sensitivity to all the weakly neutralizing MAbs tested and even rendered the virus sensitive to non-neutralizing antibodies against the CD4 binding site, such as F105, 654-30D, and b13. When tested against bNAbs instead, there was a trend to decrease neutralization sensitivity compared to WT, with the exception of N6, PGT151, 10E8, and 2G12, for which there was no change, and of 2F5 and 4E10, which were more effective against the mutant compared to the WT. Guzzo2018 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
447-52D: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
447-52D: 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)
447-52D: 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 V3 loop crown for 447-52D. Hogan2018 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: 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. With S306L plus R308L substitutions 447-52D did not bind to SOSIP.v5.2 and SOSIP.v5.2 constructs. deTaeye2018 (broad neutralizer)
447-52D: 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)
447-52D: 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 447-52D), 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)
447-52D: PGT145 was used to positively isolate a subtype B Env trimer immunogen, B41 SOSIP.664, 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. Among non-NAbs to CD4bs (b6, F91, F105); to CD4i (17b); to gp41_ECTO (F240); and to V3 (447-52D, 39F, CO11, 19b and 14e), none neutralized B41 (IC₅₀ >50µg/ml). Pugach2015
447-52D: 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-V3 non-NAb 447-52D 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)
447-52D: 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)
447D: 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. The V3 MAbs tested were: 447, 2219, and 2557. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
447-52D: A computational method, MDE, predicts the presence of neutralization epitopes in the V3 loop solely from the viral sequence and the crystal structure of the antibody. For V3-specific mAbs 2219 and 447-52D, the method accurately predicted the presence of neutralization epitopes in diverse strains of HIV-1. Identification of Ab-targeted neutralization epitopes in silico enables easy prediction of the reactivity of specific mAbs across diverse variants, and facilitates rational design of immunogens. Shmelkov2014 (computational epitope prediction)
447-52D: This study proposes a mimotope model of the V3 crown epitope in which the PR-L and GPG sequences represent the two known epitope binding sites. Rabbit serum to these mimotopes recognized the V3 peptides and moderately decreased the fusion between HIV-1 Env- and CD4-expressing Jurkat cells. MAb 447-52D has been used as V3 epitope core recognizing Ab. The most intriguing characteristic of this mimotope model of the V3 epitope is the absence of the arginine at the position next to the GPG, which offers the flexibility of this phage-displayed linear peptide affecting the correct interaction between the epitope and the antibody tolerating substitutions of the GPG amino acids. Gazarian2013 (mimotopes)
447-52D: 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. 447-52D bound to all 4 trimeric Env. Carbonetti2014 (elite controllers, vaccine-induced immune responses)
447-52D: This study showed that the inability of Env to elicit the production of broadly neutralizing Abs is due to the inability of diverse Env to engage the germ line B cell receptor forms of known bNAbs. 447-52D bound to all the Envs tested except the clade B REJO, the consensus A1 sequence, the clade 405c, and the clade A/E A244. The predicted germ line version of 447-52D did not exhibit any detectable binding against these Envs. Ca²⁺ influx through the 447-52D BCR was also tested as a function of binding affinity. Removal of selected N-linked glycosylaion sites on Env did not confer binding to the predicted germline 447-52D. McGuire2014 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
447-52D: Describes the mutagenesis of plasmid P5Q (a scFv antibody derived from mAb 447). Cites the original mAb 447 as first described by Buchbinder et al. 1992. Lewis1995 (binding affinity, antibody sequence)
447-52D: 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. 447-52D was used as an anti-V3 Ab to study effects of Ab specificity and affinity on ADCC against HIV-1 infected targets. Smalls-Mantey2012 (ADCC, assay or method development)
447-52D: 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. 447-52D had limited neutralizing activity recognizing the V3 loop and carried fewer somatic mutations than bnAbs. Fig S4C described the comparison of Ab framework amino acid replacement vs. interactive surface area on 447-52D. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
447-52D: Polyclonal B cell responses to conserved neutralization epitopes are reported. Cross-reactive plasma samples were identified and evaluated from 308 subjects tested. 447-52D was used as a control mAb in the comprehensive set of assays performed. Tomaras2011 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
447-52D: 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 shorter V1V2 loop from historical seroconverters into the background of Env of HIV-1 from contemporary seroconverters resulted in significant increase in neutralization sensitivity to MAb 447-52D. vanGils2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
447-52D: The inhibitory activity of HIV-1-specific Abs against HIV-1 replication in langerhans cells (LCs) and interstitial dendritic cells (IDCs) was analyzed. Five well-known NAbs 447-52D, 4E10, b12, 2G12, 2F5 strongly inhibited HIV-1BaL and HIV-1TV1 replication in LCs and IDCs, and their inhibitory activities were stronger than those measured on PBMCs. Inhibition was more efficient by IgGs than corresponding IgAs, due to an Fc receptor-dependent mechanism, where HIV-1 inhibition occurs by binding of the Fc portion of IgGs to Fc receptors. Blocking the binding of the NAb to the FcRs present on the cell surface of the DCs reduced the inhibitory activity of the IgG 447-52D. Finally, nonneutralizing inhibitory action of 447-52D Fab fragments 240D and 246D 246D, which do not exhibit neutralizing activity on PBMCs, reduced the number of HIV-1BaL-infected LCs and IDCs by 90%. Peressin2011 (genital and mucosal immunity, dendritic cells)
447-52D: Small sized CD4 mimetics (miniCD4s) were engineered. These miniCD4s by themselves are poorly immunogenic and do not induce anti-CD4 antibodies. Stable covalent complexes between miniCD4s and gp120 and gp140 were generated through a site-directed coupling reaction. These complexes were recognized by CD4i antibodies as well as by the HIV co-receptor CCR5 and elicited CD4i antibody responses in rabbits. A panel of MAbs of defined epitope specificities was used to analyze the antigenic integrity of the covalent complexes using capture ELISA. Binding of the cross-linked complex on 447-52D or MN 215 was increased compared with that of gp140 alone. Martin2011 (mimics, binding affinity)
447-52D: Signature motifs specific for neutralization epitopes present in the V3 loop crown were used to determine the presence or absence of MAb-specific epitopes in vaccine immunogens and in break-through viruses infecting vaccine and placebo recipients in the VAX003 and VAX004 Phase III clinical trials. Of the six epitopes present in the immunogens and targeted by known NAbs, only the one targeted by anti-V3 NAb 2219 exhibited a significant reduction in occurrence in vaccinated subjects from VAX003 Thailand cohort compared to the placebo group. The signature motif used for MAb 447-52D is P16, R18 in V3-loop position numbers. Shmelkov2011 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
447-52D: The long-term effect of broadly bNAbs on cell-free HIV particles and their capacity to irreversibly inactivate virus was studied. MPER-specific MAbs potently induced gp120 shedding upon prolonged contact with the virus, rendering neutralization irreversible. The kinetic and thermodynamic requirements of the shedding process were virtually identical to those of neutralization, identifying gp120 shedding as a key process associated with HIV neutralization by MPER bNAbs. Neutralizing and shedding capacity of 7 MPER-, CD4bs- and V3 loop-directed MAbs were assessed against 14 divergent strains. 447-52D induced potent shedding that correlated with its neutralization activity. Ruprecht2011 (neutralization, kinetics)
447-52D: Closely related HIV-1 B clade Envs from a pediatric subject in a late disease differed in their capacity to infect primary macrophages. E153G conferred high levels of macrophage infectivity for several heterologous R5 envelopes, while the reciprocal G153E substitution abrogated infection. Shifts in macrophage tropism were associated with dramatic shifts in sensitivity to the V3 loop MAb 447-52D and soluble CD4, as well as more modest changes in sensitivity to the CD4bs MAb, b12. Musich2011 (escape)
447-52D: This study analyzed the neutralization sensitivity of sequential HIV-1 primary isolates during their natural evolution in 5 subtype B and CRF02_AG HIV-1 infected drug naive individuals to 13 anti-HIV-1 MAbs (including this MAb) directed at epitopes in the V2, V3, CD4bd and carbohydrates. Patient viruses evolved to become more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed at epitopes at V2, V3 and CDbd, indicating that cross sectional studies are inadequate to define the neutralization spectrum of MAb neutralization with primary HIV-1 isolates. Haldar2011 (neutralization)
447-52D: A way to produce conformationally intact, deglycosylated soluble, cleaved recombinant Env trimers by inhibition of the synthesis of complex N-glycans during Env production, followed by treatment with glycosidases under conditions that preserve Env trimer integrity is described to facilitate crystallography and immunogenicity studies. MAb 447–52D bound more strongly to deglycosylated trimers than untreated ones. Depetris2012 (glycosylation, binding affinity)
447-52D: Masking signatures were developed and analyzed for 4 anti-HIV V3 loop MAbs, 2219, 3074, 2557, 447-52D. The epitopes were classified as "masked" if their signature motifs were present in a virus, but there was no detectible neutralization by the MAb of the same virus in vitro. The signature motif for MAb 2219 used in the study was R9+K10+[l,V]12+[Y,F]21. Of the 4 MAbs, 2219 neutralized the largest number of pseudoviruses containing its epitope. The 2219 neutralization epitope is unmasked in 25/68 (36.8%) of the viruses containing the 2219 epitope. Agarwal2011 (neutralization)
447-52D: 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. The effect of I424M substitution in three clade B Envs (RHPA4259.7, JRFL and YU2) was tested and 2-45-fold increase was found in their sensitivities to anti-V3 MAbs including 447-52D. Ringe2011 (neutralization)
447-52D: Several soluble gp140 Env proteins recognized by PG9 and PG16 were identified, and the effect of Env trimerization, the requirement for specific amino acids at position 160 within the V2 loop, and the importance of proper gp120-gp41 cleavage for MAb binding to soluble gp140s were investigated along with whether and how the kinetics of PG9 and PG16 binding to soluble gp140 correlates with the neutralizing potencies of these MAbs. In some cases the affinities of PG9/PG16 binding were comparable to those of 447-52D. Lower binding affinity of gp140 ligands to PG9/PG16 than 447D was observed. 447-52D binds to an epitope within the V3 loop of gp120 and interacts very efficiently with monomeric gp120. 447-52D also bound to all clade A Env gp140s tested. The anti-SF162 neutralizing activity of 447-52D decreased when the lysine at position 160 was replaced by an asparagine. Davenport2011 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: The location and extent of conservation of eight protease cleavage sites on HIV-1 gp120 recognized by 3 major human proteases (cathepsins L, S and D) are described along with the effect of cathepsin cleavage on gp120 binding to CD4-IgG and NAbs. 447-52D binding was destroyed with cathepsin L-treated gp120 but preserved with cathepsin D-treated gp120. Yu2010 (binding affinity)
447-52D: 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)
447-52D: 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 this MAb predominantly neutralizes clade B viruses and occasionally neutralizes some viruses from non-B clades. Gonzalez2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, escape, review)
447-52D: The expression and characterization of different glycoforms of V3-Fc fusion protein along with its binding to HIV-neutralizing Abs 2G12 and 447-52D was examined. The binding affinity of 447-52D was high for complex type glycoform V3-Fc-CT and high-mannose type glycoforms of V3-Fc (V3-Fc-HM, V3-Fc-M9 and the two mutants:N301A and Fc-N297A) following a quick association/dissociation kinetic process but it was higher for gp120 with extremely slow dissociation process. The affinity to 447-52D was not significantly affected by removal of the N-glycans at the N297, N301 and N332 sites. Yang2010a (glycosylation, binding affinity)
447-D52: This paper shows that a highly neutralization-resistant virus is converted to a neutralization sensitive virus with a rare single mutation D179N in the C-terminal portion of the V2 domain for several antibodies. 447D-52, however, did not neutralize any of the mutants tested. ORourke2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: A side-by-side comparison was performed on the quality of Ab responses in humans elicited by three vaccine studies focusing on Env-specific Abs. V3 Abs with specificities similar to that of 447-52D were elicited nearly ubiquitously in all of the vaccine sera tested, where the sera were able to outcompete binding to 447-52D. Vaine2010 (antibody interactions)
447-52D: Structure of 447-52D bound to a peptide containing the sequence of the V3 loop was used to derive sensitive and specific signature motifs for its neutralization epitope. 447-52D epitope (¹⁶PxR¹⁸) was found conserved in 11% of circulating HIV-1 strains, and was highly restricted to subtype B strains. 447-52D neutralized 9% of subtype A pseudovirions, 47% of subtype B, 4% of subtype C, 10% of subtype D and 0% of CRF02_AG. Swetnam2010 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons, structure)
447-52D: Peptide ligands for CD4i epitopes on native dualtropic Envs were selected by phage display. The correct exposure of CD4i epitopes was detected by binding with MAb 447-52D, which bound both in the presence or absence of sCD4. Dervillez2010 (binding affinity)
447-52D: 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. V3-directed MAb 447-52D bound similarly to all three trimer variants: WT and 368D/R, and 423/425/431. Douagi2010 (binding affinity)
447-52D: The effect of presence and absence of V1 loop was assessed using two approaches: remove V1 loop from the soluble trimeric gp140 construct (ΔV1SF162gp140) and second, substitute the V1 loop on SF162gp140 construct with four different V1 loops from 89.6, YU2, JRFL, and HxB2 (heterologous HIV-1 viruses). Deletion or substitution of V1 loop increased resistance to neutralization by 447-52D in 3 out of 5 V1-modified gp140 constructs, although it did not affect the binding to 447-52D. D368R modification to SF162gp120 did not affect the binding to 447-52D but there was a decrease in neutralization activity by 447-52D. Ching2010 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52d: Clustering analysis was performed to find patterns of neutralization reactivity for the dataset of 103 patients sera against 20 viruses. The clustering by five MAbs (including 447-52d) against the 20 isolates was less statistically robust than that with serum titers, resulting in three clusters for both cases. The membership in an isolate cluster defined by serum titers was compared with its sensitivity to every MAb to understand the relationship of serum and MAb reactivity. Membership in two out of three clusters did not correlate with sensitivity to 447-52d. Doria-Rose2010 (neutralization)
447: 447 neutralizing activity was assessed against pseudoviruses expressing Envs of diverse HIV-1 subtypes from subjects with acute and chronic infection. IC50 neutralization activity was also statistically assessed based on the area under the neutralization curves (AUC). 447 was able to neutralize 6/57 viruses in U87-based assay and 12/41 viruses in TZM-based assay, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 viruses, viruses of subtypes A, B, C, AG, and viruses from both chronic and acute infections. AUC analysis revealed that 15/57 viruses in the U87-based assay, and 12/41 viruses in the TZM-based assay, were significantly neutralized by this Ab. Thus, the AUC method has the ability to detect low levels of neutralizing activity that otherwise may be missed. Hioe2010 (assay or method development, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: 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. 447-52D neutralized all ΔV1V2 variants more potently than wild type virus, indicating better exposure of the 447-52D epitope when V1V2 domain is removed. Bontjer2010 (neutralization)
447-52D: This review discusses recent research done to improve the production, quality, and cross-reactivity of binding Abs, neutralizing Abs, monoclonal Abs with broad neutralizing activity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated viral inhibition (ADCVI), and catalytic Abs. Studies focusing on several aspects of BNAb roles in vaccine development, and studies done to better understand the broad binding capacity of BNAbs are reviewed. Baum2010 (ADCC, neutralization, review)
447-52D: GnTI virus (complex glycans of the neutralizing face are replaced by fully trimmed oligomannose stumps), and the N301Q mutant virus (glycan at position 301 is removed), were both significantly more sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D compared to the parental virus. This suggests that the antennae of the complex glycans play a significant role in protecting the V3 loop from Ab binding. Binley2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
447: This human Ab was compared to MAbs 2.2G, 2.3E, 2.5B derived from B-cell cultures from SHIV-infected rhesus macaques and human MAbs 2909, 830A and sCD4. 447 blocked the capture of virions by MAbs 2.2G, 2.3E, 2.5B and human MAb 2909. 447 capture of virions was partially blocked by 2909 and 830A and not blocked by sCD4. Robinson2010 (binding affinity)
447: Two V3-scaffold immunogen constructs were designed and expressed using 3D structures of cholera toxin B (CTB), V3 in the gp120 context, and V3 bound to 447-52D MAb. The construct (V3-CTB) presenting the complete V3 was recognized by 447-52D and by the large majority of other MAbs (18/24), indicating correctly folded and exposed MAb epitopes. V3-CTB induced V3-binding Abs and Abs displaying cross-clade neutralizing activity in immunized rabbits. Short V3-CTB construct, presenting a V3 fragment in conformation observed in complex with 447-52D, showed high affinity binding to 447-52D. Few other MAbs retained the same binding affinities for this construct as for the V3-CTB, indicating that they utilize a binding mode similar to that of 447-52D. Totrov2010 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
447-52D: A panel of 109 HIV-1 pseudoviruses was assessed for neutralization sensitivities to 447-52D MAb and patient plasma pools from genetically diverse HIV-1 positive samples. Clustering analyses revealed that the 109 viruses could be divided to 4 sub-groups, based on their neutralization sensitivity to the plasma pools: very high (Tier 1A), above-average (Tier 1B), moderate (Tier 2), and low (Tier 3) sensitivity. 3 Tier 1A, 7 Tier 1B, 3 Tier 2 and 1 Tier 3 viruses were found to be sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D. Seaman2010 (neutralization)
447-52D: Neutralizing sensitivity of L669S gp41 mutant virus to 447-52D increased ∼169-fold compared to the wild type virus, indicating that conformational changes in the MPER could alter the exposure of neutralization epitopes in other regions of HIV-1 Env. Shen2010 (neutralization)
447-52D: Neutralization potency of 447-52D was compared to that of HK20 scFv in TZM-based assay using 45 Tier 1 and Tier 2 HIV isolates. 447-52D neutralized 6/45 isolates. Sabin2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Crystal structures of 2219, 2557, 1006-15D and 3074 MAbs in complex with V3 peptides revealed that these MAbs bind to conserved elements in four regions of the V3: the arch, the circlet, the band, and the V3 peptide main chain backbone. A mimotope that preserved the key structural elements in the circlet and band regions, but with GPG of the arch replaced by a disulfide bond, interacted with broadly reactive MAbs 2557, 1006 and 2219. It did not react with 447-52D nor 268-D, which are dependent on the Arg in the arch. Thus, mimotopes can be constructed that may focus the immune response on structurally conserved elements. Jiang2010 (antibody binding site, mimotopes, structure)
447-52D: B cell depletion in an HIV-1 infected patient using rituximab led to a decline in NAb titers and rising viral load. Recovery of NAb titers resulted in control of viral load, and the newly emerged virus population was examined. Strong binding competition between patient sera and 447-52D was observed. Huang2010 (antibody interactions)
447-52D: Binding affinity of 447-52D to a minimal peptide was 2-fold weaker than binding of this Ab to gp140 monomers and trimers. The opposite was observed for MAb 4E10. Xu2010 (binding affinity)
447-52D: 447-52D ability to bind different Env trimers and its neutralization breadth are reviewed. This review also summarizes data on the evolution of HIV neutralizing Abs, principles of Env immunogen design to elicit broadly neutralizing Abs, and future critical areas of research for development of an Ab-based HIV vaccine. Hoxie2010 (vaccine antigen design, review)
447-52D: 58 mAbs, including 3 broadly neutralizing mAbs, were isolated from memory B cells of HIV-1 infected donors using an improved EBV immortalization method combined with a broad screening strategy. 447-52D neutralization activity was compared to the three new broadly neutralizing mAbs. 447-52D neutralized 88% of Tier 1 and 4% of Tier 2 viruses, the neutralization of Tier 2 viruses being inferior to that of the new mAbs HGN194 and HJ16. Corti2010 (neutralization)
447-52D: 433 Abs were cloned from HIV envelope-binding memory B cells from 6 patients with broadly neutralizing sera. The Abs had neutralizing activity directed against several epitopes on gp120 and the majority neutralized Tier 1 viruses. Tier-2 neutralization was observed only with mixtures of MAbs, but only at high concentrations. 447-52D was used as a control and it neutralized 5/5 Tier 1 and 2/5 Tier 2 viruses. Scheid2009 (neutralization)
447-52D: NAb specificities of a panel of HIV sera were systematically analyzed by selective adsorption with native gp120 and specific mutant variants. The integrity and specificity of gp120 beads in adsorption assay were validated by their ability to adsorb binding activity of 447-52D. gp120 point mutation D368R was used to screen the sera for CD4bs- Abs, and it was shown that this mutant could adsorb binding activity of 447-52D. To test for presence of coreceptor binding region MAbs in sera, gp120 I420 mutant was used. This mutant was recognized by 447-52D at equal levels as the wild type. To test sera for presence of V3 neutralizing activity, V3 peptides were used. These peptides inhibited neutralization mediated by 447-52D. 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)
447-52D: 447-52D sequence-independent 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)
447-52D: The review discusses the implications of HIV-1 diversity on vaccine design and induction of neutralizing Abs, and possible novel approaches for rational vaccine design that can enhance coverage of HIV diversity. Patterns of within-clade and between-clade diversity in core epitopes of known potent neutralizing Abs is displayed. Korber2009 (review)
447-52D: 447-52D bound to both SF162 wild type and SF162 mutant, carrying only the monomeric form of the Env protein, virions and transfected cells. 447-52D exhibited higher binding activity to SF162 wild type compared to 2909, suggesting that 2909 epitope may not be formed on each trimer. Kimura2009 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
447-D: FcγR-mediated inhibition and neutralization of HIV by 447-D and other MAbs is reviewed. The review also summarizes the role of ADCC and ADCVI Abs on HIV infection inhibition and neutralization. Forthal2009 (review)
447-52D: 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 447-52D were smaller than those for VRC01. Zhou2010 (neutralization, structure)
447-52D: 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 447-52D. Memory B cells were selected that bound to RSC3 and full IgG mAbs were expressed. Three newly detected MAb VRC1 did not enhance neutralization by 447-52D. Addition of RSC3 had no effect on 447-52D neutralization of HXB2. Wu2010 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52d: Insertion of one or two disulfide bonds at specific residues in a V3 MN peptide sequence was used to constrain the conformations of the peptides to β-hairpin structures recognized by the 447-52d (postulated R5 V3 conformation). Insertion of two disulfide bonds increased the tendency of the peptides to form β-hairpin structures but it required replacement of residues reacting strongly with 447-52d Ab. Thus, peptides constrained by one disulfide bond are suggested to be more attractive candidates for immunogens that could elicit neutralizing Abs. Mor2009 (antibody binding site)
447-52d: The epitope sequence motif of 447-52d was precisely defined based on the 3D structure of the MAb complexed with V3MN peptide. Depending on how snugly V3 loop side chains are bound by the Ab, the complex can be divided into 3 subdomains. The specific epitope motif suggested by the complex structure was shown to be R315. 93% of HIV sequences with R315 in the Los Alamos HIV database fit the ag-binding site of MAb 447-52d. A set of V3 chimeric pseudoviruses, carrying either R315 or Q315, were tested for their sensitivity to neutralization by 447-52d. R315 viruses were neutralized very well while Q315 viruses were neutralized much more weakly. Thus, the sequence motif for the neutralization epitope recognized by 447-52d is R315. The neutralization-relevant epitope sequence motif of 447-52d was calculated to be present in approximately 13% of worldwide HIV isolates, predominating in subtype B isolates. Cardozo2009 (neutralization, optimal epitope)
447-52D: NL4.3 virus was cultured with cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) and CADA-resistant virus was selected. 447-52D MAb showed enhanced binding to the CADA-resistant virus compared to wildtype. In addition, CADA-resistant virus was more susceptible to neutralization by this MAb. The mutations in CADA-resistant virus are suggested to stabilize the conformation of gp120 and reduce glycosylation. Vermeire2009 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: C2EB5 MAb was isolated from mice immunized with a peptide from C2 region. C2EB5 neutralization and binding affinity to virions of clades A, B, C, D and CRF01_AE was compared to that of 447-52D. Sreepian2009 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)
447-52D: Binding of 447-52D to gp120 was not inhibited by YZ23, an Ab derived from mice immunized with eletcrophilic analogs of gp120 (E-gp120), indicating no overlap of these MAb epitopes. Nishiyama2009
447-52D: V3 peptides were constrained in various ways to stabilize the β-hairpin conformation. This study showed that it is possible to constrain V3 peptides to this conformation that is recognized by 447-52D while maintaining high-affinity binding to this Ab. Peptides designed to mimic either the R5A or R5B conformation had higher affinity to 447-52D than peptides designed to mimic X4 conformation. Mester2009 (antibody binding site, kinetics, binding affinity)
447-52D: This Ab neutralized JRFL strain but many folds higher concentrations of the Ab were needed compared to neutralization of SF162 and SS1196 by 447-52D. 447-52D did not neutralize strain 3988.25. Hioe2009 (neutralization)
447-52D: The Ig usage for variable heavy chain of this Ab was as follows: IGHV:3-15*07, IGHD:3-10, D-RF:3, IGHJ:6. There was a preferential usage of the VH5-51 gene segment for V3 Abs. The usage of the VH4 family for the V3 Abs was restricted to only one gene segment, VH4-59, and the VH3 gene family was used at a significantly lower level by these Abs. The V3 Abs preferentially used the JH3 and D2-15 gene segments. Gorny2009 (antibody sequence)
447-52D: An international collaboration (NeutNet) was organized to compare the performance of a wide variety of HIV-1 neutralization assays performed in different laboratories. Four neutralizing agents were evaluated: 4E10, 447-52D, sCD4 and TriMab (equal mixture of 2F5, 2G12 and 4E10). In general, there were clear differences in assay sensitivities that were dependent on both the neutralizing agent and the virus. No single assay was capable of detecting the entire spectrum of neutralizing activities. Fenyo2009 (assay or method development, neutralization)
447-52D: 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 were sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D, while the wildtype derived viruses HIV-2KR.X4 and HIV-2KR.X7 were completely resistant. A V3 linear peptide from HIV-1 JR-FL was able to absorb all 447-52D neutralizing activity and a peptide from HIV-1 YU2 removed most of the 447-52D neutralizing activity. Fc-V3 fusion proteins from subtypes B and C completely eliminated 447-52D-mediated neutralization. However, 447-52D was unable to neutralize the primary HIV-1 BORI virus while it neutralized the HIV-2-BORI V3 chimera. Competition assays showed that most of the plasmas derived from subtype B and C chronically infected individuals had neutralizing activity that was V3 specific and dependent upon residued in the V3 crown that overlap 447-52D and F425 B4e8 epitopes. Also, 55 early founder viral Env proteins from 47 subjects acutely infected with subtype B virus were tested for susceptibility to 447-52D. 51 viruses were resistant to neutralization by 447-52D, but many showed sensitivity to this Ab once conformational changes were induced with sCD4. This indicates that the V3 region in primary HIV-1 Envs is highly conserved but is shielded from Ab recognition. Davis2009 (HIV-2, neutralization, acute/early infection)
447-52D: Two different but genetically related viruses, CC101.19 and D1/85.16, which are resistant to small molecule CCR5 inhibitors, and two clones from their inhibitor sensitive parental strain CC1/85, were used to analyze interactions of HIV-1 with CCR5. CC101.19 had 4 substitutions in the V3 region and D1/85.16 had 3 changes in gp41. 447-52D bound detectably to gp120 of CC101.19 but this was greatly reduced compared to the binding of 447-52D to gp120 of the other three viruses. The opposite was true for 447-52D binding to the V3 peptide alone of the four viruses. 447-52D neutralized CC101.19 but did not neutralize the other three viruses. This indicates that the V3 region of CC101.19 has become unusually accessible to V3 Abs. Berro2009 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: This report investigated whether mannose removal alters gp120 immunogenicity in mice. Approximately 55 mannose residues were removed from gp120 by mannosidase digestion creating D-gp120 for immunization. 447-52D was able to bind to D-gp120 comparably as to the untreated gp120, indicating that the mannosidase digestion did not affect the antigenicity of gp120. Banerjee2009 (binding affinity)
447-52D: Reactivity and structure of 447-52D and 537-10D MAbs was compared. 447-52D was able to bind 22/24 V3 peptides from a panel of clades A, B and C, including peptides with both GPGR and GPGQ motifs, while 537-10D only reacted with peptides containing the GPGR motif. Crystal structures of the Fab fragments of 447-52D and 537-10D in complex with 23-mer peptides derived from clades A and B viruses, respectively, was determined. Although both MAbs had highly similar antigen binding sites, differences in their binding and neutralization activities were found to be due to subtile differences in their structures. The structure analyses explained the ability of 447-52D to bind to both GPGR and GPGQ motifs. Burke2009 (antibody binding site, neutralization, structure)
447-52D: Data is summarized on the X-ray crystal structures resolution and NMR studies of 447-52D. Sirois2007 (review, structure)
447-52D: This review summarizes data on possible vaccine targets for elicitation of neutralizing Abs and discusses whether it is more practical to design a clade-specific than a clade-generic HIV-1 vaccine. Development of a neutralizing Ab response in HIV-1 infected individuals is reviewed, including data that show no apparent division of different HIV-1 subtypes into clade-related neutralization groups. Also, a summary of the neutralizing activity of MAb 447-52D in different HIV-1 clades is provided. McKnight2007 (variant cross-reactivity, review)
447-52D: This review provides information on the HIV-1 glycoprotein properties that make it challenging to target with neutralizing Abs. 447-52D 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, such as 447-52D, are discussed. In addition, approaches to target cellular molecules, such as CD4, CCR5, CXCR4, and MHC molecules, with therapeutic Abs are reviewed. Phogat2007 (review)
447-52D: This review summarizes current knowledge on the various functional properties of antibodies in HIV-1 infection, including 447-52D MAb, in vivo and in vitro activity of neutralizing Abs, the importance and downfalls of non-neutralizing Abs and antibodies that mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and the complement system, and summarizes data on areas that need future investigation on Ab-mediated immune control. Huber2007 (review)
447-52D: 447-52D structure, binding, neutralization, and strategies that can be used for vaccine antigen design to elicit anti-V3 Abs, are reviewed in detail. Lin2007 (review, structure)
447/52D: This review summarizes 447-52D Ab epitope, properties and neutralization activity. Kramer2007 (review)
447-52D: Current insights into CTLs and NAbs, and their possible protective mechanisms against establishment of persistent HIV/SIV infection are discussed. Pre- and post-infection sterile and non-sterile protection of NAbs against viral challenge, and potential role of NAbs in antibody-mediated antigen presentation in modification of cellular immunity, are reviewed. 447-52D anti-viral activity in suppression of viral rebound in HIV-1 infected humans undergoing structured treatment interruptions is described. Yamamoto2008 (supervised treatment interruptions (STI), review)
447-52D: A mathematical model was developed and used to derive transmitted or founder Env sequences from individuals with acute HIV-1 subtype B infection. All but three of the transmitted or early founder Envs were resistant to neutralization by 447-52D, indicating that the coreceptor binding surfaces on transmitted/founder Envs are conformationally masked. sCD4 could trigger a conformational change in gp120 of these Envs and render the virus susceptible to neutralization by 447-52D. Keele2008 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
447-52D: A significantly higher level of 447-52D bound to gp120 complexed with anti-CD4bs mAbs than to gp120 alone or in complex with other non-CD4bs Abs, indicating that binding of anti-CD4bs Abs to gp120 increases exposure of specific V3 MAb epitopes. Visciano2008 (antibody binding site)
447D: Trimeric envelope glycoproteins with a partial deletion of the V2 loop derived from subtype B SF162 and subtype C TV1 were compared. 447D recognized both B and C trimers with similar efficiency, indicating that the epitope recognized by this Ab is exposed and preserved in the subtype C trimers. Subtype C trimer had many biophysical, biochemical, and immunological characteristics similar to subtype B trimer, except for a difference in the three binding sites for CD4, which showed cooperativity of CD4 binding in subtype C but not in subtype B. Srivastava2008 (binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: In order to assess whether small molecule CCR5 inhibitor resistant viruses were more sensitive to neutralization by NAbs, two escape mutant viruses, CC101.19 and D1/85.16, were tested for their sensitivity to neutralization by 447-52D, compared to the sensitivity of CC1/85 parental isolate and the CCcon.19 control isolate. The CC101.19 escape mutant has 4 sequence changes in V3 while the D1/85.16 has no sequence changes in V3 and relies on other sequence changes for its resistance. None of the control or resistant viruses were sensitive for neutralization by 447-52D, although 447-52D bound strongly to gp120 from CC1/85 and CC101.19. These results indicate that V3-dependent and -independent changes responsible for CCR5 inhibitor resistance do not necessarily alter the exposure of V3 to some of the V3 Abs. Pugach2008 (co-receptor, neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: To examine sequence and conformational differences between subtypes B and C, several experiments were performed with 11 MAbs regarding binding and neutralization. Both binding and neutralization studies revealed that the 11 MAbs could be divided in three different groups, and that the most differences between the subtypes were located in the stem and turn regions of V3. 447-52D belonged to the group 2 MAbs, which are able to bind subtype B but not subtype C gp120, and are able to bind both V3 peptides. 447-52D was able to bind subtype B V3 in the subtype C Env backbone chimera, but not the reverse, indicating that 447-52D binds to a structure created by the subtype B V3 sequence that is not impacted by the gp120 backbone. For subtype B, 447-52D required an R18 residue in order to bind, but the binding was not significantly affected by the H13R change. For subtype C, Q18R mutation did not restore binding to gp120, but the R13H-Q18R double mutation did. Peptide binding was affected only by the R13H mutation, indicating that the poor binding of Q18R gp120 mutant has a structural basis. 447-52D was not able to neutralize JR-FL isolate, and somewhat neutralized SF162. A chimeric SF162 variant with a JR-FL-like V3 sequence was hypersensitive to neutralization by this Ab. Patel2008 (neutralization, binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Requirements for elicitation of CD4i Abs were examined by immunizing non-primate monkeys, rabbits, and human-CD4 transgenic (huCD4) rabbits with trimeric gp140. The trimers used for the immunizations were inoculated with PBMCs, and CD4-specific binding to live CD3+/CD4+/CD8- cells was verified by recognition of the trimers by 447-52D. Forsell2008
447-52D: To test whether the conformation change of Env induced by CD4 affects the breadth and potency of 447-52D neutralization, 447-52D was tested in the presence or absence of sCD4 in neutralization of a panel of 12 subtype B and 12 subtype C Env-pseudoviruses. Without sCD4, 447-52D neutralized 2 subtype B and 0 subtype C viruses. With sCD4 present, 447-52D neutralized 7 subtype B and 1 subtype C virus, indicating that neutralization resistance of some viruses to 447-52D is due to a lack of exposure of the V3 loop. Neutralization of JRFL, ADA, and YU2 isolates by 447-52D increased with increased dose of sCD4. A virus with GPGG sequence at the tip of the V3 loop did not react with 447-52D, indicating that amino acid sequence variation may account for the neutralization resistance of other viruses. The presence of b12 and F105 did not induce 447-52D mediated neutralization of JRFL virus, indicating that b12 and F105 do not induce a conformation alternation in Env that exposes V3 loop to 447-52D. Wu2008 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: The neutralization profile of early R5, intermediate R5X4, and late X4 viruses from a rhesus macaque infected with SHIV-SF162P3N was assessed. The parental R5 virus was resistant to neutralization by 447-52D, while both the R5X4 intermediate and the late X4 viruses were sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D. The enhanced neutralization susceptibility of the dual-tropic and the X4 viruses to 447-52D suggests adoption of an increasingly open conformation of the Env gp120 over time. Tasca2008 (co-receptor, neutralization)
447D: 447D neutralized 6 of the 15 subtype B isolates tested, of which 5 were resistant to neutralization by MAbs 19b, 39F, CO11, F2A3, F530, LA21 and LE311. Angle of interaction between 447D and V3 was shown by superimposing the Fab fragment of the Ab with V3. 447D was shown to interact with V3 from a nearly identical angle as MAb 58.2. Pantophlet2008 (antibody binding site, neutralization, structure)
447-52D: A new purification method was developed using a high affinity peptide mimicking CD4 as a ligand in affinity chromatography. This allowed the separation in one step of HIV envelope monomer from cell supernatant and capture of pre-purified trimer. Binding of 447-52D to gp120SF162 purified by the miniCD4 affinity chromatography and a multi-step method was comparable, suggesting that the miniCD4 allows the separation of HIV-1 envelope with intact 447-52D epitope. gp140DF162ΔV2 was purified by the miniCD4 method to assess its ability to capture gp140 trimers. Purified gp140DF162ΔV2 was recognized by 447-52D, and the k-off value for 447-52D was reduced compared to gp120SF162 monomer, consistent with the gp140DF162ΔV2 trimeric conformation. Binding of 447-52D to gp140DF162ΔV2 purified by the miniCD4 affinity chromatography and a multi-step method was comparable, suggesting that the SF162 trimer antigenicity was preserved. Martin2008 (assay or method development, kinetics, binding affinity)
447-52D: Variable domains of three heavy chain Abs, the VHH, were characterized. The Abs were isolated from llamas, who produce immunoglobulins devoid of light chains, immunized with HIV-1 CRF07_BC, to gp120. It was hypothesized that the small size of the VHH, in combination with their protruding CDR3 loops, and their preference for cleft recognition and binding into active sites, may allow for recognition of conserved motifs on gp120 that are occluded from conventional Abs. 447-52D provided some inhibition of binding of the three neutralizing VHH Abs to gp120, suggesting that 447-52D imposes steric hinderance to binding of the VHH Abs to gp120. Forsman2008 (antibody interactions)
447-52D: 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. V3 Ab activity was measured by three assays where 447-52D was used as a control. A V3 peptide derived from the N-terminal part of the V3 loop, including the crown, potently inhibited neutralization of several HIV-1 isolates by 447-52D, indicating that V3 Abs are commonly directed to the N-terminal part of the V3 loop. Binley2008 (neutralization)
447: 32 human HIV-1 positive sera neutralized most viruses from clades A, B, and C. Two of the sera stood out as particularly potent and broadly reactive. Two CD4-binding site defective mutant Env proteins were generated to evaluate whether Abs to the CD4-binding site are involved in the neutralizing activity of the two sera. The integrity of the wildtype and mutant proteins was tested to their reactivity to the 447 Ab. Li2007a (binding affinity)
447-52D: HIV-1 env clones resistant to cyanovirin (CV-N), a carbohydrate binding agent, showed amino acid changes that resulted in deglycosylation of high-mannose type residues in the C2-C4 region of gp120. Compared to their parental virus HIV-1 IIIB, these resistant viruses were over 200 times more sensitive to 447-52D, indicating that deglycosylation in CV-N resistant viruses is likely to make the V3 loop more accessible to Abs. Hu2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization, escape)
447-52D: Five amino acids in the gp41 N-terminal region that promote gp140 trimerization (I535, Q543, S553, K567 and R588) were considered. Their influence on the function and antigenic properties of JR-FL Env expressed on the surfaces of pseudoviruses and Env-transfected cells was studied. Various non-neutralizing antibodies bind less strongly to the Env mutant, but neutralizing antibody binding is unaffected. 447-52D captured modestly (but not significantly) fewer mutant pseudovirions than wild type, neutralization was not tested. Dey2008 (binding affinity)
447D: The study explores how the V1 loop of Env influences the neutralization susceptibilities of heterologous viruses to antibodies elicited by the SF162gp140 immunogen. When the V1 loop of the heterologous isolates was replaced by the V1 loop present on the DF162go140 immunogen, these isolates became susceptible to neutralization by anti-V3 MAb 447D, indicating that the V1 loop plays an important role in the resistance of heterologous viruses to neutralization. Ching2008 (neutralization)
447-52D: The study determined a crystal structure of Fab 447-52D in complex with a V3 peptide NNTRKSIHLGPGRAFYATGDIIG at 2.1 A resolution. The structure revealed an extended CDR H3 loop that forms a β-sheet with the peptide, with predominantly main-chain hydrogen bonds contacts. There was high structural homology with reported structures of other Fab 447-52D complexes, indicating that the V3 loop may adopt a small set of conserved structures around the crown of the β-hairpin. Dhillon2008 (structure)
447-52D: 447-52D bound only to V3 peptides from the three isolates (MN, SHIVsf162p3 and clade B consensus) which contain GPGR motif. 447-52D did not recognize one B consensus peptide that did contain GPGR motif. Glycosylation of the position 154 in V1 was more important for the protection of the virus from this Ab than glycosylation of the position 195 in V2. 447-52D neutralized chimeric viruses 89.6/SF162V1, JRFL/SF162V1, YU2/SF162V1 and HxB2/SF162V1 more efficiently than their wildtype counterparts, indicating that the accessibility of the V3 loop is affected by the nature of the V1 loop. Derby2007 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: The epitope recognition sequence for this Ab was introduced into the corresponding region of SIVmac239 either alone or together with epitopes for Abs 2F5 and 4E10. The infectivity and replicative capacity of SIV239/447-52D and SIV239/447-52D/2F5/4E10 were, however, not detectable and too low, respectively, to be used for further analyses. Yuste2006 (SIV)
447-52D: The neutralizing capacity and binding of this Ab to the V3 region of gp120, as well as resistance to neutralization in different HIV-1 clades are reviewed. Pantophlet2006 (antibody binding site, neutralization, review, subtype comparisons, structure)
447-52D: This Ab was shown to neutralize SF162 and the neutralization sensitivity increased in the SF162 variant with a JR-FL V3 loop, SF162(JR-FL V3). In contrast, a great reduction in sensitivity to neutralization was observed in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) variant and was somewhat restored in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2/V3) variant, indicating that the masking of the V1/V2 loop plays a much greater role in restricting neutralization sensitivity than the variations in V3. This Ab was shown to neutralize viruses with V3 sequences from several different subtypes (B, F, A1, CRF02_AG, H and CRF01_AE) except subtype C. This Ab failed to neutralize SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) with V3 derived from different HIV-1 clades indicating effective V1/V2-mediated masking of several HIV-1 clades. The effect on the neutralization sensitivity of the residue at the crown of the V3 loop (position 18) was shown to be great for this Ab. Krachmarov2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: The G314E escape variant highly resistant to KD-247 was shown to be more sensitive to 447-52D than the wildtype virus. 447-52D was shown to be able to bind well to both mutant and wildtype surface-expressed Envs. Yoshimura2006 (escape, binding affinity)
47-52D: Binding of this Ab to three V3 peptides was compared to binding of Ab 2219 to the same peptides. 447-52D was shown to bind to V3 MN and V3 UG1033 but not to V3 UR29. Stanfield2006 (variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)
447-52D: This MAb was derived from plasma from a patient with env clade B virus with the GPGR V3 motif. When cross-reactivity was tested, this Ab bound to the V3subtypeB-fusion protein containing GPGR motif but not to the V3subtypeA-fusion protein containing GPGQ motif. This Ab was also shown to be able to neutralize both clade B psSF162 (GPGR) and clade C psMW965 (GPGQ) virus, and four of subtype B and two of non-B primary isolates. Gorny2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Escape variants with the V3 P313L mutation, or V2 R166K, D167N and P175L mutations, were resistant or partially resistant, respectively, to 447-52D. Binding of 447-52D to surface-expressed Env proteins with the V2 mutations was lowered compared to the binding to viruses with no mutations. Binding to surface-expressed Env proteins with the V3 mutation was comparable to the negative control values. Binding affinity of this Ab for different combinations of V2 and V3 mutants was also tested. Shibata2007 (escape, binding affinity)
447-52D: This Ab was used in the analysis of clade C gp140 (97CN54) antigenicity and was shown to bind with relatively high avidity to the molecule and to dissociate substantially within 420 s. It was also used as a positive control in the neutralization assay. Sheppard2007a (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, kinetics, binding affinity)
447-52D: Compared to the full-length Con-S gp160, chimeric VLPs containing Con-S ΔCFI gp145 with transmembrane (TM) and cytoplasmic tail (CT) sequences derived from the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), showed higher binding capacity to 447-52D. Chimeric VLPs with only CT derived from MMTV also showed higher binding capacity to 447-52D than the full-length Con-S gp160, however, not as high as the chimeric CT-TM VLPs. Wang2007a (binding affinity)
447-52D: The major infectivity and neutralization differences between a PBMC-derived HIV-1 W61D strain and its T-cell line adapted counterpart were conferred by the interactions of three Env amino acid substitutions, E440G, D457G and H564N. Chimeric Env-pseudotyped virus Ch5, containing all three of the mutations, was more neutralization sensitive to 447-52D than Ch2, which did not contain any of these mutations. Env-pseudotyped viruses containing D457G mutation alone, or in combination with E440G or H564N, were also more sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D than Ch2. Beddows2005a (neutralization)
447-52D: The structure of the 447-52D MAb and its mechanisms of the V3 loop GPGR motif recognition and binding are reviewed. Engineering of Abs based on revealed structures of broadly neutralizing MAbs is discussed. Burton2005 (antibody binding site, review, structure)
447-52D: Monomeric gp120 and trimeric gp140CF proteins synthesized from an artificial group M consensus Env gene (CON6) bound well to 447-52D, indicating correct exposure of the 447-52D epitope. Gao2005a (antibody binding site)
447-D: This Ab was used as a control in a peptide adsorption assay. 447-D neutralized the SF162 primary isolate to 95%. When 447-D was pre-incubated with BaL or YU2 V3 loop peptides, nearly all neutralizing activity was inhibited. Grundner2005 (neutralization)
447-52D: The crystal and nuclear magnetic resonance structures of V3-reactive antibody-peptide complexes were examined. 447-52D completely surrounded V3, suggesting a high degree of accessibility for generating an immune response. Accessibility of V3 to this MAb is shown in a 3D figure. Huang2005 (antibody binding site, structure)
447-52D: A series of genetically modified Env proteins were generated and expressed in both insect and animal cells to be monitored for their antigenic characteristics. For 447-52D, five of the modified proteins expressed in insect cells, including 3G mutant (mutations in 3 glycosylation sites), dV1V2 mutant (V1V2 deletions), 3G-2G, 3G-dV2, and 3G-dV2-1G (1G being a mutation near the TM domain), showed higher binding than the wildtype. Of these, the 3G-dV2-1G mutant showed highest binding to 447-52D, indicating that glycosylation of the gp41 domain may affect exposure of the V3 loop. Expressed in animal cells, mutants dV2 and 3G-dV1V2 showed increased binding to 447-52D at relatively high Ab concentrations compared to the wildtype Env. Kang2005 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
447D: Full-length gp160 clones were derived from acute and early human HIV-1 infections and used as env-pseudotyped viruses in neutralization assays for their characterization as neutralization reference agents. 2 out of 19 pseudoviruses were sensitive to neutralization by 447D, as was the SF162.LS strain. Li2005a (assay or method development, neutralization)
447: Pseudoviruses expressing HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins from BL01, BR07 and 89.6 strains were compared in neutralization assays to replication competent clone derived from transfection of 293T cells (IMC-293T) and to the IMC-293T derived from a single passage through PBMC (IMC-PBMC). The neutralization responses of pseudoviruses and corresponding IMC-293T to 447 were similar, while a significant decrease in viral neutralization sensitivity to 447 was observed for the BR07 and 89.6 IMC-PBMC viruses. The decrease was associated with an increase in average virion envelope glycoprotein content on the PBMC-derived virus. Louder2005 (assay or method development, neutralization)
447-52D: The structure of V3 HIV-1 peptides derived from IIIB and MN isolates when bound to 447-52D was determined by NMR. It was observed that the two different V3 peptides assumed same N-terminal strand conformation when bound to this Ab. V3 peptide IIIB bound to Ab 0.5β differed from the same peptide bound to 447-52D by 180 degrees N-terminal chain orientation. It is suggested that the conformation of an Ab-bound V3 peptide is dictated not only by the peptide sequence but also by an induced fit to the specific Ab. Dominant interactions of 447-52D with three conserved N-terminal residues may be responsible for the broadly neutralizing capability of this Ab. Rosen2005 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, variant cross-reactivity, structure)
447-52D: 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 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, review, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: gp120 alone and gp120 bound to CD4D12 (the first two domains of human CD4) or to M9 (a 27-residue CD4 analog) were used to immunize guinea pigs. Only sera from the gp120-CD4D12 immunized animals showed broadly neutralizing activity. Sera from gp120-CD4D12 and gp120 immunized animals competed equally well with 447-52D, indicating that the V3-loop was accessible in both immunogens. Varadarajan2005 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: 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, neutralization, review, structure)
447-52D: MAbs were investigated in different neutralization formats, including the standard format that measures activity over the entire infection period and several formats that emphasize various stages of infection. Visualization of Env-Ab binding was conducted by BN-PAGE band shifts. 447-52D binding to trimer was completely dependent on sCD4, consistent with neutralization. Crooks2005 (antibody binding site, assay or method development, neutralization)
447-52D: This review summarizes data on 447-52D-V3 and 447-52D-V3 peptide X-ray crystallographic structures and NMRs and its neutralization capabilities. The binding mechanism of this Ab to V3 explains its ability to neutralize a wide array of viral isolates. Conformation of the V3 peptide bound to 447-52D is very similar to its conformation when bound to mouse Abs 50.1, 59.1 and 83.1. Stanfield2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, review, structure)
447-52D: A T-cell line adapted strain (TCLA) of CRF01_AE primary isolate DA5 (PI) was more neutralization sensitive to 447-52D than the primary isolate. Mutant virus derived from the CRF01_AE PI strain, that lacked N-linked glycosylation at position 197 in the C2 region of gp120, was significantly more sensitive to neutralization by 447-52D then the PI strain. Mutants at positions 138 in V1 and 461/464 in V5 showed lower sensitivity to neutralization by 447-52D. Deglycosylated subtype B mutants at positions 197 and 234 were slightly more neutralizable by 447-52D. Teeraputon2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: In addition to gp120-gp41 trimers, HIV-1 particles were shown to bear nonfunctional gp120-gp41 monomers and gp120-depleted gp41 stumps on their surface. 447-52D moderately neutralized wildtype virus particles. It effectively bound to nonfunctional monomers but not to gp120-gp41 trimers. Monomer binding did not correlate with neutralization, but it did correlate with virus capture. It is hypothesized that the nonfunctional monomers on the HIV-1 surface serve to divert the Ab response, helping the virus to avoid neutralization. Moore2006 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
447D: Macaques were immunized with SF162gp140, ΔV2gp140, ΔV2ΔV3gp140 and ΔV3gp140 constructs and their antibody responses were compared to the broadly reactive NAb responses in a macaque infected with SHIV SF162P4, and with pooled sera from humans infected with heterologous HIV-1 isolates (HIVIG). 447D recognized SF162gp140 and ΔV2gp140 equally and failed to recognize ΔV2ΔV3gp140 and ΔV3gp140. Derby2006 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: 447-52D was not found to inhibit binding of gp120 to DC-SIGN. This Ab bound to Fc-gp120 construct but not to the chimeras missing the V3 loop. Binley2006 (binding affinity)
447-52D: 29 subtype B V3 peptides were designed and used for immunization of guinea pigs. Peptides that induced Abs that neutralized more than 3 HIV isolates were shown to bind to this Ab better than peptides unable to induce neutralization of any of the HIV-1 primary isolates. Haynes2006 (neutralization, binding affinity)
447-52D: Cloned Envs (clades A, B, C, D, F1, CRF01_AE, CRF02_AG, CRF06_cpx and CRF11_cpx) derived from donors either with or without broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies were shown to be of comparable susceptibility to neutralization by 447-52D. Cham2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Guinea-pigs were immunized with 447-52D epitope inserted at three different surface V3 loop locations in the small Escherichia coli Trx protein in order to generate a competent immunogen. Only one complex was shown to successfully generate anti-V3 Abs capable of out-competing 447-52D binding to gp120 and recognizing the same epitope as this Ab. However, these 447-52D-like Abs were not able to affect neutralization of JRFL and BAL. Chakraborty2006 (neutralization, vaccine antigen design, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)
447-52D: The ability of this Ab to inhibit viral growth was increased when macrophages and immature dendritic cells (iDCs) were used as target cells instead of PHA-stimulated PBMCs. It is suggested that inhibition of HIV replication by this Ab for macrophages and iDCs can occur by two distinct mechanisms, neutralization of infectivity involving only the Fab part of the IgG, and, an IgG-FcγR-dependent interaction leading to endocytosis and degradation of HIV particles. Holl2006 (dendritic cells)
447-52D: Inhibition of R5 HIV replication by monoclonal and polyclonal IgGs and IgAs in iMDDCs was evaluated. The neutralizing activity of 447-52D was observed to be higher in iMDDCs than in PBLs and PHA-stimulated PBMCs. A 90% reduction of HIV infection was observed without induction of MDDC maturation by this MAb. It was also demonstrated that binding of this MAb to HIV-1 was necessary for inhibition of iMDDC infection. Increased expression of FcγRI on iMDDCs increased inhibition of HIV by 447-52D, suggesting the involvement of this receptor in the HIV-inhibitory activity of this MAb. Holl2006a (neutralization, dendritic cells)
447-52D: The neutralization potency of this Ab against 7 HIV-1 primary isolates was compared to the neutralization potency of the anti-V3 MAb KD-247. Same Ab concentrations were needed for neutralization of the MN, N-NIID, and 92TH022 isolates, while higher concentrations of 447-52D were needed for the neutralization of the rest of the HIV-1 isolates suggesting KD-247 is more potent. Eda2006a
447-52D: In this study the neutralization breadth of F425 B4e8 was assessed using a panel of 40 primary HIV-1 isolates, and 447-52D was found to have a similar profile, and was used as a control to gauge the effects of the amino acid substitutions in the V3 region. As expected, replacing Arg 315 with Ala or Gln and Pro 313 with Ala reduced binding affinity of this 447-52D substantially. Ala substitutions of residues in positions 304-309 and 319-320 also unexpectedly resulted in diminished binding affinity of the Ab. Pantophlet2007 (antibody binding site, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Z13e1, a high affinity variant of Fab Z13, was identified through targeted mutagenesis and affinity selection against gp41 and an MPER peptide. Z13e1 showed 100-fold improvement in binding affinity for MPER antigens over Z13. 447-52D was used as a control in this study. 447-52D was shown to clearly bind to monomers of gp120-gp41 while trimer binding was negligible, in accordance with its modest neutralization potency against HIV-1 JR-FL. Nelson2007 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: G1 and G2 recombinant gp120 proteins, consisting of 2F5 and 4E10, and 4E10 epitopes, respectively, engrafted into the V1/V2 region of gp120, were tested as an immunogen to see if they could elicit MPER antibody responses. Deletion of V1/V2 from gp120, or its replacement with G1 and G2 grafts, did not greatly affect binding of 447-52D to gp120. Shortening of the N and C termini of the V3 loop enhanced the binding of 447-52D. Law2007 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: This review describes the effectiveness of the current HIV-1 immunogens in eliciting neutralizing antibody responses to different clades of HIV-1. It also summarizes different evasion and antibody escape mechanisms, as well as the most potent neutralizing MAbs and their properties. MAbs reviewed in this article are: 2G12, IgG1b12, 2F5, 4E10, A32, 447-52D and, briefly, D50. Novel immunogen design strategies are also discussed. Haynes2006a (neutralization)
447-52D: Viruses from early and late infection of a macaque with SHIV SF162P4 were resistant to contemporaneous serum that had broadly reactive NAbs. SF162 was highly susceptible to neutralization by anti-V3 MAbs 447D and P3E1, as well as anti-V1 MAb P3C8, while envelopes cloned from this animal at 304 days and at 643 days (time of death) post infection had developed resistance to all three of these antibodies. Kraft2007 (neutralization, escape)
447-52D: This Ab was used to help define the antigenic profile of envelopes used in serum depletion experiments to attempt to define the neutralizing specificities of the broadly cross-reactive neutralizing serum. Peptides containing epitopes for 447-52D did not inhibit neutralization by broadly neutralizing sera from two clade B and one clade A infected asymptomatic individuals, indicating that the V3 epitope for this MAb did not account for the broad neutralizing activity observed. 447-52D bound to JR-FL and JR-CSF gp120 monomers but not to core JR-CSF gp120 monomer. Dhillon2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
447-52D: Antigens were designed to attempt to target immune responses toward the IgG1b12 epitope, while minimizing antibody responses to less desirable epitopes. One construct had a series of substitutions near the CD4 binding site (GDMR), the other had 7 additional glycans (mCHO). The 2 constructs did not elicit b12-like neutralizing antibodies, but both antigens successfully dampened other responses that were intended to be dampened while not obscuring b12 binding. V3 MAbs (447-52D, 19b, F245-B4e8 and 39F) bound to the GDMR antigen, but either did not bind or had diminished binding to mCHO. Selvarajah2005 (vaccine-induced immune responses, Th2)
447-52D: This study is about the V2 MAb C108g, which is type-specific and neutralizes BaL and HXB2. JR-FL is a neutralization resistant strain; modification of JRFL at V2 positions 167 and 168 (GK->DE) created a C108g epitope, and C108g could potently neutralize the modified JR-FL. The modification in V2 also increased neutralization sensitivity to V3 MAbs 4117c, 2219, 2191, and 447-52D (447-52D was the only one of the 4 V3 MAbs that could neutralize the unmodified JRFL); but only had minor effects on neutralization by CD4BS MAb 5145A, and broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, and 2F5. Pinter2005 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: The HIV-1 Bori-15 variant was adapted from the Bori isolate for replication in microglial cells. Bori-15 had increased replication in microglial cells and a robust syncytium-forming phenotype, ability to use low levels of CD4 for infection, and increased sensitivity to neutralization by sCD4 and 17b. Four amino acid changes in gp120 V1-V2 were responsible for this change. Protein functionality and integrity of soluble, monomeric gp120-molecules derived from parental HIV-1 Bori and microglial-adapted HIV-1 Bori-15 was assessed in ELISA binding assays using CD4BS MAbs F105 and IgG1b12, glycan-specific 2G12, and V3-specific 447-52D, and were unchanged. Association rates of sCD4 and 17b were not changed, but dissociation rates were 3-fold slower for sCD4 and 14-fold slower for 17b. Martin-Garcia2005 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: The epitope for the MAb D19 is conserved and embedded in V3. D19 is unique in that for R5 viruses, it was cryptic and did not bind without exposure to sCD4, and for X4 and R5X4 isolates it was constitutively exposed. It had an overlapping binding region with MAbs 447-52D, B4e8, and 268-D, but different reactivity patterns and fine specificity. While B4e8 and 447-52D could bind to the R5 virus BaL in the absence of sCD4, treatment with sCD4 did increase the binding of both B4e8 and 447-52D, but did not impact their ability to neutralize BaL. Lusso2005 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: Sera from subtype A infected individuals from Cameroon have antibodies that react strongly with subtype A and subtype B V3 loops in fusion proteins, and neutralize SF162 pseudotypes, while sera from 47 subtype B infected individuals reacted only with subtype B. Sera from Cameroon did not neutralize primary A or B isolates, due to indirect masking by the V1/V2 domain rather than due to loss of the target epitope. Neutralization by anti-V3 B clade specific MAbs 447-52D and 4117C was fully blocked by a clade V3 loop fusion protein, but not an A clade fusion protein, while Cameroonian sera neutralization was fully blocked by both A and B clade fusion proteins. Krachmarov2005 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: 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. 447-52D has no indication of polyspecific autoreactivity. Haynes2005 (antibody binding site)
447-52d: 2909 is a human anti-Env NAb that was selected by a neutralization assay and binds to the quaternary structure on the intact virion. ELISA-based competition assays and subsequent mutational analysis determined that the CD4BS and V2 and V3 loops contribute to the 2909 epitope: 2909 binding was inhibited by MAbs 447-52d (anti-V3), 830A (anti-V2), and IgG1b12 (anti-CD4BS) and sCD4. 2909 was not inhibited by MAbs 670, 1418, nor 2G12. Gorny2005
447-52D: By adding N-linked glycosylation sites to gp120, epitope masking of non-neutralizing epitopes can be achieved leaving the IgG1b12 binding site intact. This concept was originally tested with the addition of four glycosylation sites, but binding to b12 was reduced. It was modified here to exclude the C1 N-terminal region, and to include only three additional glycosylation sites. This modified protein retains full b12 binding affinity and it masks other potentially competing epitopes, and does not bind to 21 other MAbs to 7 epitopes on gp120, including 447-52D. Pantophlet2004 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: 93 viruses from different clades were tested for their neutralization cross-reactivity using a panel of HIV antibodies. Neutralization outside of the B clade was very rare, and seemed to depend on the presence of a GPGR V3 tip, which is rare outside of the B clade. Binley2004 (variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Analysis of the conformation of 447-52D in complex with the V3MN18 peptide (gp12 aa 310-329, KRKRIHIGPGRAFYTTKN) was undertaken using solid state NMR. The bound peptide had a well-defined constrained structure that was in good agreement with solution NMR and crystallographic studies. Sharpe2004 (structure)
447-52D: A primary isolate, CC1/85, was passaged 19 times in PBMC and gradually acquired increased sensitivity to FAb b12 and sCD4 that was attributed to changes in the V1V2 loop region, in particular the loss of a potential glycosylation site. The affinity for sCD4 was unchanged in the monomer, suggesting that the structural impact of the change was manifested at the level of the trimer. The passaged virus, CCcon19, retained an R5 phenotype and its neutralization susceptibility to other Abs was essentially the same as CC1/85. 447-52D did not neutralize the primary or passaged variant. Pugach2004 (variant cross-reactivity, viral fitness and reversion)
447-52D: V1V2 was determined to be the region that conferred the neutralization phenotype differences between two R5-tropic primary HIV-1 isolates, JRFL and SF162. JRFL is resistant to neutralization by many sera and MAbs, while SF162 is sensitive. All MAbs tested, anti-V3, -V2, -CD4BS, and -CD4i, (except the broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2F5, and 2G12, which neutralized both strains), neutralized the SF162 pseudotype but not JRFL, and chimeras that exchanged the V1V2 loops transferred the neutralization phenotype. 5/6 anti-V3 MAbs, including 447-52D, had similar binding affinity to soluble SF162 and JR-FL rgp120s, although the V3 loop differs at three positions (HigpgrafyTtgE for JR-FL and TigpgrafyAtgD for SF162). Pinter2004 (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Sera from two HIV+ people and a panel of MAbs were used to explore susceptibility to neutralization in the presence or absence of glycans within or adjacent to the V3 loop and within the C2, C4 and V5 regions of HIV-1 SF162 env gp120. The loss of the any of three glycans within or adjacent to the V3 loop (GM299 V3), C2 (GM292 C2), C3 (GM329 C3) increased neutralization susceptibility to 447-52D, but C4 (GM438 C4) or V5 (GM454 V5) removal did not make SF162 more sensitive. V3 glycans tended to shield V3 loop, CD4 and co-receptor MAb binding sites, while C4 and V5 glycans shielded V3 loop, CD4, gp41 but not co-receptor MAb binding sites. Selective removal of glycans from a vaccine candidate may enable greater access to neutralization susceptible epitopes. McCaffrey2004 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: The role of serine proteases on HIV infection was explored. Trypsin decreased the binding of most Env MAb tested and diminished cell fusion of H9 cells infected with HIV-1 LAI virus (H9/IIIB) to MAGI cells. In contrast, thrombin increased the binding of MAbs to gp120 epitopes near the CD4 and CCR5 binding sites, and increased cell fusion. Binding of the V3 MAbs 694-98D and 447-52D, that both bind near the tip of the loop, was decreased by both thrombin and trypsin. Ling2004 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: V3 MAb neutralization is influenced by retaining the epitope, exposure on the intact virion, mobility during CD4-induced conformational change, and affinity. Anti-V3 MAbs selected using V3 peptides neutralize less effectively than V3 MAbs selected using fusion proteins or gp120, suggesting antigenic conformation is important. This MAb was selected using V3 peptides, but was an exception in that it is cross-neutralizing. 447-52D neutralized 12/13 clade B viruses. Gorny2004 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: This review provides summaries of Abs that bind to HIV-1 Env. There are many V3 MAbs, many neutralize some TCLA strains, and a subset can also neutralize some primary isolates. The set that can cross-neutralize primary isolates (2182, 2191, 2219, 2412, 2442, 2456) bind V3 but are conformationally sensitive, suggesting some structural conservation despite sequence variation. These MAbs have distinct epitopes relative to 447-52D, a MAb directed at the tip of the V3 loop that also can neutralize many primary isolates. Although 447-52D was selected using a peptide, it has conformational characteristics. Inter-clade cross-neutralization by anti-V3 conformation-dependent MAbs is reduced. Gorny2003 (antibody binding site, review)
447-52D: This paper attempts to engineer a gp120 molecule that would focus the immune response onto the IgG1b12 epitope. Adding a glycosylation sequon (P313N) to the V3 loop knocked out binding to anti-V3 MAbs loop 2, 19b and 447-52-D. Pantophlet2003b (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: scFv 4KG5 reacts with a conformational epitope that is formed by the V1V2 and V3 loops and the bridging sheet (C4) region of gp120 and is influenced by carbohydrates. Of a panel of MAbs tested, only NAb b12 enhanced 4KG5 binding to gp120 JRFL. MAbs to the following regions diminished 4KG5 binding: V2 loop, V3 loop, V3-C4 region, CD4BS. MAbs directed against C1, CD4i, C5 regions didn't impact 4KG5 binding. These results suggest that the orientation or dynamics of the V1/V2 and V3 loops restricts CD4BS access on the envelope spike, and IgG1b12 can uniquely remain unaffected by these loops. This was one of the V3 MAbs used. Zwick2003a (antibody interactions)
447-52D: The Fv fragment (composed of just the light and heavy variable regions, and the smallest intact binding unit of an Ab) of 447-52 D was expressed and purified. Preliminary NMR with the peptide epitope indicates that an NMR structure determination is feasible. Kessler2003 (antibody sequence, structure)
447-52D: The SOS mutant envelope protein introduces a covalent disulfide bond between gp120 surface and gp41 transmembrane proteins into the R5 isolate JR-FL by adding cysteines at residues 501 and 605. Pseudovirions bearing this protein bind to CD4 and co-receptor bearing cells, but do not fuse until treatment with a reducing agent, and are arrested prior to fusion after CD4 and co-receptor engagement. 447-52D was able to neutralize the SOS protein better than the wildtype, but did not neutralize SOS well when added post-attachment, as the V3 loop is involved in co-receptor engagement. Binley2003 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: Virion capture assays are not a good predictor of neutralization, and the presentation of epitopes using this assay seems to be different from that of functional Envelope spikes on primary isolates -- F105 and b6 could efficiently block the b12-mediated capture of infectious virions in a virus capture, but did not inhibit b12 neutralization -- Ab 447-52D was able to potently neutralize 89.6 and to neutralize JR-CSF at a high concentration but poorly neutralized ADA -- b12 was potent at neutralizing the three primary virions JR-CSF, ADA, and 89.6, but anti-V3 Abs 447-52D and 19b, which did not neutralize JR-CSF and ADA, captured amounts of p24 equal to or higher than the amounts captured by the neutralizing Ab b12. Poignard2003 (antibody binding site, assay or method development, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Review of NAbs. Ferrantelli2002
447-52D: Transgenic mice carrying human genes allowing production of fully human MAbs were used to rapidly create a panel of anti-HIV gp120 MAb producing hybridomas by immunization with HIV SF162 gp120 -- the previously described human MAbs 5145A(CD4BS) , 4117C (plus others, V3) and 697D (and SC258, V2) were used as controls. He2002
447-52D: Conformation-dependent anti-V3 loop Abs may be more cross-reactive, so six new V3 MAbs were generated -- the six new MAbs all bind to the tip of the V3 loop and cross-compete with the MAb 447-52D and are conformationally sensitive -- MAbs showed cross-clade binding to native, intact virions of clades A(N=2), B(N=4), and F(N=2), limited binding to C(N=3) and D(N=3), and did not bind to CRF01(subtype E, N=2) -- the strength binding was highly correlated with percent neutralization using the ghost cell or PHA blast assay -- five well-characterized MAbs were used as controls: anti-V3 447-52D (anti-V3 MAb for competition and neutralization studies), 654 (anti-CD4BS used as a conformation-sensitive MAb control), 1331A (anti-C5 used as a linear binding site MAb control), MAb 246 (anti-gp41 MAb that bound to primary isolates of all clades) -- 447-52D bound to primary isolates from all clades except CRF01 (E), was conformationally sensitive and showed the some of the most potent neutralizing activity. Gorny2002 (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: The feasibility of determining the NMR structure of the V3(MN) peptide bound to the 447-52D Fab fragment was tested and a general strategy for obtaining NMR structures of V3 peptide-Fab fragments developed -- preliminary NMR spectra for 447-52D complexed to a 23 amino acid V3 peptide was obtained. Sharon2002 (structure)
447-52D: Oligomeric gp140 (o-gp140) derived from R5 primary isolate US4 was characterized for use as a vaccine reagent---antigen capture ELISA was used to compare the antigenicity of gp120 and o-gp140 using a panel of well characterized MAbs---447-D recognized the gp120 monomer much more readily than o-gp140, suggesting the V3 loop is less exposed on o-gp140 and on intact virions. Srivastava2002 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: A panel of 12 MAbs was used to identify those that could neutralize the dual-tropic primary isolate HIV-1 89.6 -- six gave significant neutralization at 2 to 10 ug/ml: 2F5, 50-69, IgG1b12, 447-52D, 2G12, and 670-D six did not have neutralizing activity: 654-D, 4.8D, 450-D, 246-D, 98-6, and 1281 -- no synergy, only additive effects were seen for pairwise combinations of MAbs, and antagonism was noted between gp41 MAbs 50-69 and 98-6, as well as 98-6 and 2F5. Verrier2001 (antibody interactions, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Abs against the V3 loop (50.1, 58.2, 59.1, 257-D, 268-D, 447-52D), CD4BS (IgG1b12, 559-64D, F105), CD4i (17b), and to gp41 (2F5, F240) each showed similar binding efficiency to Env derived from related pairs of primary and TCLA lines (primary: 168P and 320SI, and TCLA: 168C and 320SI-C3.3), but the TCLA lines were much more susceptible to neutralization suggesting that the change in TCLA lines that make them more susceptible to NAbs alters some step after binding -- the dissociation constant, Kd of 447-52D for the cell associated primary and TCLA Envs was equal, 3nM. York2001 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)
447-52D: Six mutations in MN change the virus from a high-infectivity neutralization resistant phenotype to low-infectivity neutralization sensitive -- V3, CD4BS, and CD4i MAbs are 20-100 fold more efficient at neutralizing the sensitive form -- the mutation L544P reduced binding of all MAbs against gp120 by causing conformational changes. Park2000 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: A panel of 47 human MAbs was tested against 26 HIV-1 group M primary isolates from clades A through H -- 19 V3 MAbs were tested, and of 494 combinations, 44% displayed some viral binding -- V3 MAbs tended to have the most cross-reactive binding to clade A, B, C, and D isolates, less to E, F, G, and H -- 447-52D showed the highest cross-reactivity, bound to 24/26 viruses tested, but achieved 90% neutralization only against MN, 50% against CA5, and no neutralization was observed for 3 other isolates tested. Nyambi2000 (subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Called 447D -- SF162 is a neutralization-resistant HIV-1 isolate -- N-linked glycosylation modifications in the V2 loop of the SF162 gp120 revealed that these sites prevent neutralization by CD4BS MAbs (IgG1b12 and IgGCD4), and protect against neutralization by V3 MAbs (447D and 391-95D) -- V2-region glycosylation site mutations did not alter neutralization resistance to V2 MAbs (G3.4 and G3.136) or CD4i MAbs (17b and 48d) -- V2 glycosylation site modification allows infection of macrophages, probably due to glycosylated forms requiring fewer CCR5 molecules for viral entry. Ly2000 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: Ab responses, because of their capacity to alter antigen uptake and processing, can influence helper T cell responses -- CD4BS MAbs or serum Ig from HIV+ individuals inhibited proliferative responses of gp120 specific T cells -- V3 MAbs 447-52-D and 268-10-D did not affect proliferation. Hioe2000
447-52D: To determine the antigenicity of virus killed by thermal and chemical inactivation, retention of conformation-dependent neutralization epitopes was examined, and exposure of CD4BS epitopes was found to be enhanced (MAbs IgG1b12, 205-46-9, and 205-43-1) -- binding to 2G12 and 447-52D epitopes was essentially unaltered -- the 17b CD4i epitope was also exposed. Grovit-Ferbas2000 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: Binding of panel of 21 MAbs to soluble oligomeric gp140 versus gp41 or gp120 monomers was compared -- no MAb was oligomer specific, though anti-V3 and CD4BS MAbs reacted better with the oligomer and V2 and C5 tended to favor the monomer -- V3 MAbs 447-52D, 838-D, and 1334 bound with a 7-10 fold preference for the oligomer. Gorny2000b (antibody binding site)
447-52D: rgp120 derived from a R5X4 subtype B virus, HIV-1 W61D, was used to vaccinate healthy volunteers and the resulting sera were compared with sera from HIV-1 positive subjects and neutralizing MAbs -- TCLA strains showed enhanced 447-52D neutralization sensitivity relative to PBMC-adapted lines (32X increase between HIV-1(M2424/PBMC(p0)) and HIV-1(M2424/H9(p9)) and a >128X increase between HIV-1(W61D/PBMC) and HIV-1(W61D/SupT1) isolates) Beddows1999 (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: The presence of leukocyte function-associated molecule 1 (LFA-1) promotes virus infectivity and hinders neutralization, and anti-LFA-1 MAbs can enhance the neutralizing effect of anti-HIV V3 MAb 447-52D and anti-HIV CD4BS MAb IgG1b12 -- non-neutralizing anti-HIV CD4BS MAb 654-D did not become neutralizing in the presence of anti-LFA-1 MAbs. Hioe1999
447-52D: MAb peptide-reactivity pattern clustered with the immunological related MAbs: 1334, 419, 504, 447, 453 and 537 -- the core amino acids GP tended to be critical for reactivity in this group -- 447 reacted with peptides containing GPGR, but also with many lacking this sequence (GPGQ, for example), and it failed to react with 2/14 peptides containing GPGR, illustrating the importance of context. Zolla-Pazner1999a (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Review of clade specificity and anti-V3 HIV-1-Abs. Zolla-Pazner1999b (review, subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Using a whole virion-ELISA method, 18 human MAbs were tested for their ability to bind to a panel of 9 viruses from clades A, B, D, F, G, and H -- 447-52D was the most potent and cross-reactive of 18 human MAbs tested and was the only MAb which bound to virions from isolates CA20 (subtype F), CA13 (subtype H), and VI526 (subtype G) Nyambi1998 (subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Kinetic parameters were measured, and the association rates were similar, but dissociation rate constants were quite variable for V3 MAbs, 1324E was comparable to 447-52D. Gorny1998 (kinetics)
447-52D: Ab from gp120 vaccinated individuals prior to infection, who subsequently became HIV infected, could not achieve 90% neutralization of the primary virus by which the individuals were ultimately infected -- these viruses were not particularly refractive to neutralization, as determined by their susceptibility to neutralization by MAbs 2G12, IgG1b12, 2F5 and 447-52D. Connor1998
447-52D: The MAb and Fab binding to the oligomeric form of gp120 and neutralization were highly correlated -- authors suggest that neutralization is determined by the fraction of Ab sites occupied on a virion irrespective of the epitope. Parren1998 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: Called 447-52-D -- The tip of the MN V3 loop was inserted into cold causing human rhinovirus 14 (HRV14) -- chimeras were immunoselected, and chimeric viruses were neutralized by anti-V3 loop antibodies, and 447-52D was among the Abs used -- chimeric viruses elicited potent NAbs in guinea pigs against ALA-1 and MN. Smith1998 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: Inhibits binding of Hx10 to both CD4 positive and negative HeLa cells. Mondor1998 (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Called 447-D -- 447-D resistance took longer to acquire in virus with the M184V substituted RT, and had the form (AAC N to TAC Y) at position 5 of the V3 loop, rather than the GPGR to GPGR resistance found with wildtype RT. Inouye1998
447-52D: Used as a control for comparison to five V3 RF selected antibodies -- 447-52D was reactive with A, B, and C clade peptides, but not E. Gorny1997 (subtype comparisons)
447-52D: Abs that recognize discontinuous epitopes can identify mimotopes from a phage peptide display library -- 447-52D has an epitope involving the tip of the V3 loop, that was previously studied with this method Keller1993 -- in Keller et al., with no competition, LxGPxR was the most common six-mer, 38% of the peptides -- after competition with a gp120 IIIB ligand (QRGPGR)i, RGPxR was the most common and one peptide had the sequence QRGPGR, showing type specific mimotopes can be enriched by strain specific ligand competition protocols Boots1997. Boots1997,Keller1993 (antibody binding site, mimotopes)
447-52D: Called 447 -- gp120 can inhibit MIP-1alpha from binding to CCR5, but this inhibitory effect is blocked by pre-incubation of gp120 with three anti-V3 MAbs: 447, 257, 1027 -- MAb 670 which binds in the C5 region had no effect. Hill1997 (co-receptor)
447-52D: Neutralizes TCLA strains but not primary isolates. Parren1997 (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Viral binding inhibition by 447-D was correlated with neutralization (all other neutralizing MAbs tested showed some correlation except 2F5) Ugolini1997 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: Four primary isolates showed distinct patterns of sensitivity to neutralization by polyclonal sera or plasma and MAbs -- BZ167 was the only isolate inhibited by all polyclonal sera and plasma tested, and was also neutralized by 8/17 MAbs, in particular anti-V3 loop (419-D, 447-52D, 782-D, and 838-D), anti-CD4bd (559/64-D, 654-D and 830-D and a cluster II of gp41 directed MAb (98-6) -- isolates 92HT593 and 91US056 were neutralized by V3 loop (419-D, and 447-52D)and cluster II gp41 (98-6) MAbs at higher concentrations -- US4 was neutralized by some of the polyclonal sera/plasma tested and not at all by MAbs individually or by a cocktail of ten MAbs consisting of 419-D, 447-52D, 782-D, 838-D, 559/64-D, 654-D, 450-D, 670-D, 1281-D and 98-6. Hioe1997b (variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Tested using a resting cell neutralization assay. Hioe1997 (assay or method development)
447-52D: Study shows neutralization is not predicted by MAb binding to JRFL monomeric gp120, but is associated with oligomeric Env binding -- 447-52D bound monomer, oligomer, and neutralized JRFL. Fouts1997 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: In a multilaboratory blinded study, failed to consistently neutralize any of nine B clade primary isolates -- many of these isolates had the GPGR motif at the apex of the V3 loop. DSouza1997 (assay or method development, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Review: called 447-52-D -- only four epitopes have been described which can stimulate a useful neutralizing response to a broad spectrum of primary isolates, represented by the binding sites of MAbs: 447-52-D, 2G12, Fab b12, and 2F5. Sattentau1996 (variant cross-reactivity, review)
447-52D: Neutralizes JR-FL -- strongly inhibits gp120 interaction with CCR-5 in a MIP-1beta-CCR-5 competition study. Trkola1996b (co-receptor, variant cross-reactivity)
447-52D: Called 447-52-D -- The sulfated polysaccharide curdlan sulfate (CRDS) binds to the Envelope of T-tropic viruses and neutralizes virus -- CRDS inhibits 447-52D binding. Jagodzinski1996 (antibody binding site)
447-52D: Neutralizing, no viral enhancing activity. Epitope provided as GPGR, but no details are given. Forthal1995 (complement, enhancing activity)

447-52D: Ab-mediated activation of complement on HIV+ cells is higher than Ab independent activation---what has been termed ''Ab independent'' in fact results in part from IgM in normal human serum that is HIV-cross-reactive. Saarloos1995 (complement)
447-52D: Called 447 -- The tip of the V3 loop was presented in a mucin backbone -- higher valency correlates with stronger affinity constant. Fontenot1995 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: Called 447d -- Formalin inactivation of virus at 0.1% formalin for 10 hours at 4 degrees was optimal for inactivation of virus while maintaining epitope integrity. Sattentau1995 (vaccine antigen design)
447-52D: Competition studies with human sera from seroconverting individuals showed that anti-CD4 BS antibodies can arise very early in infection, comparable or prior to anti-V3 antibodies. Moore1994d (acute/early infection)
447-52D: Mild oxidation of carbohydrate moieties does not alter binding. Gorny1994 (antibody binding site)

Most MAbs bound with high affinity to gp120 monomers from the various isolates, but were not effective at neutralizing. The MAb IgG1b12, which binds to a discontinuous anti-CD4 binding site epitope, was able to neutralize most of the primary isolates. PubMed ID: 7527081. Show all entries for this paper.

The authors propose that the occupancy of binding sites on HIV-1 virions is the major factor in determining neutralization, irrespective of epitope specificity. Neutralization was assayed T-cell-line-adapted HIV-1 isolates. Binding of Fabs to monomeric rgp120 was not correlated with binding to functional oligomeric gp120 or neutralization, while binding to functional oligomeric gp120 was highly correlated with neutralization. The ratios of oligomer binding/neutralization were similar for antibodies to different neutralization epitopes, with a few exceptions. PubMed ID: 9557629. Show all entries for this paper.

MAbs directed against the V3 region could induce C3 deposition on infected cells and virolysis of free virus, but antibodies to the CD4BS and C-terminal region and two regions in gp41 could induce no complement mediated effects. Pre-treatment with sCD4 could increase complement-mediated effects of anti-gp41 MAbs, but decreased the complement-mediated effects of V3 MAbs. Anti-gp41 MAbs were able to affect IIIB but not MN virolysis, suggesting spontaneous shedding of gp120 on IIIB virions exposes gp41 epitopes.

Dissociation Rate of Antibody-gp120 Binding Interactions Is Predictive of V3-Mediated Neutralization of HIV-1. J. Immunol., 153:449-459, 1994. Using surface plasmon resonance it was found that the rate of the dissociation of the MAb-gp120 complex, but not the association rate, correlated with MAbs ability to neutralize homologous virus (measured by 50\% inhibition of p24 production). Association constants were similar for all MAbs tested, varying less than 4-fold. Dissociation rate constants were quite variable, with 100-fold differences observed. PubMed ID: 7515931.

2297: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
2297: 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. The V2i MAbs tested were: 697, 830A, 1357, 1361, 1393, 2158, and 2297. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)

Despite sequence variability, the 7 mAbs recognize conserved immunologic features of V2, with 6 of them targeting similar epitopes. The crystal structure of the mAb 697 binding site was determined.

PG9: 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. PG9-Env formed a distinct group within the V1V2 category, Class PG9 and it has extensive D-gene contribution. Crystal structure data on B-cell culture identified PG9 Fab complexed to V1V2 region of strain ZM109 was found in PDB ID: 3U2S. Chuang2019 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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. Compared to PGT145, PG9 showed increased breadth, neutralization potency, and maximum percentage neutralization (MPN) in the presence of complex/hybrid glycans. In BG505.Env.C2 alanine-scanning neutralization assays, PG9 had similar results as CH01, consistent with both CH01 and PG9 being representatives of hammerhead-class, and very dissimilar results to PGT145-like antibodies. Lee2017 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
PG9: 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 the 4C and ABCM regimens, compared to the C97 regimen, were able to more successfully outcompete PG9 binding to gp140 antigens. Bricault2018 (antibody generation, vaccine-induced immune responses, polyclonal antibodies)
PG9: 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)
PG9: The authors mutated two conserved tyrosine (Y) residues within the V2 loop of gp120 Y177 and Y173, individually or in combination, by replacing them with either phenylalanine (F) or alanine (A) in a clade B, tier 1B HIV-1 Env protein (BaL), and in a number of tier 2 HIV-1 Envs from different clades, namely, BG505 (clade A), JR-FL and JR-CSF (clade B), and CM244 (clade E). A consistent hierarchy of neutralization sensitivity was seen among the mutants, with a greater impact of Y177 over Y173 single mutations, of double over single mutations, and of A over F substitutions. The double-alanine mutation in mutant HIV-1 BaL, Y173A Y177A, increased sensitivity to all the weakly neutralizing MAbs tested and even rendered the virus sensitive to non-neutralizing antibodies against the CD4 binding site, such as F105, 654-30D, and b13. When tested against bNAbs instead, there was a trend to decrease neutralization sensitivity compared to WT, with the exception of N6, PGT151, 10E8, and 2G12, for which there was no change, and of 2F5 and 4E10, which were more effective against the mutant compared to the WT. Guzzo2018 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
PG9: 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. PGT121, PG9, PG16, and CH01 bound better to the E153C/R178C/G152E mutant than to SOSIP.664. The I184C/E190C mutant bound all the V2 bNAbs (PG9, PG16, PGT145, VRC26.09, and CH01) better than SOSIP.664. I184C/E190C was more sensitive to neutralization by V2 bNAbs compared with BG505 (by 5-fold for PG9, 3-fold for PG16, 6-fold for CH01, and 3-fold for PGDM1400). deTaeye2019 (antibody interactions, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, structure, broad neutralizer)
PG9: The authors used genome-editing techniques (CRISPR-Cas9) to modify HIV specific B cell receptors. In particular, they replaced the heavy chain variable region in B cell lines with that from the HIV broadly neutralizing antibody PG9. The chimeric PG9 antibodies they created could neutralized one or more of the PG9-sensitive viruses, and most neutralized multiple viruses from different clades in a global panel, although none of the chimeric antibodies were as broadly neutralizing as the original PG9 HC/LC pair. Voss2019 (neutralization, antibody sequence, broad neutralizer, chimeric antibody)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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). Sather2014 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as V2 Ab and Clade B was resistant to PG9. Based on structural contacts for PG9, phylogenetically corrected signatures and statistical support for other V2 Abs contacts were analyzed. Bricault2019 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, computational epitope prediction, broad neutralizer)
PG9: The influence of a V2 State 2/3-stabilizing Env mutation, L193A, on ADCC responses mediated by sera from HIV-1-infected individuals was evaluated. Conformations spontaneously sampled by the Env trimer at the surface of infected cells had a significant impact on ADCC. State 1-preferring ligand PG9 recognized L193A variants of CH58 and CH77 IMCs with less efficiently compared to the WT. Prevost2018 (ADCC)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used in analysis of monoclonal bNAb combinations. Hraber2018 (assay or method development, neutralization)
PG9: 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)
PG9: This review discusses the identification of super-Abs, where and how such Abs may be best applied and future directions for the field. PG9, a prototype super-Ab, was isolated from direct functional screening of B cell clones from an HIV elite neutralizer and was an order of magnitude more potent than first-generation bNAbs. Recently recombinant native-like HIV Env trimers have enabled the identification of exceptionally potent ‘PG9-class’ bNAbs e.g., PG16, PGT141-144, CH01-04, PGDM1400–1412 and CAP256-VRC26.01-12.

PG9: The effects of 16 glycoengineering (GE) methods on the sensitivities of 293T cell-produced pseudoviruses (PVs) to a large panel of bNAbs were investigated. Some bNAbs were dramatically impacted. PG9 and were up to 30-fold more potent against PVs produced with co-transfected α-2,6 sialyltransferase. PGT151 and PGT121 were more potent against PVs with terminal SA removed. 35O22 and CH01 were more potent against PV produced in GNT1-cells. The effects of GE on bNAbs VRC38.01, VRC13 and PGT145 were inconsistent between Env strains, suggesting context-specific glycan clashes. Overexpressing β-galactosyltransferase during PV production 'thinned' glycan coverage, by replacing complex glycans with hybrid glycans. This impacted PV sensitivity to some bNAbs. Maximum percent neutralization by excess bnAb was also improved by GE. Remarkably, some otherwise resistant PVs were rendered sensitive by GE. Germline-reverted versions of some bnAbs usually differed from their mature counterparts, showing glycan indifference or avoidance, suggesting that glycan binding is not germline-encoded but rather, it is gained during affinity maturation. Overall, these GE tools provided new ways to improve bnAb-trimer recognition that may be useful for informing the design of vaccine immunogens to try to elicit similar bnAbs. Crooks2018 (vaccine antigen design, antibody lineage)
PG9: 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)
PG9: A rare glycan hole at the V2 apex is enriched in HIV isolates neutralized by inferred precursors of prototype V2-apex bNAbs. To investigate whether this feature could focus neutralizing responses onto the apex bnAb region, rabbits were immunized with soluble trimers adapted from these Envs. Potent autologous tier 2 neutralizing responses targeting basic residues in strand C of the V2 region, which forms the core epitope for V2-apex bnAbs, were observed. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) derived from these animals display features promising for subsequent broadening of the response. Four human anti-V2 bnAbs (PG9, CH01, PGT145, and CAP256.09) were used as a basis of comparison. Voss2017 (vaccine antigen design)
PG9: 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 showed low level of binding to PG9 in ELISA EC50 and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays. 6240.B gp120 exhibited binding to PG9. Wen2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
PG9: 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
PG9: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. PG9 is polyreactive, but not autoreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
PG9: 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)
PG9: A panel of 14 pseudoviruses of subtype CRF01_AE was developed to assess the neutralization of several neutralizing antibodies (b12, PG9, PG16, 4E10, 10E8, 2F5, PGT121, PGT126, 2G12). Neutralization was assessed in both TZM-bl and A3R5 cell-based assays. Most viruses were more susceptible to mAb-neutralization in A3R5 than in the TZM-bl cell-based assay. The increased neutralization sensitivity observed in the A3R5 assay was not linked to the year of virus transmission or to the stages of infection, but chronic viruses from the years 1990-92 were more sensitive to neutralization than the more current viruses, in both assays. Chenine2018 (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
PG9: 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. Hogan2018 (vaccine antigen design)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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. PG9 and PG16 were selected to represent mAbs of the V1-V2 glycan class. Cheeseman2017 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunoprophylaxis)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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 PG9 to JRFL was abolished by mutations N156K or N160K. Kesavardhana2017 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses)
PG9: 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. A bioinformatics analysis suggested shared features of one of the trimer VLP sera and monoclonal antibody PG9, consistent with its trimer-dependency. PG9 was 1 of 2 reference PG9-like bNAbs - PG9 and PGT145. Crooks2015 (glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: 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)
PG9: Binding of PG9 to properly folded and glycosylated fragments of Env V1/V2 (scaffolds) is described. Scaffolds from 3 different clades of HIV-1 bound to PG9 with high affinity. Mutations I169K, E172V, T161M, N156I, S164G, D167G (includng those outside of the antibody contact region) improved binding. Morales2016 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
PG9: Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), 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)
PG9: This review classified and mapped the binding regions of 32 bNAbs isolated 2010-2016. Wu2016 (review)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: HIV-1 bNAb eptiope networks were predicted using 4 algorithms informed by neutralization assays using 282 Env from multiclade viruses. Patch clusters of possible Ab epitope regions were tested for significant sensitivity by site-directed mutagenesis. Epitope (Ab binding site) networks of critical Env residues for 21 bNAb (b12, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT122, PGT123, PGT125, PGT126, PGT127, PGT128, PGT130, PGT131, PGT135, PGT136, PGT137, PGT141, PGT142, PGT143, PGT144, PGT145 and PGV04) were delineated and found to be located mostly in variable loops of gp120, particularly in V1/V2. Evans2014 (antibody binding site, computational epitope prediction)
PG9: 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. V1/V2 glycan bNAb PG9 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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). V1/V2 glycan bNAb, PG9, neutralized B41 psuedovirus and bound B41 trimer well. Pugach2015
PG9: 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
PG9: 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. PG9, PG16 and PG145, all V1/V2 glycan trimer apex bNAbs, were strongly, reciprocally competitive with one another. V3 glycan bNAbs PGT121, PGT122, PGT123 inhibited binding of PG9 strongly, but in a non-reciprocal manner. Derking2015 (antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
PG9: Two clade C recombinant Env glycoprotein trimers, DU422 and ZM197M, with native-like structural and antigenic properties involving epitopes against 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 are weakly reactive with the V1/V2 glycan bNAb, PG9, and while neutralization of the DU422 pseudotyped virus is robust, that of the ZM197M pseudovirus is moderate. Julien2015 (assay or method development, structure)
PG9: 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 comparison, no significant difference in HIV-1 against bNAb PG9 was seen. vandenKerkhof2016 (elite controllers, neutralization, escape)
PG9: 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-V1/V2 glycan bNAb PG9, 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)
PG9: This review discusses an array of methods to engineer more effective bNAbs for immunotherapy. Antibody PG9 was mentioned as an example of engineering through rational mutations; PG9-N100(F)Y stabilizes the CDR-H3 in the active conformation, thus improving neutralization. Hua2016 (immunotherapy, review)
PG9: Site-specific analysis of N-glycosylation sites of a soluble recombinant trimerBG505 SOSIP.664 is presented. Neutralization profiles for V1V2 Ab, PG9, to multiple epitopes were determined. Removing the N156 or N160 glycans from either of the BG505 test viruses reduced the neutralization activities of PG9. Behrens2016 (antibody binding site, glycosylation)
PG9: A mathematical model was developed to predict the Ab concentration at which antibody escape variants outcompete their ancestors, and this concentration was termed the mutant selection window (MSW). The MSW was determined experimentally for 12 pairings of diverse HIV strains against 7 bnAbs (b12, 2G12, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT128, 2F5). The neutralization of of PG9 was assayed against 5 resistant and 5 sensitive strains. Magnus2016 (neutralization, escape)
PG9: 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. PG9 was compared to the newly-derived mAbs; it had no cross-reactivity with gut bacteria, and tested negative in two tests of autoreactivity. Jeffries2016 (antibody polyreactivity)
PG9: 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). V1V2 quarternary-dependent epitope-binding bNAb, PG9, bound trimer best, but less well to protomer and BG505 gp120's monomer. Yasmeen2014 (antibody binding site, assay or method development)
PG9: 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. PG9 has been used as a control in detection of glycan-dependent HIV-1 neutralizing sera. Sanchez-Merino2016 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
PG9: 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 4E10 (and all other Abs besides PGT128) there was no significant difference in neutralization between pre-seroconversion and post-seroconversion viruses. 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)
PG9: The sequential development of three distinct bnAb responses within a single host, CAP257, over 4.5 years of infection has been described. It showed how escape from the first wave of Abs targeting V2 exposed a second site that was the stimulus for a new wave of glycan dependent bnAbs against the CD4 binding site. These data highlighted how Ab evolution in response to viral escape mutations served to broaden the host immune response to two epitopes. A third wave of neutralization targeting an undefined epitope that did not appear to overlap with the four known sites of vulnerability on the HIV-1 envelope has been reported. These data supported the design of templates for sequential immunization strategies. Wibmer2013 (escape)
PG9: 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 V1/V2 bNAb PG9 was able to neutralize 5/16 tested non-M primary isolates at an IC₅₀< 10µg/ml, 2 of them highly with a value under 1 µg/ml and 3 moderately. Morgand2015 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
PG9: 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. PG9, a V2-glycan bnAb belonged to a group with slopes <1. Webb2015 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. V1/V2 apex-binding gl-PG9 precursor bound to 2/3 trimers, BG505 and ZM197M. Sliepen2015 (binding affinity, antibody lineage)
PG9: Computational modeling was used to examine antibody recognition of glycans, using a V1V2 bNAb (PG9) and a V3 bnAb (PGT128). Both PG9 and PGT128 have a long CDR H3 loop that can penetrate the glycan shield and form interactions with gp120. The modeling results showed that the tip of the CDR H3 loop is flexible in the free antibodies and is able to move within the bound conformation, which likely increases the penetrability of the glycan shield. Qi2016 (glycosylation)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: Deep-sequencing and computational methods were used to identify HCDR3 sequences in HIV-naïve donors that mediated binding and neutralization of HIV by mimicking the bnAb PG9 long HCDR3 region when expressed in the context of the rest of the PG9 antibody sequence. 2 naturally occurring HCDR3 sequences from 2 different donors of 70 studied were predicted to adopt a PG9-like hammerhead conformation and were able to bind and neutralize PG9-susceptible viruses. In addition, computational design was used to mimic the process of maturation by somatic mutation of HCDR3 sequences from the HIV-1–naïve repertoire that were predicted to adopt a PG9-like hammerhead conformation. Two to seven mutations in eight different HCDR3 sequences facilitated neutralization of HIV when grafted on a PG9 Ab background. Willis2016 (antibody lineage)
PG9: 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. The PG9 have affinity for epitopes located in the conserved regions of the V2-V3 loop. Binding of PG9 and PG16 with the virus was largely dependent on the same residues, although PG16 was more sensitive to V3 loop substitutions than PG9. Sequence analysis of PG9- and PG16-resistant viruses revealed complex mutation patterns associated with residues that are critical for PG9/PG16 binding. CNAE14 was shown to be resistant to both PG9 and PG16. It is likely that substitutions S158T, S162T, K305T, and I307T jointly contribute to this resistance phenotype. Chen2016 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
PG9: 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. PG9 neutralized 86% of the 199 viruses tested. Hraber2014 (neutralization)
PG9: The study compared binding and neutralization of 4 V2 apex bnAbs (PG9, CH01, PGT145, and CAP256.VRC26.09). All recognized a core epitope on V1/V2 (the N-linked glycan at N160 and cysteine-linked lysine rich, HXB2:126-196), which includes residue N160 as well as N173. The lysine rich region on strand C of HIV-1 V2 that is key for binding to the nAb contains the sequence (168)KKQK(171). Inferred germline versions of three of the prototype bnAbs were able to neutralize specific Env isolates. Soluble Env derived from one of these isolates was shown to form a well-ordered Env trimer that could serve as an immunogen to initiate a V2-apex bnAb response. Escape from bnAb PG9 was seen in patient Donor_64 by mutations K169T and K171E. 99% amino acid sequence identity exists between PG9 and CAP256.09 in VH-germline gene. Andrabi2015 (antibody binding site, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, escape, antibody lineage)
PG9: 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)
PG9: An atomic-level understanding of V1V2-directed bNAb recognition in a donor was used in the design of V1V2 scaffolds capable of interacting with quaternary-specific V1V2-directed bNAbs. The cocrystal structure of V1V2 with antibody CH03 from a second donor is reported and Env interactions of antibody CAP256-VRC26 from a third donor are modeled. V1V2-directed bNAbs used strand-strand interactions between a protruding Ab loop and a V1V2 strand but differed in their N-glycan recognition. Ontogeny analysis indicated that protruding loops develop early, and glycan interactions mature over time. Combination of the atomic-level information and negative-stain EM of PG9 in complex with a soluble trimeric Env mimic, BG505 SOSIP.664, suggest that the quaternary dependency of PG9 arises from its recognition of glycan N160 from a neighboring protomer24. Gorman2016 (glycosylation, structure, antibody lineage)
PG9: 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. Frequencies of the VLs with the identical VJ recombinations to PG9 were relatively high. 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)
PG9: Galactosyl ceramide (Galcer), a glycosphingolipid, is a receptor for the HIV-1 Env glycoprotein. This study has mimicked this interaction by using an artificial membrane containing synthetic Galcer and recombinant HIV-1 Env proteins to identify antibodies that would block the HIV-1 Env-Galcer interaction. HIV-1 ALVAC/AIDSVAX vaccinee-derived MAbs specific for the gp120 C1 region blocked Galcer binding of a transmitted/founder HIV-1 Env gp140. The antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity-mediating CH38 IgG and its natural IgA isotype were the most potent blocking antibodies. PG9 exhibited moderate Env-Galcer blocking. Dennison2014 (ADCC, antibody binding site, antibody interactions, glycosylation)
PG9: A unified convergent strategy for the rapid production of bi-, tri-, and tetra-antennary complex type N-glycans with and without terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid residues connected via the α-2,6 or α-2,3 linkages is reported which may facilitate the design of carbohydrate-based immunogens. A glycan microarray-based profiling of PG9 was used to understand the binding specificity. No detectable binding for PG9, probably due to (1) very weak binding affinity toward protein/peptide free glycans, (2) the requirement of closely spaced Man5GlcNAc2 (N160) and complex type glycan (N156/163) as PG9 epitopes, and (3) the heterogeneous distribution of NHS groups on glass slides resulting in uneven and low-density glycan arrays. Shivatare2013 (glycosylation, structure)
PG9: 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)
PG9: Incomplete neutralization may decrease the ability of bnAbs to protect against HIV exposure. In order to determine the extent of non-sigmoidal slopes that plateau at <100% neutralization, a panel of 24 bnMAbs targeting different regions on Env was tested in a quantitative pseudovirus neutralization assay on a panel of 278 viral clones. All bNAbs had some viruses that they neutralized with a plateau <100%, but those targeting the V2 apex and MPER did so more often. All bnMAbs assayed had some viruses for which they had incomplete neutralization and non-sigmoidal neutralization curves. bNAbs were grouped into 3 groups based on their neutralization curves: group 1 antibodies neutralized more than 90% of susceptible viruses to >95% (PGT121-123, PGT125-128, PGT136, PGV04); group 2 was less effective, resulting in neutralization of 60-84% of susceptible viruses to >95% (b12, PGT130-131, PGT135, PGT137, PGT141-143, PGT145, 2G12, PG9); group 3 neutralized only 36-60% of susceptible viruses to >95% (PG16, PGT144, 2F5, 4E10). McCoy2015 (neutralization)
PG9: The neutralization abilities of Abs were enhanced by bioconjugation with aplaviroc, a small-molecule inhibitor of virus entry into host cells. Diazonium hexafluorophosphate was used. The conjugated Abs blocked HIV-1 entry through two mechanisms: by binding to the virus itself and by blocking the CCR5 receptor on host cells. Chemical modification did not significantly alter the potency and the pharmacokinetics. The PG9-aplaviroc conjugate was tested against a panel of 117 HIV-1 strains and was found to neutralize 100% of the viruses. PG9-aplaviroc conjugate IC50s were lower than those of PG9 in neutralization studies of 36 of the 117 HIV-1 strains. Gavrilyuk2013 (neutralization)
PG9: This study investigated the immunogenicity of three ΔV1V2 deleted variants of the HIV-1 Env protein. The mutant ΔV1V2.9.VK induced a prominent response directed to epitopes effectively bound and neutralized the ΔV1V2 Env virus. This Env variant efficiently neutralized tier 1 virus SF162.This did not result in broad neutralization of neutralization-resistant virus isolates. BG505 SOSIP.664 trimers bind very efficiently to quaternary structure dependent, broadly neutralizing PG9 against the V1V2 domain. Bontjer2013 (vaccine antigen design, structure)
PG9: 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. Yang2014 (immunoprophylaxis, review, antibody gene transfer)
PG9: 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)
PG9: Pairwise combinations of 6 NAbs (4E10, 2F5, 2G12, b12, PG9, PG16) were tested for neutralization of pseudoviruses and transmitted/founder viruses. Each of the NAbs tested targets a different region of gp120 or gp41. Some pairwise combinations enhanced neutralization synergistically, suggesting that combinations of NAbs may enhance clinical effectiveness. Miglietta2014 (neutralization)
PG9: The infectious virion (iVirions) capture index (IVCI) of different Abs have been determined. bnAbs captured higher proportions of iVirions compared to total virus particles (rVirions) indicating the capacity, breadth and selectively of bnAbs to capture iVirions. IVCI was additive with a mixture of Abs, providing proof of concept for vaccine-induced effect of improved capacity. bnAb PG9 showed significantly high IVCI and captured 100% of CRF01_A/E infectious virions AE.92TH023 and AE.CM244, as well as subtype B MN virus. Liu2014 (binding affinity)
PG9: 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. PG9 exhibited very weak binding with trimeric VC10042.ela and moderate binding with monomeric form of all 4 immunogens. Carbonetti2014 (elite controllers, vaccine-induced immune responses)
PG9: 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 V2p antibodies CH58, CH59, and PG9 for comparison. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: The V2 region where PG9, an anti-V1V2 bNAb binds exists as a beta-strand. Haynes2013 (review)
PG9: PG9 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 V1V2 conformational loop binding Nab bound well at <10 nM to 3/5 chronic Envs, 2/6 Consensus Envs and 2/7 T/F Envs. Liao2013c (antibody interactions, binding affinity)
PG9: Design, synthesis and antigenic evaluation of novel cyclic V1V2 glycopeptides carrying defined N-linked glycans, N160 and N156/N173 has been reported in terms of PG9 and PG16 binding and neutralization. A Man₅GlcNAc₂ glycan at N160 and a sialyted N-glycan are crtical for antigen binding. Amin2013 (glycosylation)
PG9: Binding properties of a synthesized V1V2 glycopeptide immunogen that selectively targets bnAbs' naive B cells is reported. The unmutated common ancestor (UCA) of PG9 showed nanomolar affinity to V1V2 bearing Man₅GlcNAc₂ glycan units. Binding of PG9 was undetectable however in the absence of the V2 backbone peptide suggesting a very weak binding affinity to oligomannose glycan alone. Disulfide-linked dimer formation was also required for PG9 binding to V1V2. Alam2013
PG9: PG9 in combination with NAbs NH45-46m2 and NIH46-42m7 was able to control viremia as well as to reduce routes to escape of YU-2 HIV-1. Diskin2013
PG9: This study showed that the inability of Env to elicit the production of broadly neutralizing Abs is due to the inability of diverse Env to engage the germ line B cell receptor forms of known bNAbs. PG9 showed binding to 61% of the recombinant Envs tested including 7 out of 17 clade B Envs, 11 of 16 clade C Envs, 6 of 7 clade A Envs and the gp120 form of A/E A244 Env. The predicted germ line version of PG9 did not exhibit any detectable binding against these Envs. Ca²⁺ influx through the PG9 BCR was also tested as a function of binding affinity. McGuire2014 (antibody interactions, antibody lineage)
PG9: 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. PG9 neutralized 83% of a cross-clade panel of 157 HIV-1 isolates (Fig. S1) while 1F7 neutralized only 20% of the isolates. Gach2013 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as a reference Ab in neutralization assay comparing A3R5 and TZM-bl. McLinden2013 (assay or method development)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used in CD4 coexpression and competitive binding assay. Veillette2014 (ADCC)
PG9: 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. PG9 showed very high neutralization titer against BG505 pseudovirus in a competitive binding assay as shown in Table 1. Env sequence from PG9 donor showed potential N glycosylation (PNG) sites at position 160 and 156, suggesting that a substitution at one of these sites is not the primary cause of neutralization resistance to PG9 (Table 4). This emphasizes that the BG505 L111Agp120 immunogen can elicit a robust Ab response to PG9. Hoffenberg2013 (antibody interactions, glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: High affinity binding of PG9 with a soluble SOSIP.664 gp140 trimer constructed from the Clade A BG505 sequence was demonstrated. This enabled structural and biophysical characterization of the PG9:Env trimer complex. Electron microscopy (EM) and other assays indicate that only a single PG9-Fab binds to the Env trimer. EM reconstruction also demonstrated that PG9 recognized the trimer asymmetrically at its apex via contact with 2 of the 3 gp120 protomers. In addition to N156 and N160 glycan interactions with a scaffolded V1/V2 domain, PG9 also makes secondary interactions with an N160 glycan from an adjacent gp120 protomer in the Ab-trimer complex. A glycan mutation to PG9 caused a >10fold reduction of Fab affinity for the BG505 SOSIP.664 gp 140 trimer reflecting adverse effects on trimer binding and virus neutralization. PG9 recognized glycosylated Env proteins with much higher affinity compared to non-glycosylated ones. Julien2013 (antibody interactions, glycosylation, structure)
PG9: To focus immune responses to sites of NAb vulnerability while avoiding immune-evasion by the rest of Env, MPER, V1/V2, and V3 glycan sites were transplanted onto algorithm-identified acceptor scaffolds (proteins with a backbone geometry that recapitulates the antigenicity of the transplanted site). The V1/V2-transplant was not successful in eliciting a robust PG9 response. Zhou2014 (vaccine antigen design)
PG9: 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. PG9 is a V1/V2-directed Ab, with breadth 70%, IC₅₀ 0.31 μg per ml, and its unique feature is its extended CDR H3, which is often tyrosine-sulfated. Similar MAbs include PG16 and CH01-04. Kwong2013 (review)
PG9: 8 bNAbs (PGT151 family) were isolated from an elite neutralizer. The new bNAbs bind a previously unknown glycan-dependent epitope on the prefusion conformation of gp41. These MAbs are specific for the cleaved Env trimer and do not recognize uncleaved Env trimer. PGT151 family Abs showed 1 log higher neutralization potency than PG9. Falkowska2014
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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
PG9: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 IgG2b was able to potently neutralize the HIV-1 isolates that were resistant to PG9. Acharya2013 (neutralization)
PG9: 12 somatically related nAbs were isolated from donor CAP256. All nAbs of CAP256-VRC26 lineage had long CDRH3 regions necessary to penetrate the glycan shield and engage the V1V2 epitope. Both CAP256-VRC26 Abs and PG9 class nAbs showed similarity in recognizing the trimeric V1V2 cap. Unlike PG9, the CAP256-VRC26 Abs were only partially and variably sensitive to loss of glycans at N160 and N156. Doria-Rose2014 (glycosylation)
PG9: This is a review of a satellite symposium at the AIDS Vaccine 2012 conference, focusing on antibody gene transfer. Phil Johnson presented results comparing an immunoadhesin form of the antibody PG9 with the native IgG architecture in which he found that the native IgG architecture had a neutralization potency tenfold greater than that of the immunoadhesin, suggesting that natural antibody architectures are more preferable for further clinical development. Balazs2013 (immunoprophylaxis)
PG9: 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 PG9, against 181 diverse HIV-1 strains with available Ab-Ag complex structures. Chuang2013 (computational epitope prediction)
PG9: This study reports the glycan binding specificities and atomic level details of PG16 epitope and somatic mechanisms of clonal antibody diversification. Three PG16 specific residues Arg94_LC,Ser95_LC and His95_LC (RSH) are found to be critical for sialic acid binding on complex glycan. RSH residues were introduced into PG9 to produce a chimeric antibody with enhanced neutralization. The co-crystal structure of PG9 bound to V1-V2 is discussed and compared to PG16 and PG9-PG16-RSH chimeric Ab based on its ability to recognize a combination of N-linked glycans and envelop polypeptide. Pancera2013 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, structure, chimeric antibody)
PG9: Four V2 MAbs CH58, CH59, HG107 and HG120 were isolated from RV144 Thai HIV-1 vaccinees. These MAbs recognized residue 169, neutralized laboratory HIV-1 (tier 1 strains) and mediated ADCC. PG9 was used in the study as a V1-V2 bnAb control to study the binding of the new mAb isolates. While PG9, PG16 and CH01 binding was abrogated by N160K and N156Q mutations and also by native glycosylation, the binding of CH58 and CH59 was not affected. Crystal structures revealed that CH58, CH59, and PG9 recognize overlapping V2 epitopes in dramatically different conformations, ranging from helical to beta strands. Liao2013b (ADCC, structure)
PG9: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. PG9 is discussed as the V2 region-targeting, anti-gp120 BNAb exhibiting ADCC activity and having a discontinuous epitope. RV144 vaccine induced mAbs CH58 and CH59 also bind to the same region of PG9, but do not display preferential binding to gp120 and don't bind to glycans in position 156 and 160. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
PG9: "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. Georgiev2013 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. 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)
PG9: 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. crystal structure of PG9 was referred in the context of gp120 V1/V2 binding domains. Mao2012 (structure)
PG9: Emergence and evolution of the earliest cross-reactive neutralizing antibody responses were studied in B clade-infected individual, Two distinct epitopes on Env were targeted. First specificity appeared at 3 years post infection and targeted the CD4-binding site. Second specificity appeared a year later. It was due to PG9-like antibodies, which were able to neutralize those viruses not susceptible to the anti-CD4-BS antibodies in AC053. Mikell2012 (neutralization, rate of progression, polyclonal antibodies)
PG9: 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). PG9 neutralized 49% of these viruses. Goo2012 (neutralization, rate of progression)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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 V1V2 site, penetrating CDR H3 binds two glycans and strand, PG9 class, PG9 family. Kwong2012 (review, structure, broad neutralizer)
PG9: 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)
PG9: This review discusses how analysis of infection and vaccine candidate-induced antibodies and their genes may guide vaccine design. This MAb is listed as V1/V2 conformational epitope bnAb, isolated after 2009 by neutralization screening of cultured, unselected IgG+ memory B cells. Bonsignori2012b (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, review)
PG9: 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. Both trimers, but not monomers, bound to PG9 and PG16. Kovacs2012 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
PG9: 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 PG9. Pejchal2011 (glycosylation, structure, broad neutralizer)
PG9: PG9 and PG9-like V1V2-directed MAbs, that require an N-linked glycan at Env 160, were analyzed for gain-of-function mutations. 21 PG9-resistant HIV-1 isolates were analyzed by mutagenesis and neutralization assays. E to K mutations at positions 168, 169, 171 led to the most dramatic improvements on sensitivity to these MAbs (PG9, PG16, CH01, CH04, PGT141, PGT145). Doria-RoseNA2012 (escape)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as BnAb to screen Env clones. wtR clone was weakly sensitive to PG9. ORourke2012 (neutralization)
PG9: Glycan Asn332-targeting broadly cross-neutralizing (BCN) antibodies were studied in 2 C-clade infected women. The ASn332 glycan was absent on infecting virus, but the BCN epitope with Asn332 evolved within 6 months though immune escape from earlier antibodies. Plasma from the subject CAP177 neutralized 88% of a large multi-subtype panel of 225 heterologous viruses, whereas CAP 314 neutralized 46% of 41 heterologous viruses but failed to neutralize viruses that lack glycan at 332. PG9 was referred to have second BCN Ab epitopes at AA 156 and 160 in addition to 332. Moore2012 (neutralization, escape)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as a control to prove whether the purified and crystallized gp120 is in the CD4 bound conformational state or not. Kwon2012 (structure)
PG9: Vaccination efficacy of RV144 is described. The authors proposed that RV144 induced antibodies against Env V1/V2. The relationship between vaccine status and V1/V2 sequence have been characterized. The estimated cumulative HIV-1 incidence curve in the vaccine and placebo groups showed immunogenicity for K169 and 1181X genotypes and no immunogenicity for the opposite residues. PG9 was discussed as the quaternary-structure-preferring (QSP) antibody and mutations at positions 169 and 181 were associated with significant alteration in neutralization. Rolland2012 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
PG9: The use of computationally derived B cell clonal lineages as templates for HIV-1 immunogen design is discussed. PG9 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)
PG9: Polyclonal B cell responses to conserved neutralization epitopes are reported. Cross-reactive plasma samples were identified and evaluated from 308 subjects tested. PG9 was used as a control mAb in the comprehensive set of assays performed. C1-0763 targeted a region similar to PG9 and PG16 recognizing a V1/V2 loop dependent epitope. Tomaras2011 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as a control. Detail information on the binding and neutralization assays are described in the figures S2-S11. Mouquet2012a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
PG9: 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. PG9 was referred to in discussing the efficiency of YU-2 gp140 trimer as a bait for Ab capture. Mouquet2011 (neutralization)
PG9: 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 PG9 has been discussed in terms of humoral immune response during HIV1 infection. The vulnerability sites on the viral spike shows quaternary structural constraints, and maps to the second and third variable regions of gp120 (variable loops V2 and V3). PG9 recognizes these regions and neutralizes 70%–80% of current circulating isolates. Kwong2011 (antibody binding site, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, review)
PG9: 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. PG9 was used as a control to compare the neutralizing activity of patients' sera. Lavine2012 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. PG9 is discussed in the context of developing broadly cross-neutralizing antibodies. Overbaugh2012 (escape, review)
PG9: Neutralization activity was compared against MAb 10E8 and other broad and potent neutralizers in a 181-isolate Env-pseudovirus panel. PG9 neutralized 78% of viruses at IC50<50 μg/ml and 65% of viruses at IC50<1 μg/ml, compared with 98% and 72% of MAb 10E8, respectively. Huang2012a (neutralization)
PG9: Antigenic properties of undigested VLPs and endo H-digested WT trimer VLPs were compared. Binding to E168K+ N189A WT VLPs was dramatic compared to the parent WT VLPs, uncleaved VLPs. There was no significant correlation between E168K+N189A WT VLP binding and PG9 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)
PG9: 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 PG9 and PG16 exhibited more-neutral pIs (around 7.8), matching the more-neutral end of the plasma-derived fraction series, showing broadly neutralizing, but not most potent activity. Sajadi2012 (polyclonal antibodies)
PG9: 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. PG9 neutralized 81% (25/31) and PG16 neutralized 71% (22/31) of the viruses tested. Viruses insensitive to PG9 were all equally insensitive to PG16 but not the other way around, suggesting that PG9 can tolerate more viral glycoprotein amino acid substitutions than PG16. Shang2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
PG9: The sensitivity to PG9 and PG16 of pseudotyped viruses was analysed carrying envelope glycoproteins from the viral quasispecies of three HIV-1 clade CRF01_AE-infected patients. It was confirmed that an acidic residue or a basic residue at position 168 in the V2 loop is a key element determining the sensitivity to PG9 and PG16. In addition, evidence is provided of the involvement of a conserved residue at position 215 of the C2 region in the PG9/PG16 epitopes. Sensitivity to PG9 in 10 Env-pseudotyped viruses was analyzed. Five clones from case 0377 presented a broad and continuous range of sensitivity to PG9. A broader range of sensitivity was observed in case 0978, clone 0978-M3 being resistant to PG9 whereas two other clones, 0978-M1 and 0978-M2, were highly sensitive. Similarly, two clones from case 0858 displayed peculiar patterns of neutralization: clone 0858-M1 was sensitive to neutralization by PG9 only whereas clone 0858-M2 was resistant to PG9. These results showed the broad heterogeneity in sensitivity to PG9 of closely genetically related envelope glycoproteins derived from single viral quasispecies. Clone 0978-M3 from case 0978 was resistant to PG9, whereas clones 0978-M1/M2 were highly sensitive to PG9. 0978-M3 E168K resulted in a high sensitivity to PG9. In contrast, 0978-M2 K168E conferred resistance to PG9. 0858-M2 M215I conferred sensitivity to PG9, whereas the mutant 0858-M2 M475I remained highly resistant to PG9. I215M diminished the sensitivity of all clones to PG9, except that of clone 5008CL2 for PG9. Thenin2012a (neutralization)
PG9: 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)
PG9: The study showed that alteration between a rare lysine K and a common N-linked glycan at position 160 of HIV-1 gp120 is primarily responsible for toggling between 2909 and PG16/PG9 neutralization sensitivity. These neutralization profiles were mutually exclusive (160K for MAb 2909, 160N for PG16/PG9); there was no case of a virus that was sensitive to both 2909 and PG16/PG9 neutralization. Several more positions were studied: both the PG and 2909 MAbs do not require an asparagine at position 156 for neutralization, both the PG and 2909 antibodies tolerate amino acid variation at position 165, and neither the PG nor the 2909 MAb could tolerate a glutamic acid at position 168. Wu2011a (antibody binding site, escape)
PG9:The reason for natural resistance of a patient Env obtained from plasma of a slow progressing Indian patient to PG9/PG16 MAbs in sharp contrast to its contemporaneous autologous Envs was investigated. Based on the experiments conducted for neutralization and glycosylation, it is suggested that the overall neutralization sensitivity of an Env is the outcome of characteristic molecular features of the V2 loop and neutralization by PG9/16 is balanced by the glycans, net positive charge in β sheet C region of the V2 loop against PG9/16 and possibly the length of the V2 loop. Ringe2012 (glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: 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, PG9 neutralized 22 strains in IgG form, 18 stains in Fab form, 20 strains in IA form and 10 strains in scFv form. It was found that the PG9, PG16, and VRC01 IAs were severalfold less potent than their IgG forms. West2012 (neutralization)
PG9: The biological properties of 17 Env-pseudotyped viruses derived from variants of mother–infant pairs infected by HIV-1 strains of the CRF01_AE clade were compared, in order to explore their association with the restrictive transmission of the virus. Maternal clones issued from MIPs (mother-infant pairs) 0377, 0978 and 1021 displayed a broad and continuous range of sensitivity to both PG9 and PG16 whereas all infant clones were highly sensitive to both mAbs PG9 and PG16. When the four MIPs were considered in aggregate, infant clones were significantly more sensitive to PG9 and PG16 compared to maternal clones. Thenin2012 (neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission)
PG9: gp120 was cyclically permuted and new N- and C-termini were created within the V1, V3, and V4 loop regions to reduce the length of the linker joining gp120 and M9. Addition of trimerization domains at the V1 loop of cyclic permutants of gp120 resulted in the formation of predominantly trimeric species, which bound CD4 and neutralizing antibodies b12, PG9, and PG16 with higher affinity. Saha2012 (binding affinity)
PG9: 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. There was no difference in the neutralization sensitivity of PBMC versus 293T-derived viruses using the MAb PG9. Provine2012 (neutralization)
PG9: Phenotypic activities of a single transmitted/founder (T/F) virus from 24 acute individuals were compared to that of 17 viruses from chronics. There was a trend towards enhanced sensitivity to neutralization by PG9 of T/F Envs compared to chronic Envs. Wilen2011 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. PG9 neutralized 52% of contemporary viruses at IC50 < 1 μ g/ml. The median IC50s of PG9 for viruses from historical and contemporary seroconverters were not significantly different. There was no clear correlation between the sensitivity to PG9 and presence or absence of certain amino acids, but more mutations were observed in viruses from contemporary seroconverters than from historical ones, and the absence of a potential N-linked glycosylation site at position 160 of V2 coincided with resistance to PG9. Euler2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
PG9: Using U87 target cells, PGV04 neutralized 88% of 162 viruses, with IC50<50 μm/mg, with U87 target cells compared to 75% neutralized by PG9. The potency of neutralization was comparable. On the 97-virus panel, using TZM-bl target cells, the breadth of neutralization was similar, but PGV04 had increased potency. 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, but varied in their effects on VRC01, CD4-IgG and b12. Falkowska2012 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
PG9: 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 PG9 neutralized 77% 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)
PG9: Atomic-level structure of V1/V2 in complex with PG9 is reported. Instead of being confounded by the N-linked glycan that shields most of gp120 from immune recognition, PG9 uses N-linked glycan for binding through a mechanism shared by a number of antibodies capable of effective HIV neutralization. The structure shows that the antibody recognizes glycopeptide conjugates and avoids diversity in V1/V2 by making sequence-independent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds. The structure of PG9 is consistent with published mutational data: some residues such as Phe 176 are critical because they form part of the hydrophobic core on the concave face of the V1/V2 sheet. Others form direct contacts: for example, the tyrosine sulphate at residue 100H of PG9 interacts with residue 168 when it is an Arg (strain ZM109) or Lys (strain CAP45), but would be repelled by a Glu (as in strain JR-FL); JR-FL is resistant to neutralization by PG9, but becomes sensitive if Glu 168 is changed to Lys10. V1/V2–PG9 interaction observed in the scaffolded V1/V2–PG9 crystal structures encompasses much of the PG9/PG16 epitope, and the structural integrity of this epitope is sensitive to appropriate assembly of the viral spike. With both CAP45 and ZM109 strains of gp120, the V1/V2 site recognized by PG9 consists primarily of two glycans and a strand. Minor interaction with strand B and with the B–C connecting loop complete the epitope, with the entire PG9-recognized surface of V1/V2 contained within the B–C hairpin. McLellan2011 (antibody binding site, structure)
PG9: 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. Similar degrees of cell surface expression of CDR H3(PG9)/hinge/His tag/DAFs (GPI-CDR H3(PG9)) was observed compared with those of the other GPI-CDR H3 constructs (PG16, AVF, and E51). GPI-CDR H3(PG9) exhibited the same degree of inhibition against 5 representative HIV-1 pseudotypes as that of GPI-CDR H3(PG16 and E51). Liu2011 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, structure)
PG9: 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. 4–2.J45 Env expressing M424 showed relative resistance to PG9 over 4–2.J45 expressing I424, wherein comparable sensitivities were found of other Envs to PG9 except YU2, which showed approximately 8 fold increase in neutralization sensitivity to PG9. The indistinctness in PG9/PG16 sensitivities of 4–2.J45 and YU2 Envs expressing M424 was possibly due to some compensatory and conformational changes elsewhere within Env. Ringe2011 (neutralization)
PG9: Several soluble gp140 Env proteins recognized by PG9 and PG16 were identified, and the effect of Env trimerization, the requirement for specific amino acids at position 160 within the V2 loop, and the importance of proper gp120-gp41 cleavage for MAb binding to soluble gp140s were investigated along with whether and how the kinetics of PG9 and PG16 binding to soluble gp140 correlates with the neutralizing potencies of these MAbs. It is reported that the presence of the extracellular part of gp41 on certain gp140 constructs improves the recognition of the PG9 epitope on the gp120 subunit and the trimerization of soluble gp140 may lead to the partial occlusion of the PG9 epitope. PG9 most efficiently recognized modified SF162 Env, SF162K160N of the small number of soluble gp140 Envs tested. The absence of SF162 neutralization by PG9 is the presence of a lysine at position 160 instead of an asparagine. PG16 recognized a smaller number of gp140s tested here than PG9. It is suggested that any structural differences between the virion-associated Env form and the soluble gp140 form have a greater impact on the PG16 epitope than on the PG9 epitope. Davenport2011 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
PG9: 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. PG9 had low neutralization potency for 2 (QD435.100 M.ENV.A4 and THRO4156.18) out of 8 pseudoviruses in the panel but high for the rest of them. For maternal variants, PG9 had low neutralization potency for 3 (MF535.B1, MJ613.A2 and MK184.E4) out of 12 variants and high for the rest of them. Lynch2011 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, mother-to-infant transmission)
PG9: CAP256, an HIV-1 subtype C-infected (and subsequently superinfected) participant enrolled in the CAPRISA Acute Infection cohort was studied. A subset of mutants were tested for neutralization by PG9/PG16 along with neutralization of ConC by CAP256 plasma nAb. The epitope recognized by CAP256 is distinct from but overlaps that of PG9/PG16.Like CAP256 plasma, both PG9 and PG16 were heavily dependent on K169 and somewhat dependent on K171. A V2 mutation (N160A) had a profound affect on PG9 and PG16 but a more moderate affect on CAP256. The adjacent D167N residue also impacted CAP256 neutralization but not PG9/PG16, and a K168A mutation reduced CAP256 neutralization but in fact enhanced the neutralization of ConC by PG9/16. Both PG9/16 and CAP256, in the context of the ConC backbone, were slightly affected by mutations in the V3 loop (I305, I309, and F317) with mild effect on neutralization sensitivity. The I307A mutation affected both PG9/PG16 slightly but had no discernible effect on CAP256 neutralization. Some similarities between CAP256 and PG9/16 neutralization along with significant differences suggest that the epitopes recognized by these Abs overlapped but were not identical. Moore2011 (neutralization)
PG9: 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. There was some detectable PG9 neutralization of the variant bearing the T569A mutation alone but PG9 neutralization was not achieved with a change at position 675 only. Lovelace2011 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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 this MAb shows a significant breadth of neutralization across all clades and extraordinary potency. Gonzalez2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, escape, review)
PG9: This review discusses recent rational structure-based approaches in HIV vaccine design that helped in understanding the link between Env antigenicity and immunogenicity. PG9 was isolated from a clade A infected donor using a high-throughput functional screening approach. This MAb was mentioned in the context of immunogens based on the epitopes recognized by bNAbs.

PG9: This review discusses the types of B-cell responses desired by HIV-1 vaccines and various methods used for eliciting HIV-1 inhibitory antibodies that include induction and characterization of vaccine-induces B-cell responses. PG9 was mentioned among new MAbs generated by isolating single Env-specific B cells by either single cell sorting by flow cytometry or from memory B-cell cultures coupled with high-throughput neutralization screening assays of B-cell supernatants. PG9 recognizes conserved regions of the variable loops in gp120 and is potent and broadly reactive against approximately 73-79% of HIV-1 strains. Tomaras2010 (review)
PG9: This review discusses strategies for design of neutralizing antibody-based vaccines against HIV-1 and recent major advances in the field regarding isolation of potent broadly neutralizing Abs. Sattentau2010 (review)
PG9: This review focuses on recent vaccine design efforts and investigation of broadly neutralizing Abs and their epitopes to aid in the improvement of immunogen design. NAb epitopes, NAbs response to HIV-1, isolation of novel mAbs, and vaccine-elicited NAb responses in human clinical trials are discussed in this review. Mascola2010 (review)
PG9: Unlike the MPER MAbs tested, PG9 did not show any Env-independent virus capture in the conventional or in the modified version of the virus capture assay. Leaman2010
PG9: Some of the key challenges for the development of an Ab-based HIV vaccine are discussed, such as challenges in identification of epitopes recognized by broadly neutralizing epitopes, the impact of biological mechanisms in addition to Ab neutralization, and the poor persistence of anti-Env Ab responses in the absence of continuous antigenic stimulation. Lewis2010 (review)
PG9: The role of HIV-1 envelope spike density on the virion and the effect it has on MAb avidity, and neutralization potencies of MAbs presented as different isotypes, are reviewed. Engineering approaches and design of immunogens able to elicit intra-spike cross-linking Abs are discussed. Klein2010 (review)
PG9: Novel techniques for generation of broadly neutralizing Abs and how these Ab can aid in development of an effective vaccine are discussed. Joyce2010 (review)
PG9: 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)
PG9: 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)
PG9: PG9 epitope structure is reviewed. This review also summarizes data on the evolution of HIV neutralizing Abs, principles of Env immunogen design to elicit broadly neutralizing Abs, and future critical areas of research for development of an Ab-based HIV vaccine. Hoxie2010 (vaccine antigen design, review)
PG9: Novel methods for generation of broadly neutralizing Abs, such as PG9 and PG16 are reviewed. This review also summarizes PG9 and PG16 MAbs, and their similarity to 2909 MAb. Kwong2009 (review)
PG9: Removal of N-linked glycosylation sites was shown to generally lead to a reduction in neutralization sensitivity to PG9, however, the position of the N-linked glycosylation site removed and the magnitude of the effect was isolate dependent. Loss of glycosylation sites in the V1, V2 and V3 loops had greatest effect on reduced neutralization sensitivity. Removal of the N160 glycan was the only substitution that universally eliminated sensitivity to neutralization by PG9. Binding of PG9 to Env transfected cells and to gp120 was not competed by monosaccharides indicating that PG9 sensitivity to glycosylation was due to the effect of glycans on gp120 conformation and PG9 epitope accessibility. Doores2010 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
PG9: The CDR H3 region was shown critical for neutralization activity of the Ab. Affinity maturation of PG9 correlated with Ab neutralization breadth, as light chain V-gene reversion produced chimeric Abs with less neutralization. N-linked glycosylation of PG9 was not required for neutralization. Fab and IgG formats of PG9 had comparable neutralization potencies. The likely site of PG9 reaction with Env was determined to consist of CDR L1 and L2 and the CDR H3 elements. Pancera2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: Broadly neutralizing sera from elite neutralizers exhibited significant sensitivities to mutations I165A, N332A, and N160K. PG9 neutralization activity was tested for pseudoviruses with the mutations relative to the WT. PG9 was shown to require N160K glycosylation for potent neutralizing activity. Pseudoviruses produced in cells treated with kifunensine were found resistant to PG9 neutralization. Donor sera that exhibited sensitivity to N160K showed diminished neutralizing activity against kifunensine-treated pseudoviruses, indicating that PG16 and PG9 MAbs mediate most of the sera neutralizing activity. PG16 and PG9 - like Ab were found in 21% of the donors. Walker2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
PG9: Crystal structure of PG9 light chain was determined and a homology model of Fab PG9 was constructed for comparison to PG16 MAb. PG9 was shown to have a long CDR H3 that forms a unique stable subdomain. A 7-residue specificity loop within CDR H3 was shown to confer fine specificity of PG16 and PG9 MAbs, and to contain important contacts to gp120 as replacement of the 7 residues abolished PG9 neutralization. CDR H3 tyrosine for PG9 was doubly sulfated, and tyrosine sulfation was shown to play a role in both binding and neutralization. Glycosylation of PG9 light chain did not have a significant effect on neutralization. Pejchal2010 (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
PG9: This MAb was derived from clade A infected patient. PG9 failed to bind to recombinant gp120 or gp41 but exhibited high neutralization breadth and potency, neutralizing 127 out of 162 cross-clade viruses with a potency exceeding that of b12, 2G12, and 2F5. PG9 also potently neutralized IAVI-C18 virus, that is neutralization resistant to all four bNAbs. PG9 competed for gp120 binding with Abs against V2, V3 and CD4i. N-glycosylation sites N156 and N160 in the V2 region were critical in forming PG9 epitope. PG9 preferred binding to trimeric Env due to subunit presentation in this form. This Ab had a long CDRH3 loop. Walker2009a (antibody generation, glycosylation, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)

1357: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
1357: 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. The V2i MAbs tested were: 697, 830A, 1357, 1361, 1393, 2158, and 2297. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
1357: This study characterized the Elisa cross-reactivity, neutralization, and Ig variable genes of a panel of 7 anti-V2 mAbs: 1361, 1393A, 1357, 697, 830A, 2158, and 2297. Despite sequence variability, the 7 mAbs recognize conserved immunologic features of V2, with 6 of them targeting similar epitopes. The crystal structure of the mAb 697 binding site was determined. Gorny2012 (neutralization)
1357: A pseudotyping assay showed that an X4 V3 loop peptide could enhance infectivity of X4 virus, R5 and R5X4 V3 loops peptides could enhance infectivity of an R5 virus, and R5X4 peptides could enhance infectivity of an R5X4 virus. Neither R5 nor R5X4 peptides influenced binding of CD4BS MAbs F105 and Ig1Gb12, but did increase binding of CD4i MAb 17b. Of three V2 MAbs, only 830A, not 2158 or 1357 was enhanced by V3 peptide binding. Ling2002 (antibody binding site, co-receptor)
1357: This broad review of anti-Envelope MAbs notes that V2 MAbs are generally weakly neutralizing at best, and somewhat strain specific. Anti-V2 MAbs 1357, 1361, 1393 are non-neutralizing. Gorny2003 (review)
1357: Blocks binding of MAb 697-D to rgp120, and doesn't react with a protein from which V1V2 has been deleted -- binding of panel of 21 MAbs to soluble oligomeric gp140 versus gp41 or gp120 monomers was compared -- no MAb was oligomer specific, though anti-V3 and CD4BS MAbs reacted better with the oligomer and V2 and C5 tended to favor the monomer -- V2 MAbs 697-D, 1357 and 1361 favored the monomer by approximately 2 fold. Gorny2000b
1357: Using a whole virion-ELISA method, 18 human MAbs were tested for their ability to bind to a panel of 9 viruses from clades A, B, D, F, G, and H -- V2 Abs 697-D, 1361, and 1357 tended to bind very weakly with a similar pattern of specificity to virions, but bound well to soluble gp120: weak binding only to subtype D MAL. Nyambi1998
1357: 26 HIV-1 group M isolates (clades A to H) were tested for binding to 47 MAbs, including 5 anti-V2 MAbs, which showed weak and sporadic binding, with the most frequent binding to C and D clades. Nyambi2000

Mapping of Epitopes Exposed on Intact Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Virions: A New Strategy for Studying the Immunologic Relatedness of HIV-1. J. Virol., 72:9384-9391, 1998. 18 human MAbs binding to gp120 and gp41 were tested using a novel assay to test binding to intact HIV-1 virions. The new method involves using MAbs to the host proteins incorporated into virions to bind them to ELIZA plates. Antigenic conservation in epitopes of HIV-1 in clades A, B, D, F, G, and H was studied. MAbs were selected that were directed against V2, V3, CD4bd, C5 or gp41 regions. Antibodies against V2, the CD4BS, and sp41 showed weak and sporadic reactivities, while binding strongly to gp120, suggesting these epitopes are hidden when gp120 is in its native, quaternary structure.

2219: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
2219: 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. deTaeye2018 (broad neutralizer)
2219: 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. The V3 MAbs tested were: 447, 2219, and 2557. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2219: A computational method, MDE, predicts the presence of neutralization epitopes in the V3 loop solely from the viral sequence and the crystal structure of the antibody. For V3-specific mAbs 2219 and 447-52D, the method accurately predicted the presence of neutralization epitopes in diverse strains of HIV-1. Identification of Ab-targeted neutralization epitopes in silico enables easy prediction of the reactivity of specific mAbs across diverse variants, and facilitates rational design of immunogens. Shmelkov2014 (computational epitope prediction)
2219: 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. 2219 was used in comparing the Ab framework amino acid replacement vs. interactive surface area on Ab. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
2219: Signature motifs specific for neutralization epitopes present in the V3 loop crown were used to determine the presence or absence of MAb-specific epitopes in vaccine immunogens and in break-through viruses infecting vaccine and placebo recipients in the VAX003 and VAX004 Phase III clinical trials. Of the six epitopes present in the immunogens and targeted by known NAbs, only the one targeted by anti-V3 NAb 2219 exhibited a significant reduction in occurrence in vaccinated subjects from VAX003 Thailand cohort compared to the placebo group. It is suggested that a specific 2219-like human neutralizing antibody immune response to AIDSVAX immunization occurred in the VAX003 cohort, and that this response protected subjects from a narrow subset of HIV-1 viruses circulating in Thailand in the 1990s. The signature motif used for MAb 2219 is R9, K10, [I,V]12, [Y,F]21 in V3-loop position numbers. Shmelkov2011 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
2219: This study analyzed the neutralization sensitivity of sequential HIV-1 primary isolates during their natural evolution in 5 subtype B and CRF02_AG HIV-1 infected drug naive individuals to 13 anti-HIV-1 MAbs (including this MAb) directed at epitopes in the V2, V3, CD4bd and carbohydrates. Patient viruses evolved to become more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed at epitopes at V2, V3 and CDbd, indicating that cross sectional studies are inadequate to define the neutralization spectrum of MAb neutralization with primary HIV-1 isolates. Haldar2011 (neutralization)
2219: VH5-51 gene segment was used by 18 of 51 (35%) anti-V3 MAbs. This study analyzed the crystal structure of 5 Fabs encoded by VH5-51/VL lambda genes. Each Fab interacted with key residues at the same 7 positions in the crown of the V3 loop, although the amino acids could vary, suggesting that while V3 is variable in sequence and structurally flexible, a common structure is retained across strains. MAb 2219 interacted with amino acids R304, K305, I307, H308, I309, F317, Y318 of MN V3 peptide. Most of MAb 2219 contact residues were also present at the corresponding positions of the germline VH5-51 gene. All 18 VH5-51 using MAbs were studied with a constrained peptide mimotope which preserved the 3D of the VH5-51 derived MAbs 2219,2557, 1006, but did not react with other anti-V3 MAbs that recognize different V3 epitopes. 14/18 (2219 included) were reactive with the mimotope, compared to only 1/30 non-VH5-51 MAbs. Gorny2011 (mimotopes, antibody sequence, structure)
2219: Masking signatures were developed and analyzed for 4 anti-HIV V3 loop MAbs, 2219, 3074, 2557, 447-52D. The epitopes were classified as "masked" if their signature motifs were present in a virus, but there was no detectible neutralization by the MAb of the same virus in vitro. The signature motif for MAb 2219 used in the study was R9+K10+[l,V]12+[Y,F]21. Of the 4 MAbs, 2219 neutralized the largest number of pseudoviruses containing its epitope. The 2219 neutralization epitope is unmasked in 25/68 (36.8%) of the viruses containing the 2219 epitope. Agarwal2011 (neutralization)
2219: Structure of 2219 bound to a peptide containing the sequence of the V3 loop was used to derive sensitive and specific signature motifs for its neutralization epitope. 2219 epitope (⁹RKx[I,V]xxxxxxxx[Y,F]²¹) was found conserved in 56% of circulating HIV-1 strains from all major subtypes. 2219 neutralized 18% of subtype A pseudovirions, 49% of subtype B, 29% of subtype C, 10% of subtype D and 0% of CRF02_AG. Swetnam2010 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons, structure)
2219: 2219 neutralizing activity was assessed against pseudoviruses expressing Envs of diverse HIV-1 subtypes from subjects with acute and chronic infection. IC50 neutralization activity was also statistically assessed based on the area under the neutralization curves (AUC). 2219 was able to neutralize 15/57 viruses in U87-based assay and 10/41 viruses in TZM-based assay, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 viruses, viruses of subtypes B, C, D, and viruses from both chronic and acute infections. AUC analysis revealed that 24/57 viruses in the U87-based assay, and 11/41 viruses in the TZM-based assay, were significantly neutralized by this Ab. Thus, the AUC method has the ability to detect low levels of neutralizing activity that otherwise may be missed. Hioe2010 (assay or method development, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
2219: Two V3-scaffold immunogen constructs were designed and expressed using 3D structures of cholera toxin B (CTB), V3 in the gp120 context, and V3 bound to 447-52D MAb. The construct (V3-CTB) presenting the complete V3 was recognized by 2219 MAb and by the large majority of other MAbs (18/24), indicating correctly folded and exposed MAb epitopes. V3-CTB induced V3-binding Abs and Abs displaying cross-clade neutralizing activity in immunized rabbits. Short V3-CTB construct, presenting a V3 fragment in conformation observed in complex with 447-52D, was recognized by 2219, but only at the highest MAb concentrations. Totrov2010 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
2219: Crystal structures of 2219 Fab in complex with different V3 peptides revealed that 2219 interactions with V3 are highly similar to those of MAbs 2557 and 1006-15D. Like 2557, 2219 interactions with V3 can be divided into three regions: the arch, the circlet, and the band, with the arch and the band specific residues identical between these two MAbs. The results indicate that 2219, 2557 and 1006-15D recognize V3 using similar modes of binding. It is shown that broadly-reactive Abs can bind to conserved elements in four regions of the V3: the arch, the circlet, the band, and the V3 peptide main chain backbone. These conserved elements are either unaffected by or are subjected to minimal sequence variation. A mimotope that preserved the key structural elements in the circlet and band regions, but with GPG of the arch replaced by a disulfide bond, interacted with broadly reactive MAbs 2557, 1006 and 2219. It did not react with 447-52D nor 268-D, which are dependent on the Arg in the arch. Thus, mimotopes can be constructed that may focus the immune response on structurally conserved elements. Jiang2010 (antibody binding site, mimotopes, structure)
2219: Ab specificities of a panel of HIV sera were systematically analyzed by selective adsorption with native gp120 and specific mutant variants. To test sera for presence of V3 neutralizing activity, V3 peptides were used. These peptides inhibited neutralization mediated by 2219. Sera with limited neutralizing activity were mapped to V3. 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)
2219: 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 2219 were smaller than those for VRC01. Zhou2010 (neutralization, structure)
2219: The epitope sequence motif of 2219 was precisely defined based on the 3D structure of the MAb complexed with V3MN peptide. The specific epitope motif suggested by the complex structure was shown to be K307, I309 and Y318. A set of V3 chimeric pseudoviruses, carrying or not carrying the determined 2219 sequence motif, were tested for their sensitivity to neutralization by 2219. Viruses carrying the 2219 epitope sequence motif were neutralized very well by 2219 while viruses lacking this motif were not neutralized at all. The neutralization-relevant epitope sequence motif of 2219 was calculated to be present in approximately 30% of worldwide HIV isolates, and equally distributed among subtypes. Cardozo2009 (neutralization, optimal epitope)
2219: The Ig usage for variable heavy chain of this Ab was as follows: IGHV:5-51*03, IGHD:4-17, D-RF:2, IGHJ:3. There was a preferential usage of the VH5-51 gene segment for V3 Abs. The usage of the VH4 family for the V3 Abs was restricted to only one gene segment, VH4-59, and the VH3 gene family was used at a significantly lower level by these Abs. The V3 Abs preferentially used the JH3 and D2-15 gene segments. Gorny2009 (antibody sequence)
2219: Data is summarized on the X-ray crystal structures resolution and NMR studies of 2219. Sirois2007 (review, structure)
2219: 2219 structure, binding, neutralization, and strategies that can be used for vaccine antigen design to elicit anti-V3 Abs, are reviewed in detail. Lin2007 (review)
2219: To test whether the conformation change of Env induced by CD4 affects the breadth and potency of 2219 neutralization, 2219 was tested in the presence or absence of sCD4 in neutralization of a panel of 12 subtype B and 12 subtype C Env-pseudoviruses. Without sCD4, 2219 neutralized 2 subtype B and 0 subtype C viruses. With sCD4 present, 2219 neutralized 9 subtype B and 1 subtype C virus, indicating that neutralization resistance of some viruses to 2219 is due to a lack of exposure of the V3 loop. Neutralization of JRFL, ADA, and YU2 isolates by 2219 increased with increased dose of sCD4. Wu2008 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
2219: Angle of interaction between 2219 and V3 was shown by superimposing the Fab fragment of the Ab with V3. Pantophlet2008 (antibody binding site, structure)
2219: This Ab was shown to neutralize SF162 and the neutralization sensitivity increased somewhat in the SF162 variant with a JR-FL V3 loop, SF162(JR-FL V3). In contrast, a great reduction in sensitivity to neutralization was observed in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) variant and was somewhat restored in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2/V3) variant, indicating that the masking of the V1/V2 loop plays a much greater role in restricting neutralization sensitivity than the variations in V3. This Ab was shown to neutralize viruses with V3 sequences from several different subtypes (B, F, A1, C, CRF02_AG, CRF01_AE and H). This Ab failed to neutralize SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) with V3 derived from different HIV-1 clades indicating effective V1/V2-mediated masking of several HIV-1 clades. The effect on the neutralization sensitivity of the residue at the crown of the V3 loop (position 18) was shown to be low for this Ab. Krachmarov2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2219: Structure of 2219 Ab in contact with three different V3 peptides was determined in order to gain insight in the structural basis for its cross-reactivity with different HIV-1 clades. It is shown that Fab 2219 binds to one face of the variable V3 beta-hairpin, primarily contacting conserved residues, leaving the V3 crown largely accessible. Twisting of the V3 loop is shown to alter the relative dispositions and pairing of amino acids. 2219 was shown to cross-react with V3 sequences from clades A, B and C and to neutralize viruses from clades A, B and F. Stanfield2006 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons, structure)
2219: This MAb was derived from plasma from a patient with env clade B virus with the GPGR V3 motif. When cross-reactivity was tested, this Ab bound to the V3subtypeB-fusion protein containing GPGR motif and to V3subtypeA-fusion protein containing GPGQ motif. This Ab was also shown to be able to neutralize both clade B psSF162 (GPGR) and clade C psMW965 (GPGQ) virus and three of subtype B but only one of non-B primary isolates. Gorny2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2219: Full-length gp160 clones were derived from acute and early human HIV-1 infections and used as env-pseudotyped viruses in neutralization assays for their characterization as neutralization reference agents. 4 out of 19 pseudoviruses were sensitive to neutralization by 2219, as was the SF162.LS strain. One additional pseudovirus was sensitive at higher Ab concentrations. Li2005a (assay or method development, neutralization)
2219: This review summarizes data on 2219-V3 and 2219-V3 peptide X-ray crystallographic structures and its neutralization capabilities. The binding mechanism of this Ab to V3 explains its ability to neutralize a wide array of HIV-1 primary isolates from different clades. Stanfield2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, review, structure)
2219: This study is about the V2 MAb C108g, that is type-specific and neutralizes BaL and HXB2. JR-FL is a neutralization resistant strain; modification of JRFL at V2 positions 167 and 168 (GK->DE) created a C108g epitope, and C108g could potently neutralize the modified JR-FL. The modification in V2 also increased neutralization sensitivity to V3 MABs 4117c, 2219, 2191, and 447-52D, but only had minor effects on neutralization by CD4BS MAb 5145A, and broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, and 2F5. Binding to CCR5 was completely inhibited by two V3 MAbs, 4117C and 2219, and was substantially inhibited by 2G12, but was not inhibited by C108g. Pinter2005 (antibody binding site)
2219: V1V2 was determined to be the region that conferred the neutralization phenotype differences between two R5-tropic primary HIV-1 isolates, JRFL and SF162. JRFL is resistant to neutralization by many sera and MAbs, while SF162 is sensitive. All MAbs tested, anti-V3, -V2, -CD4BS, and -CD4i, (except the broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2F5, and 2G12, which neutralized both strains), neutralized the SF162 pseudotype but not JRFL, and chimeras that exchanged the V1V2 loops transferred the neutralization phenotype. 5/6 anti-V3 MAbs, including 2219, had similar binding affinity to soluble SF162 and JR-FL rgp120s, although the V3 loop differs at three positions (HigpgrafyTtgE for JR-FL and TigpgrafyAtgD for SF162). Pinter2004 (variant cross-reactivity)
2219: V3 MAb neutralization is influenced by retaining the epitope, exposure on the intact virion, mobility during CD4-induced conformational change, and affinity. Anti-V3 MAbs selected using V3 peptides neutralize less effectively than V3 MAbs selected using fusion proteins or gp120, suggesting antigenic conformation is important. This MAb was selected using a JR-CSF fusion protein, and could neutralize 6/13 B clade viruses. Gorny2004 (antibody binding site)
2219: This review provides summaries of Abs that bind to HIV-1 Env. There are many V3 MAbs, many neutralize some TCLA strains, and a subset can also neutralize some primary isolates. The set that can cross-neutralize primary isolates (2182, 2191, 2219, 2412, 2442, 2456) bind V3 but are conformationally senstitive, suggesting some structural conservation despite sequence variation. These MAbs have distinct epitopes relative to 447-52D, a MAb directed at the tip of the V3 loop that also can neutralize many primary isolates. Inter-clade cross-neutralization by these anti-V3 MAbs is reduced. Gorny2003 (variant cross-reactivity, review, subtype comparisons)
2219: Conformation-dependent anti-V3 loop Abs may be more cross-reactive, so six new V3 MAbs were generated from cells of asymptomatic HIV-1-infected individuals by selection of heterhybridomas using a V3-fusion protein (V3-fp), the HIV-1 JRCSF V3 loop inserted into a truncated murine leukemia virus gp70 -- the six new MAbs all bind to the tip of the V3 loop and cross-compete with the MAb 447-52D and are conformationally sensitive -- MAbs showed cross-clade binding to native, intact virions of clades A(N=2), B(N=4), and F(N=2), limited binding to C(N=3) and D(N=3), and did not bind to CRF01(subtype E, N=2) -- the strength binding was highly correlated with percent neutralization using the ghost cell or PHA blast assay -- five well-characterized MAbs were used as controls: anti-V3 447-52D (anti-V3 MAb for competition and neutralization studies), 654 (anti-CD4BS used as a conformation-sensitive MAb control), 1331A (anti-C5 used as a linear binding site MAb control), MAb 246 (anti-gp41 MAb that bound to primary isolates of all clades) -- 5/6 MAbs were derived from individuals infected in the US, presumably with clade B, and one, 2182, was derived from an individual who was infected abroad with clade A who is presently living in New York city -- 2412 and 2456 were produced from cells obtained from the same individual, while the other MAbs were each generated from different subjects -- 2219 bound to 13/16 of the diverse isolates.

2557: 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).

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. The V3 MAbs tested were: 447, 2219, and 2557. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2557: Neutralizing and binding activity of 18 anti-V3 MAbs from Cameroonian and Indian patients were compared. The Cameroonian patients had CRF02_AG (Env corresponding to clade A) and Indian patients had clade C. MAbs from Cameroonian patients were significantly more cross-neutralizing than those from India, suggesting the preference for CRF02_AG for vaccine design. This MAb was from patient from Cameroon and the subtype of the infecting virus was CRF02_AG. Andrabi2013 (neutralization)
2557: Signature motifs specific for neutralization epitopes present in the V3 loop crown were used to determine the presence or absence of MAb-specific epitopes in vaccine immunogens and in break-through viruses infecting vaccine and placebo recipients in the VAX003 and VAX004 Phase III clinical trials. Of the six epitopes present in the immunogens and targeted by known NAbs, only the one targeted by anti-V3 NAb 2219 exhibited a significant reduction in occurrence in vaccinated subjects from VAX003 Thailand cohort compared to the placebo group. The signature motif used for MAb 2557 is K10, [I,V]12, [Y,F]21 in V3-loop position numbers. Shmelkov2011 (vaccine-induced immune responses)

MAb 2557 interacted with amino acids K304, K305, I307, A308, I309, L317, Y318 of MN V3 peptide. Most of MAb 2557 contact residues were also present at the corresponding positions of the germline VH5-51 gene. All 18 VH5-51 using MAbs were studied with a constrained peptide mimotope which preserved the 3D of the VH5-51 derived MAbs 2219,2557, 1006, but did not react with other anti-V3 MAbs that recognize different V3 epitopes. 14/18 (1006 included) were reactive with the mimotope, compared to only 1/30 non-VH5-51 MAbs. Gorny2011 (mimotopes, antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage)
2557: Masking signatures were developed and analyzed for 4 anti-HIV V3 loop MAbs, 2219, 3074, 2557, 447-52D. The epitopes were classified as "masked" if their signature motifs were present in a virus, but there was no detectible neutralization by the MAb of the same virus in vitro. The signature motif for MAb 2219 used in the study was R9+K10+[l,V]12+[Y,F]21. Of the 4 MAbs, 2219 neutralized the largest number of pseudoviruses containing its epitope. The 2219 neutralization epitope is unmasked in 25/68 (36.8%) of the viruses containing the 2219 epitope. Agarwal2011 (neutralization)
2557: Structure of 2557 bound to a peptide containing the sequence of the V3 loop was used to derive sensitive and specific signature motifs for its neutralization epitope. 2557 epitope (¹⁰Kx[I,V]xxxxxxxxY²¹) was found conserved in 52% of circulating HIV-1 strains belonging to all major subtypes. 2557 neutralized 18% of subtype A pseudovirions, 47% of subtype B, 21% of subtype C, 10% of subtype D and 100% of CRF02_AG. Swetnam2010 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons, structure)
2557: 2557 neutralizing activity was assessed against pseudoviruses expressing Envs of diverse HIV-1 subtypes from subjects with acute and chronic infection. IC50 neutralization activity was also statistically assessed based on the area under the neutralization curves (AUC). 2557 was able to neutralize 5/57 viruses in U87-based assay and 13/41 viruses in TZM-based assay, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 viruses, viruses of subtypes B, C, D, AG, and viruses from both chronic and acute infections. AUC analysis revealed that 22/57 viruses in the U87-based assay, and 12/41 viruses in the TZM-based assay, were significantly neutralized by this Ab. Thus, the AUC method has the ability to detect low levels of neutralizing activity that otherwise may be missed. Hioe2010 (assay or method development, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
2557: Two V3-scaffold immunogen constructs were designed and expressed using 3D structures of cholera toxin B (CTB), V3 in the gp120 context, and V3 bound to 447-52D MAb. The construct (V3-CTB) presenting the complete V3 was recognized by 2557 MAb and by the large majority of other MAbs (18/24), indicating correctly folded and exposed MAb epitopes. V3-CTB induced V3-binding Abs and Abs displaying cross-clade neutralizing activity in immunized rabbits. Short V3-CTB construct, presenting a V3 fragment in conformation observed in complex with 447-52D, was recognized by 2557 and by 9/24 other MAbs. Totrov2010 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, structure)
2557: Crystal structures of 2557 Fab in complex with different V3 peptides revealed that 2557 interactions can be divided into three regions: the arch, the circlet, and the band. 2557 CDR L3 was unusually long (19 residues), but it pointed away from the V3 binding site. Crystal analyses of 2219 and 1006-15D Ab-V3 complexes revealed that they interact with V3 in similar manner as 2557, indicating that these Abs recognize V3 using similar modes of binding. It is shown that broadly-reactive Abs can bind to conserved elements in four regions of the V3: the arch, the circlet, the band, and the V3 peptide main chain backbone. These conserved elements are either unaffected by or are subjected to minimal sequence variation. A mimotope that preserved the key structural elements in the circlet and band regions, but with GPG of the arch replaced by a disulfide bond, interacted with broadly reactive MAbs 2557, 1006 and 2219. It did not react with 447-52D nor 268-D, which are dependent on the Arg in the arch. Thus, mimotopes can be constructed that may focus the immune response on structurally conserved elements. Jiang2010 (antibody binding site, mimotopes, structure)
2557: The Ig usage for variable heavy chain of this Ab was as follows: IGHV:5-51*01, IGHD:3-22, D-RF:2, IGHJ:3. There was a preferential usage of the VH5-51 gene segment for V3 Abs. The usage of the VH4 family for the V3 Abs was restricted to only one gene segment, VH4-59, and the VH3 gene family was used at a significantly lower level by these Abs. The V3 Abs preferentially used the JH3 and D2-15 gene segments. Gorny2009 (antibody sequence)
2557: This Ab was shown to neutralize SF162 and the neutralization sensitivity increased in the SF162 variant with a JR-FL V3 loop, SF162(JR-FL V3). In contrast, a great reduction in sensitivity to neutralization was observed in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) variant and was somewhat restored in the SF162(JR-FL V1/V2/V3) variant, indicating that the masking of the V1/V2 loop plays a much greater role in restricting neutralization sensitivity than the variations in V3. This Ab was shown to neutralize viruses with V3 sequences from several different subtypes (B, F, A1, H, C, CRF02_AG and CRF01_AE). This Ab failed to neutralize SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) with V3 derived from different HIV-1 clades except A1, indicating effective V1/V2-mediated masking of several HIV-1 clades. The effect on the neutralization sensitivity of the residue at the crown of the V3 loop (position 18) was shown to be low for this Ab. Krachmarov2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2557: This MAb was derived from plasma from a patient with env clade A virus with the GPGQ V3 motif. When cross-reactivity was tested, this Ab bound to both the V3subtypeB-fusion protein containing GPGR motif and V3subtypeA-fusion protein containing GPGQ motif. This Ab was also shown to be able to neutralize both clade B psSF162 (GPGR) and clade C psMW965 (GPGQ) virus and the majority of subtype B and non-B primary isolates. Gorny2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
2557: Sera from subtype A infected individuals from Cameroon have antibodies that react strongly with subtype A and subtype B V3 loops in fusion proteins, and neutralize SF162 pseudotypes, while sera from 47 subtype B infected individuals reacted only with subtype B V3s. Sera from Cameroon did not neutralize primary A or B isolates, due to indirect masking by the V1/V2 domain rather than due to loss of the target epitope. 2557 was derived from a person infected with a clade A or CRF02 virus, and binds to A and B V3 loops. Neutralization of JR-FL and SF162(UG V3) by anti-V3 MAbs 2557, 2558, 2601, but not subtype A primary isolates despite binding to the subtype A V3 loops, suggested masking by V1V2 blocking of neutralization by these antibodies. Krachmarov2005 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2557: MAbs 2557 and 2558 were produced from individuals who were infected with the CRF02AG virus subtype and living in Cameroon. V3 MAb neutralization is influenced by retaining the epitope, exposure on the intact virion, mobility during CD4-induced conformational change, and affinity. Anti-V3 MAbs selected using V3 peptides neutralize less effectively than V3 MAbs selected using fusion proteins or gp120, suggesting antigenic conformation is important. This antibody was selected using a JRCSF fusion protein. Gorny2004 (antibody generation)

2158: 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). Yates2018 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses, binding affinity)
2158: 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 2158), 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)
2158: 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 V2 Ab 2158 did not bind cell surface or neutralize 92UG037.8 HIV-1 isolate though it did bind gp160 minus its C-terminus (gp160ΔCT) moderately, and was able to bind weakly in the presence of sCD4. Chen2015 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2158: 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. The V2i MAbs tested were: 697, 830A, 1357, 1361, 1393, 2158, and 2297. Upadhyay2014 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2158: This study characterized the Elisa cross-reactivity, neutralization, and Ig variable genes of a panel of 7 anti-V2 mAbs: 1361, 1393A, 1357, 697, 830A, 2158, and 2297. Despite sequence variability, the 7 mAbs recognize conserved immunologic features of V2, with 6 of them targeting similar epitopes. The crystal structure of the mAb 697 binding site was determined. Gorny2012 (neutralization)
2158: This study solved the crystal structure of mAb 2158 and -constructed a full-length model of V1V2. Structure, modeling and mutagenesis assays were used to define the conformational epitope K168, K169, A172, Y173, L193, P179, D180, V181, which includes the integrin binding site in V2. Spurrier2014 (antibody binding site, structure)
2158: This study analyzed the neutralization sensitivity of sequential HIV-1 primary isolates during their natural evolution in 5 subtype B and CRF02_AG HIV-1 infected drug naive individuals to 13 anti-HIV-1 MAbs (including this MAb) directed at epitopes in the V2, V3, CD4bd and carbohydrates. Patient viruses evolved to become more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed at epitopes at V2, V3 and CDbd, indicating that cross sectional studies are inadequate to define the neutralization spectrum of MAb neutralization with primary HIV-1 isolates. Haldar2011 (neutralization)
2158: 2158 bound very weakly to SF162 wild type and not at all to SF162 mutant, carrying only the monomeric form of the Env protein. Kimura2009 (binding affinity)
2158: gp120 in complex with 2158 had higher reactivity with 694/98-D compared to the uncomplexed gp120. Hioe2009 (binding affinity)
2158: V1V2 was determined to be the region that conferred the neutralization phenotype differences between two R5-tropic primary HIV-1 isolates, JRFL and SF162. JRFL is resistant to neutralization by many sera and MAbs, while SF162 is sensitive. All MAbs tested, anti-V3, -V2, -CD4BS, and -CD4i, (except the broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2F5, and 2G12, which neutralized both strains), neutralized the SF162 pseudotype but not JRFL, and chimeras that exchanged the V1V2 loops transferred the neutralization phenotype. Three anti-V2 MAb were tested -- both 2158 and 830A bound more strongly to JRFL, but neutralized SF162, and not neutralize JRFL. Thus V2 domains are better neutralization targets in SF162. Pinter2004 (variant cross-reactivity)
2158: The role of serine proteases on HIV infection was explored. Trypsin decreased the binding of most Env MAb tested and diminished cell fusion of H9 cells infected with HIV-1 LAI virus (H9/IIIB) to MAGI cells. In contrast, thrombin increased the binding of MAbs to gp120 epitopes near the CD4 and CCR5 binding sites, and increased cell fusion. Binding of 17b and F105 was decreased by trypsin, but increased by thrombin. V2 MAbs 830A and 2158 were decreased by trypsin, unaffected by thrombin. Thrombin may increase HIV-induced cell fusion in blood by causing a conformational activating shift in gp120. Ling2004 (antibody binding site)
2158: A pseudotyping assay showed that an X4 V3 loop peptide could enhance infectivity of X4 virus, R5 and R5X4 V3 loops peptides could enhance infectivity of an R5 virus, and R5X4 peptides could enhance infectivity of an R5X4 virus. Neither R5 nor R5X4 peptides influenced binding of CD4BS MAbs F105 and Ig1Gb12, but did increase binding of CD4i MAb 17b. Of three V2 MAbs, only 830A, not 2158 or 1357, was enhanced by V3 peptide binding. Ling2002 (antibody binding site, co-receptor)

2G12: 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. 2G12-Env formed a distinct group within the Glycan-V3 category, Class 2G12 due to its unique V_H domain structure. Data for 2G12 complexed to BG505 DS-SOSIP trimer and VRC03 as a cryo-EM electron-density map was solved and deposited as EMD-8981. 2G12 epitope residues on Env were defined as residue 411 and glycans N295, N332, N339, and N392 from the cryo-EM reconstruction. Chuang2019 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, antibody sequence, structure, antibody lineage, broad neutralizer)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. Thida2019 (ADCC, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. 2G12 broadly neutralized HIV-1AD8 full-length and cytoplasmic tail-deleted Envs. Castillo-Menendez2019 (vaccine antigen design, structure)
2G12: The authors mutated two conserved tyrosine (Y) residues within the V2 loop of gp120 Y177 and Y173, individually or in combination, by replacing them with either phenylalanine (F) or alanine (A) in a clade B, tier 1B HIV-1 Env protein (BaL), and in a number of tier 2 HIV-1 Envs from different clades, namely, BG505 (clade A), JR-FL and JR-CSF (clade B), and CM244 (clade E). A consistent hierarchy of neutralization sensitivity was seen among the mutants, with a greater impact of Y177 over Y173 single mutations, of double over single mutations, and of A over F substitutions. The double-alanine mutation in mutant HIV-1 BaL, Y173A Y177A, increased sensitivity to all the weakly neutralizing MAbs tested and even rendered the virus sensitive to non-neutralizing antibodies against the CD4 binding site, such as F105, 654-30D, and b13. When tested against bNAbs instead, there was a trend to decrease neutralization sensitivity compared to WT, with the exception of N6, PGT151, 10E8, and 2G12, for which there was no change, and of 2F5 and 4E10, which were more effective against the mutant compared to the WT. Guzzo2018 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: 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 N332 supersite recognized by PGT121, PGT128, PGT135, and 2G12, 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)
2G12: 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, sensitivity to antibodies 2G12 and PGT151 was not affected for either mutant virus E153C/K178C/G152E and I184C/E190C. deTaeye2019 (antibody interactions, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, structure, broad neutralizer)
2G12: 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.

2G12: 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). Sather2014 (neutralization, broad neutralizer)
2G12: 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. Bricault2019 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, computational epitope prediction, broad neutralizer)
2G12: The influence of a V2 State 2/3-stabilizing Env mutation, L193A, on ADCC responses mediated by sera from HIV-1-infected individuals was evaluated. Conformations spontaneously sampled by the Env trimer at the surface of infected cells had a significant impact on ADCC. 2G12 was used as a conformation-independent antibody. Prevost2018 (ADCC)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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 2G12 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)
2G12: 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 showed low level of binding to 2G12 in ELISA EC50 and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays. 6240.B gp120 exhibited binding to 2G12. Wen2018 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Assays of poly- and autoreactivity demonstrated that broadly neutralizing NAbs are significantly more poly- and autoreactive than non-neutralizing NAbs. 2G12 is neither autoreactive nor polyreactive. Liu2015a (autoantibody or autoimmunity, antibody polyreactivity)
2G12: A panel of 14 pseudoviruses of subtype CRF01_AE was developed to assess the neutralization of several neutralizing antibodies (b12, PG9, PG16, 4E10, 10E8, 2F5, PGT121, PGT126, 2G12). Neutralization was assessed in both TZM-bl and A3R5 cell-based assays. Most viruses were more susceptible to mAb-neutralization in A3R5 than in the TZM-bl cell-based assay. The increased neutralization sensitivity observed in the A3R5 assay was not linked to the year of virus transmission or to the stages of infection, but chronic viruses from the years 1990-92 were more sensitive to neutralization than the more current viruses, in both assays. Chenine2018 (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: 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. Hogan2018 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: 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 2G12. deTaeye2018 (broad neutralizer)
2G12: Repetitive immunization of macaques over 3 years with an Env expressing V3-high mannose glycan, CON-S gp140CFI, elicited plasma antibodies neturalizing HIV-1 expressing high mannose glycans only. NAb DH501 was isolated and found to possess a structure where 3 V_H chain CDRs formed a cavity into which the HIV-1 Env V3-glycan could insert. Rhesus DH501 possessed characteristics of V3-glycan bNAb precursors but its binding to M.CON-S gp140CFI was blocked 70% by 2G12. Saunders2017 (vaccine-induced immune responses, structure)
2G12: 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 glycan NAb 2G12, had a Kd of 10.16 nM and bound the Env-ND well. Witt2017 (vaccine antigen design, binding affinity)
2G12: 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. 2G12 recognizes this trimer antigenically. Chuang2017 (antibody interactions)
2G12: 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)
2G12: Man₉-V3, a synthetic minimal immunogen designed to reflect the HIV-1 native Env V3-glycan bNAb epitope, binds memory B cells and V3-glycan bNAbs as well as germline bNAbs. Man₉-V3 was used to isolate a bNAb from an HIV-1+ subject and also induce V3-glycan-targeting antibodies in rhesus macaques. Using the crystal structure of PGT128-gp120 Env OD (outer domain), Man₉-V3 glycopeptide was synthesized based on Clade B JRFL with deletion of residues 305-320, retention of P321 and stabilization of disulfide bridge C296-C331. High mannose-glycans presented on Man₉-V3 were appropriately spaced for binding to 2G12. Alam2017 (antibody binding site)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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 2G12 was used to prove that the VLP spike included the broad neutralization epitope recognized by it. Huang2017a (therapeutic vaccine, variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. 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)
2G12: The amino acid at gp120 position 375 is embedded in the Phe43 cavity, which affects susceptibility to ADCC. Most M-group strains of HIV-1 have serine at position 375, but CRF01 typically has histidine, which is a bulky residue. MAbs 2G12 and 10E8 were not affected by changes in residue 375, while recognition by CD4i mAbs 17b and A32 was increased by mutations of residue 375 to histidine or tryptophan. Participants in the AIDSVAX vaccine trial were infected by CRF01, and a significant part of the efficacy of this vaccine rested on ADCC responses. The ADCC response of MAbs derived from AIDSVAX participants (CH29, CH38, CH40, CH51, CH52, CH54, CH77, CH80, CH81, CH89, CH91, CH94) was dependent on the presence of 375H and greatly decreased by the presence of 375S. Prevost2017 (ADCC, vaccine-induced immune responses)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: This study investigated Ab binding abilities of saccharide ligands and the effects of the inner water molecules of ligand–Ab complexes. 2G12 complexes with saccharide ligands were studied by modeling to estimate how inner water molecules of the protein affect the dynamics of the complexes as well as the ligand–Ab interaction. This indicates that D -fructose’s strong affinity to the Ab was partly due to the good retentiveness of solvent water molecules of the ligand and its stability of the ligand’s conformation and relative position in the active site. Ueno-Noto2016 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions)
2G12: 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. MAb 2G12 was used as a CD4-independent outer-domain-recognizing antibody to show that more Env is present on the cell surface in cells infected with Vpu-deleted HIV. Ding2015 (ADCC)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was selected to represent mAbs of the outer domain glycan class. Cheeseman2017 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunoprophylaxis)
2G12: 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. Fig S7 showed that gp120 monomer and gp140F trimer both interfered with mAb 2G12 neutralization, but 2G12 was unable to inhibit CD4bs NAb binding. Crooks2015 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: Nedd8 activation enzyme inhibitor, MLN4924, partially blocks Vpu activity through CD4 downregulation. Host antiviral factor BST2, however, is not inhibited and so reversal of Vpu activity is partial, exposing CD4-induced eptiopes that recruit ADCC-mediated host defense. Ab 2G12 which recognizes a CD4-independent epitope was used to show that even under best conditions, MLN4924 only minimally increases the binding of 2G12 to Env. Tokarev2015 (ADCC)
2G12: New antibodies were isolated from 3 patients: Donor 14 (PDGM11, PGDM12, PGDM13, PGDM14), Donor 82 (PGDM21), and Donor 26 (PGDM31). These bnAbs bound both the GDIR peptide (Env 324-327) and the high-mannose patch glycans, enabling broad reactivity. N332 glycan was absolutely required for neutralization, while N301 glycan modestly affected neutralization. Removing N156 and N301 glycans together while retaining N332 glycan abrogated neutralization for PGDM12 and PGDM21. Neutralization by PGDM11-14 bnAbs depended on R327A and H330A substitutions and neutralization by PGDM21 depended on D325A and H330A substitutions. G324A mutation resulted in slight loss of neutralization for both antibody families. In comparison, 2G12 and PGT135 did not show any dependence on residues in the 324GDIR327 region for neutralization activity, although PGT135 did show dependence on H330. Sok2016 (antibody binding site, glycosylation)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. Glycan Ab 2G12 bound cell surface gp160 weakly and strongly bound it without its C-terminal (gp160ΔCT), whether in the presence of sCD4 or not. It was unable to neutralize the 92UG037.8 HIV-1 isolate. Chen2015 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: 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). OD glycan bNAb, 2G12, neutralized and bound B41 pseudovirus and trimer. Pugach2015
2G12: 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. 2G12 non-reciprocally out-competed PGT135 and PGT136, all N332-outer domain (OD) glycan oligomannose patch bNAbs. Derking2015 (antibody interactions, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
2G12: 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 are reactive with bNAb 2G12, which was used to purify antigenically high quality, native-like trimers. OD-glycan binding 2G12 however, was not able to neutralize the equivalent pseudotyped viruses for either trimer. Julien2015 (assay or method development, structure)
2G12: 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. Mannose patch-specific gp120-binding bNAb, 2G12, was conformationally insensitive to mild denaturation during ELISA and bound timers. Schiffner2016 (assay or method development, binding affinity, structure)
2G12: 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 only 2/20 BG505 SOSIP.664-D7324 trimer-immunized rabbits were capable of inhibiting N332 glycan-dependent 2G12 binding to outer domain glycans. Sanders2015 (antibody generation, neutralization, binding affinity, polyclonal antibodies)
2G12: 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-OD glycan bNAb 2G12 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)
2G12: 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. Antibodies 2G12, 2F5, and 4E10 were among the first bnAbs available for clinical testing, and a cocktail of these 3 Abs was assessed in human trials. Stephenson2016 (immunotherapy, review)
2G12: 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. In 2G12 differential G0 content was linked to MUC16 binding supporting a role for G0 glycosylation in preferential MUC16 binding, independent of antigen specificity (Fig: S4).

2G12: A mathematical model was developed to predict the Ab concentration at which antibody escape variants outcompete their ancestors, and this concentration was termed the mutant selection window (MSW). The MSW was determined experimentally for 12 pairings of diverse HIV strains against 7 bnAbs (b12, 2G12, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT128, 2F5). The neutralization of 2G12 was assayed against JRFL-N332S (resistant strain) and JRFL (sensitive strain). Magnus2016 (neutralization, escape)
2G12: 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). Glycan-binding 2G12 bound similarly to monomer and trimer and marginally better to protomer. Yasmeen2014 (antibody binding site, assay or method development)
2G12: 2G12 was expressed in transgenic rice endosperm to evaluate the potential of rice seeds as a vehicle for inexpensive microbicide production. Although the heavy chain was predominantly aglycosylated, the heavy and light chains assembled into functional antibodies with more potent HIV-neutralizing activity than other plant-derived forms of 2G12 bearing typical high-mannose or plant complex-type glycans. Assembled antibody accumulated predominantly in protein storage vacuoles but also induced the formation of novel, spherical storage compartments surrounded by ribosomes indicating that they originated from the endoplasmic reticulum. Vamvaka2016
2G12: 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. 2G12 has been used as a control in detection of glycan-dependent HIV-1 neutralizing sera. Sanchez-Merino2016 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: 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. Outer domain glycan-binding, first generation mAb, 2G12 when compared had a geometric mean of IC₅₀=2.43 µg/ml for 2/12 viruses it neutralized at a potency of 17%. 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)
2G12: 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. 2G12, a high mannose (HM) cluster bnAb belonged to a group with slopes ˜1. Webb2015 (neutralization)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. Of the 8 strains, 7 lacked glycans at Env 295 or 332, or both, suggesting that these glycosylation sites play a role in 2G12 binding and neutralization. Chen2016 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: 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. 2G12 neutralized 20% of the 199 viruses tested, whereas a previous study had estimated this value at 41%. Hraber2014 (neutralization)
2G12: A flow-cytometry-based assay allowed non-radioactive measurement of ADCC-mediated elimination of HIV-1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein (Env)-coated target cells. This assay relies on staining target and effector cells with different dyes, which allows precise gating and permits the calculation of the number of surviving target cells by normalization to flow-cytometry particles. Richard2014 (ADCC, anti-idiotype, assay or method development)
2G12: This study describes a new level of complexity in antibody recognition of the mixed glycan-protein epitopes of the N332 region of HIV gp120. A combination of three antibody families that target the high-mannose patch can lead to 99% neutralization coverage of a large panel of viruses containing the N332/334 glycan site and up to 66% coverage for viruses that lack the N332/334 glycan site. PGT121, PGT128 and PGT135 families were studied. 2G12 was used as control since its binding is N332-dependent but it is less potent and broad in neutralization, recognizes glycans solely, and has a unique domain-exchanged structure. Sok2014a (antibody interactions, glycosylation)
2G12: Incomplete neutralization may decrease the ability of bnAbs to protect against HIV exposure. In order to determine the extent of non-sigmoidal slopes that plateau at <100% neutralization, a panel of 24 bnMAbs targeting different regions on Env was tested in a quantitative pseudovirus neutralization assay on a panel of 278 viral clones. All bNAbs had some viruses that they neutralized with a plateau <100%, but those targeting the V2 apex and MPER did so more often. All bnMAbs assayed had some viruses for which they had incomplete neutralization and non-sigmoidal neutralization curves. bNAbs were grouped into 3 groups based on their neutralization curves: group 1 antibodies neutralized more than 90% of susceptible viruses to >95% (PGT121-123, PGT125-128, PGT136, PGV04); group 2 was less effective, resulting in neutralization of 60-84% of susceptible viruses to >95% (b12, PGT130-131, PGT135, PGT137, PGT141-143, PGT145, 2G12, PG9); group 3 neutralized only 36-60% of susceptible viruses to >95% (PG16, PGT144, 2F5, 4E10). Among the panel tested, antibodies b12, 2G12, PGT136, and PGT137 had relatively few viruses neutralized with an IC50 <1 ug/ml. McCoy2015 (neutralization)
2G12: The neutralization abilities of Abs were enhanced by bioconjugation with aplaviroc, a small-molecule inhibitor of virus entry into host cells. Diazonium hexafluorophosphate was used. The conjugated Abs blocked HIV-1 entry through two mechanisms: by binding to the virus itself and by blocking the CCR5 receptor on host cells. Chemical modification did not significantly alter the potency and the pharmacokinetics. Improvements in potency over the parent Ab was ∼3-fold for 2G12-aplaviroc against the JR-FL isolate. Gavrilyuk2013 (neutralization)
2G12: Galactosyl ceramide (Galcer), a glycosphingolipid, is a receptor for the HIV-1 Env glycoprotein. This study has mimicked this interaction by using an artificial membrane containing synthetic Galcer and recombinant HIV-1 Env proteins to identify antibodies that would block the HIV-1 Env-Galcer interaction. HIV-1 ALVAC/AIDSVAX vaccinee-derived MAbs specific for the gp120 C1 region blocked Galcer binding of a transmitted/founder HIV-1 Env gp140. The antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity-mediating CH38 IgG and its natural IgA isotype were the most potent blocking antibodies.2G12 did not block Env-Galcer binding. Dennison2014 (ADCC, antibody binding site, antibody interactions, glycosylation)
2G12: 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 and offered moderate protection. 2G12 (˜250 μg/mL) yielded partial protection. Yang2014 (immunoprophylaxis, review, antibody gene transfer)
2G12: 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)
2G12: Pairwise combinations of 6 NAbs (4E10, 2F5, 2G12, b12, PG9, PG16) were tested for neutralization of pseudoviruses and transmitted/founder viruses. Each of the NAbs tested targets a different region of gp120 or gp41. Some pairwise combinations enhanced neutralization synergistically, suggesting that combinations of NAbs may enhance clinical effectiveness. Miglietta2014 (neutralization)
2G12: 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
2G12: Dimeric 2G12 is much more potent than the monomeric form. This study compared monomeric and dimeric 2G12 by examination of crystal structures and electron microscopy. The greater potency and breadth of the dimeric form were attributed to intermolecular domain exchange, flexibility, and the avidity effects of bivalent binding. Wu2013 (structure)
2G12: 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)
2G12: The binding affinity of 2G12 for sugar molecules associated with glycans was tested through computer modeling. Affinity for D-fructose was greater than for D-mannose. Koyama2014 (binding affinity)
2G12: The structure of 2G12 in association with Env trimer from HIV strain BG505-SOSIP was characterized. The 2G12 epitope overlaps with several other bNAbs that target the N332 supersite of vulnerability. Glycans N295, N392, and N339 are centrally located within the footprint of the antibody, while N448 and N386 are on the periphery. 2G12 may block membrane fusion by inducing steric hindrance upon primary receptor binding, thus abrogating Env's interaction with coreceptors. Murin2014 (structure)
2G12: 2G12 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 Glycan binding Nab bound well at <10 nM to 3/5 chronic Envs, 4/6 Consensus Envs and 4/7 T/F Envs. Liao2013c (antibody interactions, binding affinity)
2G12: The infectious virion (iVirions) capture index (IVCI) of different Abs have been determined. bnAbs captured higher proportions of iVirions compared to total virus particles (rVirions) indicating the capacity, breadth and selectively of bnAbs to capture iVirions. IVCI was additive with a mixture of Abs, providing proof of concept for vaccine-induced effect of improved capacity. bnAb 2G12 showed significantly high IVCI >1.0, but did not capture HIV subtype B T/F CH040, subtype C CH185.C, or subtype A/E AE.92TH023. Liu2014 (binding affinity)
2G12: 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.ela bound to 2G12, but none of the parental Env were neutralized by 2G12. Carbonetti2014 (elite controllers, vaccine-induced immune responses)
2G12: 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 2G12. Gupta2013
2G12: This study examined how the conserved gp120-gp41 association site adapts to glycan changes that are linked to neutralization sensitivity, using a DSR mutant virus, K601D. K601D has a defective gp120-association, and was sequentially passaged in peripheral blood mononuclear cells to select for suppressor mutations. Mutations 136 and/or glycan 142 increased the sensitivity of T138N and ΔN. Drummer2013 (antibody interactions, glycosylation)
2G12: 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. 2G12 bound to BG505L111A monomer, but failed to neutralize BG505 pseudovirus. Hoffenberg2013 (antibody interactions)
2G12: 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. 2G12 neutralized 33% of a cross-clade panel of 157 HIV-1 isolates (Fig. S1) while 1F7 neutralized only 20% of the isolates. Gach2013 (neutralization)
2G12: This study reported the Ab binding titers and neutralization of 51 patients with chronic HIV-1 infection on supressive ART for 3 yrs. A high titer of Ab against gp120, gp41, and MPER was found. Patient sera were evaluated for binding against recombinant gp120_JR-FL mutants lacking either the V1/V2 loop or the V3 loop. Significantly higher end point binding titers and HIV1_JR-FL neutralization were noticed in patients with >10 compared to <10 yrs of detectable HIV RNA. 2G12 was used as a CD4b Ab control. Gach2014 (neutralization, HAART, ART)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a reference Ab in neutralization assay comparing A3R5 and TZM-bl. McLinden2013 (assay or method development)
2G12: The crystal structure of PGT135 with gp120, CD4 and Fab 17b was analyzed to study how PGT135 recognizes its Asn332 glycan-dependent epitope. The combined structural studies of PGT 135, PGT 128 and 2G12 show this Asn332-dependent epitope is highly accessible and much more extensive than initially appreciated, allowing for multiple binding modes and varied angles of approach, thus representing a supersite of vulnerability for antibody neutralization. Kong2013 (structure)
2G12: 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. 2G12 is a V3-glycan Ab, with breadth 18%, IC₅₀ 4.85 μg per ml, and its unique feature is glycan-only recognition. Kwong2013 (review)
2G12: A32 and 2G12 MAbs were used to trigger ADCC activity and to show that HIV Nef and Vpu protect HIV-infected CD4+ T cells from ADCC through down-modulation of CD4 and BST2. Pham2014 (ADCC)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used in CD4 coexpression and competitive binding assay. Results showed a strong correlation of deletion of vpu gene and 2G12 binding. Veillette2014 (ADCC)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a control and A32 showed >3 fold higher ADCC activity than 2G12. Ferrari2011a (ADCC)
2G12: Env pseudo-typed viruses generated from 7 transmitting and 4 non-transmitting mothers and their children were studied to identify phenotypes that associate with the risk of mother to child transmission. There were no differences in neutralization with 2F5, 2G12, 4E10 and b12, but transmitting mothers had higher autologous NAb responses against gp120/gp41, suggesting that strong autologous neutralization activity can associate with risk of transmission and be in fact detrimental. Baan2013 (neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: 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)
2G12: A panel of NAbs and non-neutralizing Abs (NoNAbs) displaying the highest Fc γR-mediated inhibitory activity and significant ADCC were selected and formulated in a microbicidal gel and tested for their antiviral activity against SHIVSF162P3 vaginal challenge in non-human primates. Combination of 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10 fully prevented vaginal transmission. Two NoNAbs 246-D and 4B3 had no impact on viral acquisition, but reduced plasma viral load. Moog2014 (ADCC, SIV)
2G12: The complexity of the epitopes recognized by ADCC responses in HIV-1 infected individuals and candidate vaccine recipients is discussed in this review. 2G12 is discussed as the C2, C3, C4 and V4 glycation sites-targeting neutralizing anti-gp120 mAb exhibiting ADCC activity and having a discontinuous epitope. Pollara2013 (ADCC, review)
2G12: "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)
2G12: 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". 2G12 with its high-mannose glycan profile showed binding to gp160ER, considered as VLP-contaminant. Crooks2011 (glycosylation)
2G12: This study described a potential novel conformational epitope that is present in a subtype C infected subject during early infection. This epitope was recognized by three different B cell receptors and elicited both glycan dependent and independent MAbs. This also showed the power of a single strategically placed amino acid change in viral escape. 2G12 was discussed as a BnAb directed against glycan in describing the role of "glycan shield" in viral escape. Lynch2011a (glycosylation, escape, cell-line isolated antibody)
2G12: The role of NK cells and NK cell receptor polymorphisms in the assessment of HIV-1 neutralization is reported. 2G12 was used in viral inhibition assay as a control to compare NK cells participation and activity. Brown2012 (neutralization, NK cells)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used in ELISA to asses the recognition of the purified Env glycoproteins and recognized a high-mannose glycan array on the gp120 outer domain. Mao2012 (structure)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as an anti-gp120 to study effects of Ab specificity and affinity on ADCC against HIV-1 infected targets. Smalls-Mantey2012 (ADCC, assay or method development)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a glycan specific Ab and as a negative control to compare binding specificity of VRC06. Li2012
2G12: Immunogenicity of gp120 immunogens from two pairs of clade B and two pairs of clade C mother-to-child transmitted HIV-1 variants was studied in rabbits. While high level Env-specific antibody responses were elicited by all immunogens, their abilities to NAb responses differed and neutralization-resistant variants elicited broader NAb. Each of the six Env antigens resistant to 2G12 lacked at least one of the four Potential N-Linked Glycosylation sites (PNGS) important for 2G12 binding. Wang2012 (mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: Protective potency of PGT121 was evaluated in vivo in rhesus macaques. PGT121 efficiently protected against high-dose challenge of SHIV SF162P3 in macaques. Sterilizing immunity was observed in 5/5 animals administered 5 mg/kg antibody dose and in 3/5 animals administered 0.2 mg/kg, suggesting that a protective serum concentration for PG121 is in the single-digit mg/mL. PGT121was effective at serum concentration 600-fold lower than for 2G12 and 100-fold lower than for b12. Moldt2012a (immunoprophylaxis)
2G12: The unbinding kinetics of the gp120-2G12, Man(4)-2G12, and Man(5)-2G12 interactions were measured by single-molecule force spectroscopy. This is the first single-molecule study aimed at dissecting the carbohydrate-antibody recognition of the gp120-2G12 interaction. The study confirmed crystallographic models that show both the binding of the linear Man(4) arm to 2G12 and also the multivalent gp120 glycan binding to 2G12. Martines2012 (binding affinity)
2G12: Three mouse B cell lines expressing domain-exchanged 2G12 WT, the non-domain-exchanged 2G12 I19R variant, and 2G12 gl as IgM B cell receptors (BCRs) were used to determine the potential of carbohydrate immunogens to elicit Y-shaped or domain-exchanged antibodies in vivo. HIV envelope glycoproteins and candidate glycoconjugate vaccines were compared for their ability to activate these B cell lines. Several of these immunogens were able to activate both 2G12 WT and 2G12 I19R B cell lines, and the discrete cluster of oligomannose glycans could selectively activate the domain-exchanged 2G12 WT cells. None of the immunogens tested were able to activate the germ line 2G12 B cells. The engineered B cell lines were more sensitive than standard ELISA binding assays and may help in the design of immunogens that elicit 2G12-like domain-exchanged antibodies in vivo. Doores2013 (assay or method development, glycosylation)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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 glycan-V3 site, type glycans and domain swapping, 2G12 class, 2G12 family. Kwong2012 (review, structure, broad neutralizer)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. 2G12, which recognizes carbohydrates, 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 2G12. Klein2013 (neutralization, structure, antibody lineage)
2G12: 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. 2G12 bound trimers and monomers equally well, indicating that the epitope is fully accessible in both forms. Kovacs2012 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Crystal structure and mechanistic analysis of 2F5-gp41 complex is reported. b12 has been referred as a BnAb directed against the exterior gp120 envelope glycoprotein. Ofek2004 (antibody interactions, structure)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was discussed in terms of recognizing terminal dimannose and binding to glycan coat. Pejchal2011 (glycosylation, structure, broad neutralizer)
2G12: 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. 2G12 has been used as a control CD4BS binding Ab in neutralization assays. Haim2011 (antibody interactions)
2G12: Glycan Asn332-targeting broadly cross-neutralizing (BCN) antibodies were studied in 2 C-clade infected women. The ASn332 glycan was absent on infecting virus, but the BCN epitope with Asn332 evolved within 6 months though immune escape from earlier antibodies. Plasma from the subject CAP177 neutralized 88% of a large multi-subtype panel of 225 heterologous viruses, whereas CAP 314 neutralized 46% of 41 heterologous viruses but failed to neutralize viruses that lack glycan at 332. CAP177 or CAP314 clones were not sensitive to 2G12. Moore2012 (neutralization, escape)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a negative control Abs in competitive binding assay with non human primates mAbs. Sundling2012 (vaccine-induced immune responses)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used in BN-PAGE trimer shift assay. Melchers2012 (neutralization)
2G12: 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. 2G12 has been referred in discussing the breadth and potency of antiCD4 abs. West2012a (antibody lineage)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used to determine and compare the immunogenicity of homo and heterotrimers gp140s. 2G12 didn't exhibit any difference in binding to homotrimeric clade A and clade B gp140 binding. Sellhorn2012 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: This paper showed that nAb 2G12, which binds to gp120 N glycans with α (1,2)-linked mannose termini and inhibits replication after passive transfer to patients, neutralizes by slowing entry of adsorbed virus. It is suggested that 2G12 competitively inhibits interactions between gp120 V3 loop and the tyrosine sulfate containing amino terminus, thus reducing assembly of complexes that catalyze entry. Platt2012 (antibody interactions, glycosylation)
2G12: The use of computationally derived B cell clonal lineages as templates for HIV-1 immunogen design is discussed. 2G12 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)
2G12: Polyclonal B cell responses to conserved neutralization epitopes are reported. Cross-reactive plasma samples were identified and evaluated from 308 subjects tested. 2G12 was used as a control mAb in the comprehensive set of assays performed. Plasma samples C1-0763 and C1-0219 showed comparable activities with 2G12 in competition ELISA. Tomaras2011 (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
2G12: Role of envelope deglycosylation in enhancing antigenicity of HIV-1 gp41 epitopes is reported. The mechanism of induction of broad neutralizing Abs is discussed. The hypothesis of presence of "holes" in the naive B cell repertoires for unmutated B cell receptor against HIV-1 Env was tested. The authors inferred that glycan interferences control the binding of unmutated ancestor Abs of broad neutralizing mAb to Env gp41. Ma2011 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: 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. 2G12 has been mentioned regarding the recognition of high-mannose glycans Kwong2011 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, review)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a control in neutralizing assay. Klein2012 (neutralization)
2G12: 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. 2G12 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)
2G12: 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. 2G12 has been used as a positive control for epitope mapping and evaluating these anti-gp-140 antibodies and a non-sensitive control to DMR/AAA triple mutation. Mouquet2011 (neutralization)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was used as a control. Lavine2012 (neutralization)
2G12: 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. 2G12 which was isolated in 1996 and discussed in the context of developing broadly cross-neutralizing antibodies. Overbaugh2012 (escape, review)
2G12: Antigenic properties of undigested VLPs and endo H-digested WT trimer VLPs were compared. 2G12 bound gp120 and Env-VLPs equivalently. There was no significant correlation between E168K+N189A WT VLP binding and 2G12 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)
2G12: The ability of several broadly neutralizing antibodies that bind gp10 or gp41 to inhibit cell-cell fusion between Clone69TRevEnv cells induced to express the viral envelope proteins, gp120/gp41 and highly CD4-positive SupT1 cells was investigated. Little or no inhibitory effect on cell-cell fusion was observed. MAbs b12, m14 IgG and 2G12 had moderate inhibitory activity; MAbs 4E10 and 2F5 had no inhibitory activity. Yee2011 (antibody interactions)
2G12: Plasma from 14 R5-tropic SHIV-infected macaques was screened for broadly neutralizing activity. A macaque with highly potent cross-clade plasma NAb response was identified. Longitudinal studies showed that the development of broad and autologous NAb responses occurred coincidentally in this animal. Serum-mapping studies, using pseudovirus point mutants and antigen adsorption assays, indicated that the plasma bNAbs are specific for epitopes that include carbohydrates and are critically dependent on the glycan at position 332 of Env gp120. MAb 2G12 was used for comparison. Walker2011a (neutralization, polyclonal antibodies)
2G12: 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 virus that was sensitive to neutralization by autologous serum was also sensitive to neutralization by MAbs b12, 2G12, 2F5, and 4E10, while the virus that was resistant to neutralization by autologous serum was also resistant to neutralization by all of these antibodies except MAb 2G12. vanGils2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
2G12: A standardized proficiency testing program for measurements of HIV-1-specific NAbs in the TZM-bl assay was developed. Three rounds of optimization involving 21 different test laboratories were required to design the final proficiency testing kit. MAbs b12, 2G12, 2F5, 4E10 and TriMab (b12+2G12+2F5) were used for testing. Todd2012 (assay or method development)
2G12: The inhibitory activity of HIV-1-specific Abs against HIV-1 replication in langerhans cells (LCs) and interstitial dendritic cells (IDCs) was analyzed. Five well-known NAbs 447-52D, 4E10, b12, 2G12, 2F5 strongly inhibited HIV-1BaL and HIV-1TV1 replication in LCs and IDCs, and their inhibitory activities were stronger than those measured on PBMCs. Inhibition was more efficient by IgGs than corresponding IgAs, due to an Fc receptor-dependent mechanism, where HIV-1 inhibition occurs by binding of the Fc portion of IgGs to Fc receptors. Peressin2011 (genital and mucosal immunity, dendritic cells)
2G12: The reactivity profiles of MAbs 4E10, 2F5 and 2G12 to those of four pathogenic autoAbs derived from patients with antiphospholipid-syndrome (APS), and to serum from a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were compared using an autoantigen microarray comprising 106 connective tissue disease-related autoantigens. The reactivity profiles of bNt anti-HIV-1 MAbs were distinct from those of pathogenic autoAbs. Singh2011 (antibody polyreactivity)
2G12: 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). Sajadi2012 (polyclonal antibodies)
2G12: Small sized CD4 mimetics (miniCD4s) were engineered. These miniCD4s by themselves are poorly immunogenic and do not induce anti-CD4 antibodies. Stable covalent complexes between miniCD4s and gp120 and gp140 were generated through a site-directed coupling reaction. These complexes were recognized by CD4i antibodies as well as by the HIV co-receptor CCR5 and elicited CD4i antibody responses in rabbits. A panel of MAbs of defined epitope specificities, was used to analyze the antigenic integrity of the covalent complexes using capture ELISA. MAb 2G12 was used to normalize the concentration of gp140 vs gp140-miniCD4 complex. Martin2011 (mimics, binding affinity)
2G12: 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. MAbs 2F5 and G12 failed to neutralize almost all viruses in the C/07/08/B'C subtype group. 2F5 was potent in neutralizing viruses in subtype B′ and CRF01_AE, while 2G12, could only neutralize a 6/9 of subtype B′ viruses and none of the CRF01_AE viruses. 23/24 2G12-resistant viruses lacked the glycan at position 295 or 332 or both. Shang2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The long-term effect of broadly bNAbs on cell-free HIV particles and their capacity to irreversibly inactivate virus was studied. MPER-specific MAbs potently induced gp120 shedding upon prolonged contact with the virus, rendering neutralization irreversible. The kinetic and thermodynamic requirements of the shedding process were virtually identical to those of neutralization, identifying gp120 shedding as a key process associated with HIV neutralization by MPER bNAbs. Neutralizing and shedding capacity of 7 MPER-, CD4bs- and V3 loop-directed MAbs were assessed against 14 divergent strains. Neutralization with 2G12 was reversible, as 2G12 immediately lost the majority of neutralization activity once access antibody was removed. 2G12 induced 30-60% shedding with 5/14 probed viruses, suggesting that although not a potent shedding inducer, 2G12 can not be considered incapable of inducing shedding. Ruprecht2011 (neutralization, kinetics)
2G12: Circulating HIV-1 virion-immune complexes (ICs), present in approximately 90% of acute subjects were quantified, and the levels and antibody specificity to those in chronic infection were compared. Similar to a nonneutralizing anti-gp41 MAb 7B2, purified plasma IgG from acute HIV-1 subjects bound both infectious and noninfectious virions. This was in contrast to the neutralizing antibody 2G12 MAb that bound predominantly infectious virions. Liu2011c (binding affinity)
2G12: Gold nanoparticles coated with self-assembled monolayers of synthetic oligomannosides [manno-gold glyconanoparticles (GNPs)], which are present in gp120, bound 2G12 with high affinity and interfered with 2G12/gp120 binding. GNPs coated with a linear tetramannoside could block the 2G12-mediated neutralization of a replication-competent virus under conditions that resemble the ones in which normal serum prevents infection of the target cell. Marradi2011 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: Deglycosylations were introduced into the 24 N-linked glycosylation sites of a R5 env MWS2 cloned from semen. Mutants N156-T158A, N197-S199A, N262-S264A and N410-T412A conferred decreased infectivity and enhanced sensitivity to a series of antibodies and entry inhibitors. Mutant N156-T158A showed enhanced neutralization sensitivity to MAb 17b in the absence of soluble CD4, suggesting that deglycosylation in these sites on gp120 may be beneficial for the exposure of a CD4 induced epitope which only exists in the CD4-liganded form of gp120. Huang2012 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: This study analyzed the neutralization sensitivity of sequential HIV-1 primary isolates during their natural evolution in 5 subtype B and CRF02_AG HIV-1 infected drug naive individuals to 13 anti-HIV-1 MAbs (including this MAb) directed at epitopes in the V2, V3, CD4bd and carbohydrates. Patient viruses evolved to become more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed at epitopes at V2, V3 and CDbd, indicating that cross sectional studies are inadequate to define the neutralization spectrum of MAb neutralization with primary HIV-1 isolates. Haldar2011 (neutralization)
2G12: This is a detailed systematic study of the molecular recognition of five synthetic oligomannosides 1–5 in solution by the antibody 2G12 by using ligand-based NMR techniques, specifically saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy and transferred NOE experiments. Enriquez-Navas2011 (glycosylation, structure)
2G12: The sensitivity to PG9 and PG16 of pseudotyped viruses was analysed carrying envelope glycoproteins from the viral quasispecies of three HIV-1 clade CRF01_AE-infected patients. It was confirmed that an acidic residue or a basic residue at position 168 in the V2 loop is a key element determining the sensitivity to PG9 and PG16. In addition, evidence is provided of the involvement of a conserved residue at position 215 of the C2 region in the PG9/PG16 epitopes. B clones were tested against 2G12 MAb recognizing a conformational glycan-dependent epitope on gp120 but 2G12 was not used for the CRF01_AE clones since all of them lacked the N332 residue, which constitutes one of the essential N-glycosylation sites of the 2G12 epitope. 2G12 sensitivity of B clones remained comparable, with only one resistant clone, 5008CL3, which became moderately sensitive. Thenin2012a (neutralization)
2G12: 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 The IC50 and IC90 for anti-gp120–directed bNAb 2G12, were significantly higher for almost all mDC-mediated virus transmission (Lai, NL4-3, Lai/Balenv), compared with cell-free HIV-1 infection.to inhibit mDC-mediated virus spread, compared with cell-free transmission. Only cell-free and mDC-mediated infection of 89.6 virus particles demonstrated no significant IC50 difference against 2G12. 2G12 did not readily bind mDCs in the absence of virus. Around 18% of the mDC–T cell synaptic junctions displayed colocalization of Gag-eGFP VLPs with 2G12. Furthermore, 2G12 did not localize at DC–T cell synaptic junctions in the absence of Gag-eGFP VLPs. Sagar2012 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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)
2g12: A way to produce conformationally intact, deglycosylated soluble, cleaved recombinant Env trimers by inhibition of the synthesis of complex N-glycans during Env production, followed by treatment with glycosidases under conditions that preserve Env trimer integrity is described to facilitate crystallography and immunogenicity studies. As expected, the glycan-dependent 2G12 did not bind to the deglycosylated trimers. Depetris2012 (glycosylation, binding affinity)
2G12: 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. 2G12 bound strongly to RSC3, RSC3/G367R and RSC3 Δ3711, weakly bound to RSC3 Δ3711/P363N, very weakly bound to gp120 core and did not bind to gp120 core D368R. Lynch2012 (binding affinity)
2G12: Sensitivity to bNAbs of primary R5 HIV-1 isolates sequentially obtained before and after AIDS onset was studied. End-stage disease HIV R5 isolates were more sensitive to neutralization by TriMab, an equimolar mix of the IgGb12, 2F5 and 2G12 antibodies, than R5 isolates from the chronic phase. The increased sensitivity correlated with low CD4+ T cell count at time of virus isolation and augmented viral infectivity. Envs from end-stage R5 variants had increased positive surface charge and reduced numbers of potential N-linked glycosylation sites (PNGS). These molecular changes in Env also correlated to sensitivity to neutralization by the individual 2G12 MAb. Molecular modeling suggested that the glycosylation sites lost at end-stage disease are located in close proximity to the 2G12 epitope. Borggren2011 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: 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. Binding of MPER-specific MAb Z13e1 to immature particles was greater than to mature virions and the increase was abolished by truncation of the gp41 CT. Z13e1 bound immature particles approximately 1.5 to 2 times as well as mature particles when the median binding signals were compared indicating that the recognized neutralization-sensitive epitopes undergo conformational masking during HIV-1 particle maturation. Joyner2011 (binding affinity)
2G12: Humoral responses to specific, linear gp41 epitopes were that were already known to be the target of broadly neutralizing antibodies were compared in a cohort of sub-Saharan mother-child pairs. TriMab positive-control Abs (2F5, 2G12, and b12) neutralized all viruses tested: the subtype B laboratory strains SF162 (R5-B) and IIIB (X4-B), and the low-sensitivity subtype C strains, primary isolates DU172 and DU156 (both R5-C). The TriMab control inhibited strain DU156 when all neutralization assays were performed on the DU156 HIV isolate (C-R5) with cord blood specimens from EUN babies. Diomede2012 (neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The possibility to construct a polyepitope B-cell immunogen (TBI-2g12) containing linear mimetics of conformational epitopes and its immunogenic properties was examined. The aim was to select the most active peptide mimetic recognized by MAb 2G12 and to construct the protein immunogen by attaching the selected peptide mimotope VGAFGSFYRLSVLQS to a protein carrier. It was shown that the TBI-2g12 as well as the original TBI induce antibodies, that recognize HIV-1 proteins, TBI protein using ELISA and immunoblotting. Though only anti-TBI-2g12 serum recognized the synthetic peptide mimotope VGAFGSFYRLSVLQS, whereas the antibodies against original TBI don’t recognize it. The neutralization assay demonstrated that serum antibodies of the mice immunized with TBI-2g12 possess virus neutralizing activity suggesting that principal epitope responsible for virus neutralizing activity was formed from VGAFGSFYRLSVLQS peptide in the structure of TBI-2g12 protein. Karpenko2012 (mimotopes, neutralization)
2G12: 162 full-length envelope (env) clones were generated from plasma RNA obtained from 5 HIV-1 Clade B infected mother-infant pairs and their V1-V5 genotypes and phylogeny were extensively characterized. All clones from three infants were resistant to 2G12 and exhibited mutations eliminating one of five PNGS implicated in 2G12 binding. Most maternal clones from these pairs exhibited similar levels of 2G12 resistance, and displayed the corresponding mutations. Kishko2011 (neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: 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. 2G12 was included for comparison and neutralized 5% of contemporary viruses at IC50 < 1 μ g/ml and 14% at IC50 < 5 μ g/ml. TriMab construct, consisting of MAbs b12, 2F5 and 2G12 in equal concentrations, showed the highest neutralization correlation with 2F5 and little similarity with 2G12. Euler2011 (neutralization)
2G12: The neutralization potency of PG9, PG16, VRC01 and PGV04 was approximately 10-fold greater than that of MAbs b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10. Falkowska2012 (neutralization)
2G12: 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 2G12 neutralized 32% of 162 isolates at IC50<50 μg/ml, it was almost 100-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 100-fold lower than that of b12, 2G12 and 4E10. Walker2011 (neutralization)
2G12: Studies were conducted to determine whether differences in immunogenic potential exist between two previously reported primary Env antigens (Clade B primary Env antigens LN40 and B33) with closely related gene sequences and completely different phenotypic features. The B33 Env is resistant to MAb 2G12, while the LN40 Env, having the opposite phenotype of B33, is sensitive to MAb 2G12. Vaine2011 (neutralization)
2G12: HIV-1 subtype C env genes from 19 mother-infant pairs: 10 transmitting in utero (IU) and 9 transmitting intrapartum (IP) were analyzed. A severe genetic bottleneck during transmission was confirmed in all pairs. Compared to the maternal viral population, viruses transmitted IP tended to have shorter variable loops and fewer putative N-linked glycosylation sites than viruses transmitted IU. The pseudotyped viruses displayed some sensitivity to 4E10 and soluble CD4 but were resistant to 2G12, 2F5, and IgG1b12. Russell2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: The influence of potential N-linked glycosylation site (PNGS) N302 on 2G12 sensitivity was assessed based on chimeric envelope genes created by swapping the V1V2 domains of the two env clones. Both the exchange of the V1V2 domain and the introduction of the PNGS at N302 on the 2G12-sensitive clone induced a significant decrease in sensitivity to 2G12. In contrast, the reverse V1V2 exchange and the removal of the PNGS at N302 on the 2G12-resistant clone increased sensitivity to 2G12, confirming the influence of these regions on 2G12 sensitivity. It suggests that both the V1V2 loop and an additional PNGS in V3 might limit access to the 2G12 epitope. Chaillon2011 (glycosylation, neutralization, structure)
2G12: To elicit 2G12-like Ab response it was shown that Manα1→2Man motif was the primary carbohydrate neutralization determinant of HIV-1 that elicited Abs to the self oligomannose glycans. While 2G12 is known to bind to this motif, the specificity of the mannan immune serum (ΔMnn1: S. cerevisiae deficient in the α1→3 mannosyltransferase gene) seemed narrower than some alternative modes of binding postulated for 2G12. ΔMnn1 immune sera revealed fine carbohydrate specificity to Manα1→2Man units, closely matching that of 2G12. The sera also appeared to tolerate the presence of D1 glucosylation indicating perhaps a somewhat wider degree of monosaccharide or linkage specificity compared to 2G12. Dunlop2010 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The development and characterization of a tier 1 R5 SHIV, termed SHIV-1157ipEL is reported. SHIV-1157ipEL is a chimera of the "early", neutralization-sensitive SHIV-1157ip envelope and the "late", neutralization-resistant engineered backbone of SHIV-1157ipd3N4. Molecular modeling revealed a possible mechanism for the increased neutralization resistance of SHIV-1157ipd3N4 Env: V2 loops hindering access to the CD4 binding site, shown experimentally with NAb b12. Sequence analysis performed of the SHIV-1157ipEL-p showed a loss of N295, a key amino acid residue in the epitope of 2G12 that caused SHIV-1157ipEL to become resistant to 2G12. 2G12 only neutralized SHIV-SF162P4 out of the 4 C clade and 2 B clade SHIV strains tested.

2G12: Purified MAb 2G12, produced by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana using replicating and non-replicating systems based on deleted versions of Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) RNA-2, was expressed and characterized based on biochemical properties, in vitro activity and neutralization capabilities. The plant derived purified 2G12 (delRNA-2 + RNA-1 or CPMV-HT) was not as pure as CHO-produced 2G12 (reference standard) although no significant differences were observed between 2G12 produced by delRNA-2 with RNA-1 or by CPMV-HT. Also, 2G12 glycosylation was not greatly affected by the presence of RNA-1 or CPMV-HT. The binding activity of plant derived 2G12 was slightly lower than CHO-produced 2G12 although its neutralization capability was similar to that of CHO-produced 2G12. Sainsbury2010 (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: 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)
2G12: 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. The review discusses the special structure of 2G12 which allows it to overcome the glycan masking strategy that HIV-1 uses to protect itself from antibody recognition. It is noted also that 2G12 can neutralize a significant number of primary isolates from clade B, but is less effective against non-clade B viruses and is not active against most clade C. 2G12 provided protection in macaques against SHIV. Gonzalez2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, escape, review)
2G12: The expression and characterization of different glycoforms of V3-Fc fusion protein along with its binding to HIV-neutralizing Abs 2G12 and 447-52D was examined. The binding affinity of 2G12 was significantly high for the high-mannose type glycoforms of V3-Fc (V3-Fc-HM, V3-Fc-M9 and the two mutants:N301A and Fc-N297A) following a quick association/dissociation kinetic process, although it was not measurable for the complex type glycoform V3-Fc-CT. The affinity to 2G12 was reduced more by removal of the N-glycan at the N301 site than at the N297 site. Very high affinity to 2G12 was observed for gp120 with extremely slow dissociation rate. Yang2010a (glycosylation, binding affinity)
2G12: 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 is mentioned in the context of immunogens based on the epitopes recognized by bNAbs. 2G12 adopts an unusual domain exchanged structure to recognize a conserved cluster of oligomannose residues on the outer domain of gp120 and has provided a basis for the design of immunogens to target the HIV-1 glycan shield. Walker2010a (neutralization, review)
2G12: 37 Indian clade C HIV-1 Env clones obtained at different time points from five patients with recent infection, were studied in neutralization assays for sensitivities to their autologous plasma antibodies and mAbs. All Env variants were resistant to 2G12, except those obtained from IVC-3 patient. This resistance was associated with the absence of N-linked glycosylation site at position 295 at the N-terminal base of V3 loop. The sensitivity of IVC-3 clones was due to the presence of N295, atypical of clade C. Ringe2010 (neutralization)
2G12: This review discusses strategies for design of neutralizing antibody-based vaccines against HIV-1 and recent major advances in the field regarding isolation of potent broadly neutralizing Abs. Sattentau2010 (review)
2G12: The effect of absence and presence of sCD4 on accessibility and binding of HIV-1 gp41 MPER-binding epitopes on CCR5-tropic pseudoviruses from five different clades to the mAbs was studied. The 2G12 N-sites 295, 332, 339, 386, 392 were examined. 2G12 showed high binding affinity to pseudoviruses from clade A (epitope mutant:tWFDIs), clade B (NWFDIT) and clade D (NWFsIT), and very low binding affinity to clade A (NWFDIs), clade B (sWFsIT), clade C (sWFsIT), clade D (NWFsIT) and clade CRF01_AE (NWFDIT) and no binding to clade C (sWFsIT) and clade CRF01_AE (NWFDIs). Peachman2010a (variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Most of the 34 Env-pseudotyped viruses from HIV-1 CRF01_AE - infected plasma samples collected in China could efficiently infect target cells in the presence of high concentrations of 2G12 MAb. Only 1/34 viruses showed low 2G12 susceptibility and all viruses lacked one or more glycans at positions critical for 2G12 neutralization. Nie2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: This review discusses the studies done on poly-reactive antibodies (binding to two different epitopes), and the importance of polyreactivity. Low polyreactivity has been reported for 2G12. Pluckthun2010 (review, antibody polyreactivity)
2G12: A lentiviral vector encoding the heavy and light chains of 2G12 was transduced in the primary human B cells and directed production of 2G12. NOD/SCID/γc mice were transplanted with human hematopoetic stem cells (hu-HSC) transduced with the vector and the animals were inoculated with HIV-1. Mice engrafted with the 2G12-transducted cells displayed a 70-fold reduction in plasma RNA levels and a 200-fold reduction in HIV-1 infected spleen cells compared to control mice, indicating inhibition of in vivo HIV infection by this gene therapy approach. Joseph2010
2G12: This paper shows that a highly neutralization-resistant virus is converted to a neutralization sensitive virus with a rare single mutation D179N in the C-terminal portion of the V2 domain for several antibodies. 2G12, however, did not neutralize any of the mutants tested. ORourke2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: MAb m9 showed superior neutralization potency compared to 2G12 in a TZM-bl assay, where it neutralized all 15 isolates compared to 2G12 that neutralized only 4 clade B isolates but not clade A or C isolates. Zhang2010 (neutralization)
2G12: A side-by-side comparison was performed on the quality of Ab responses in humans elicited by three vaccine studies focusing on Env-specific Abs. Minimal presence of 2G12-like Abs was detected in the three vaccine trials. 17% of sera from the HVTN 203 trial, 0% of sera from the HVTN 041 trial, and 24% of sera from the DP6-001 trial were able to outcompete binding to 2G12 MAb. Vaine2010 (antibody interactions)
2G12: This review focuses on recent vaccine design efforts and investigation of broadly neutralizing Abs and their epitopes to aid in the improvement of immunogen design. NAb epitopes, NAbs response to HIV-1, isolation of novel mAbs, and vaccine-elicited NAb responses in human clinical trials are discussed in this review. Mascola2010 (review)
2G12: Naturally occurring human and experimentally induced murine and rabbit GBV-C E2 Abs were studied for their ability to neutralize diverse HIV-isolates and showed that broadly neutralizing HIV Abs were elicited on immunization of rabbits with GBV-C E2. MAb 2G12 neutralized R5 and dual R5-X4 HIV-1 isolates of subtypes A and B in primary human PBMCs. The TriMAb control including 2G12 did not neutralize the HIV-1 R5 isolate in TZM-bl cells but did in PBMCs. Mohr2010 (neutralization)
2G12: A mathematical framework is designed to determine the number of Abs required to neutralize a single trimer called the stoichiometry of trimer neutralization. 15 different virus antibody combinations divided into five groups based on antibody binding sites were used in the designed model. 2G12 is in a group by itself as it recognizes a carbohydrate-dependent epitope on gp120. The number of 2G12 Abs needed to neutralize a single trimer was estimated as 1 with 97 percent probability. Magnus2010
2G12: BanLec is a lectin isolated from the fruit of bananas that was shown to inhibit HIV-1 isolates of different subtypes and tropisms. Pretreatment of gp120 with BanLec inhibited recognition by 2G12 in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that BanLec inhibits HIV-1 by binding to high-mannose structures also recognized by 2G12. Swanson2010
2G12: Four human anti-phospholipid mAbs were reported to inhibit HIV-1 infection of human PBMC's by binding to monocytes and releasing soluble chemokines. The ability of different anti-phospholid mAbs to inhibit pseudovirus infection was studied. Four out of nine anti-phospholid mAbs inhibited HIV-1 infectivity in PBMC-based virus infection inhibition assay where a mixture of mAbs 2F5, IgG1b12, and 2G12 (TriMab) was used as a positive control. Moody2010 (neutralization)
2G12: A naturally occurring dimeric form of 2G12 was shown to have increased neutralization potency and increased ADCC activity compared to the monomeric form of 2G12. An ADCC-enhancing double mutation improved the ADCC activity of 2G12 monomer more than 2G12 dimer. Klein2010a (ADCC)
2G12: Targeted neutralizing epitopes have been identified based on the change in sensitivity to neutralization due to variations in known immunoepitopes studied in 17 subjects. The glycan removal by N332S mutant from gp120 outer domain decreased the neutralization of gp160 by 2G12. In addition, the N332S mutant escaped neutralization by two patient sera. Nandi2010 (neutralization, escape)
2G12: Molecular modeling was used to construct a 3D model of an anti-gp120 RNA aptamer, B40t77, in complex with gp120. Externally exposed residues of gp120 that participated in stabilizing interaction with the aptamer were mutated. Binding of 2G12 to gp120 was inhibited by B40t77, which is suggested to be due to distant conformational changes of gp120 induced by the aptamer. Joubert2010 (binding affinity, structure)
2G12: A yeast glycosylation mutant was created to expose numerous terminal Man1,2-Man residues. Although the yeast did not bind to 2G12, immunization of rabbits resulted in sera containing Manα1,2-Manα1,2-Man-specific Abs that cross-reacted with Env glycoproteins from HIV-1 subtypes A, B and C. Luallen2010 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: 2G12 was shown to capture virion particles completely devoid of HIV-1 Env. Virus capture assay was modified with added incubation of virions and MAbs in solution followed by removal of unbound MAbs, which nearly eliminated the Env-independent binding by this Ab. This modification also allowed for relative affinity of 2G12 for virions to be quantified. There was an overall reduction in the efficiency of capture of molecular clones (MC) relative to pseudotyped virions by 2G12. In addition, trimeric JR-FL MC was captured more efficiently by 2G12 than nontrimeric Envs from JR-CSF MC virus. Leaman2010 (assay or method development, binding affinity)
2G12: The role of HIV-1 envelope spike density on the virion and the effect it has on MAb avidity, and neutralization potencies of MAbs presented as different isotypes, are reviewed. Engineering approaches and design of immunogens able to elicit intra-spike cross-linking Abs are discussed. Klein2010 (review)
2G12: 18 unique Env clones of subtype C HIV-1 derived from six African countries and Scotland were tested for their neutralization susceptibility by 2G12. 2G12 neutralized only one of the isolates. Koh2010a (neutralization)
2G12: Glycoconjugates were designed consisting of four- and eight-valent high-mannose HIV-1 related oligosaccharides clustered onto flexible polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrons and subsequently conjugated to well-characterized nontoxic diphtheria toxin mutant CRM197 as a carrier. The multivalent presentation of oligomannoses increased the avidity to 2G12. Antisera of mice and rabbits immunized with the glycoconjugates failed to recognize recombinant HIV-1 proteins. Kabanova2010 (glycosylation, vaccine antigen design, binding affinity)
2G12: The effect of presence and absence of V1 loop was assessed using two approaches: remove V1 loop from the soluble trimeric gp140 construct (ΔV1SF162gp140) and second, substitute the V1 loop on SF162gp140 construct with four different V1 loops from 89.6, YU2, JRFL, and HxB2 (heterologous HIV-1 viruses). Deletion or substitution of V1 loop did not affect neutralization by 2G12 and there was only a small change in binding affinity to 2G12. D368R modification to SF162gp120 did not affect the binding by 2G12, although it abrogated neutralization by 2G12 at lower MAb concentrations. Ching2010 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: A hybrid nonself sugar was designed based on the crystal structure of D-fructose in complex with 2G12 Fab to elicit high 2G12 Ab response based on much enhanced (9 times) affinity of 2G12 for D-fructose compared to D-mannose. Introduction of nonself modifications into the D1 arm of high-mannose sugars led to additional interactions of nonself modifications to the 2G12 binding site resulting in enhanced antigenicity. The nonself glycan enhanced 2G12 binding compared to the self glycan, and the antibodies generated in immunized rabbits cross-reacted with the self glycan present in different conjugates, but did not bind the self D1 glycan motif when present on gp120. Doores2010c (glycosylation, binding affinity)
2G12: The effect of HIV-1 complement opsonization on 2G12 activity was evaluated in three instances: HIV-1 transcytosis through epithelial cells, HIV-1 attachment on immature monocyte derived dendritic cells (iMDDC), and infectivity of iMDDC. 2G12 was not able to inhibit HIV-1 transcytosis. 2G12 inhibited the attachment of non-opsonised HIV to iMDDC but had no effect on the opsonized HIV-1 attachment. 2G12 was able to inhibit production of both opsonized and non-opsonized HIV-1 in iMDDCs. Jenabian2010 (complement)
2G12: A germ line version of 2G12 was constructed that was not domain exchanged and did not detectably bind to gp120. Introducing increasing number of substitutions to germ line 2G12 resulted in domain exchanged wild type form of this Ab. Only 5-7 crucial substitutions were found necessary to induce considerable domain exchange of germ line 2G12; Ih19, Rh57, Eh75, Rh39, Ah14, Vh84 and Ph113. Huber2010 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Clustering analysis was performed to find patterns of neutralization reactivity for the dataset of 103 patients sera against 20 viruses. The clustering by five MAbs (including 2G12) against the 20 isolates was less statistically robust than that with serum titers, resulting in three clusters for both cases. The membership in an isolate cluster defined by serum titers was compared with its sensitivity to every MAb to understand the relationship of serum and MAb reactivity. Membership in all the three clusters did not correlate with sensitivity to 2G12. Doria-Rose2010 (neutralization)
2G12: The sensitivity of subtype C viruses to lectins GRFT, CV-N and SVN was analysed and compared to that of subtype A and B viruses which showed same sensitivity by all three viruses for all the three lectins. It was also examined whether lectin binding interfered with the access to the 2G12 epitope and there was competition among the compounds for virus capture. GRFT and CV-N inhibited the virus capture more effectively than SVN. Virus capture by 2G12 was inhibited for all three viruses using same amount of lectin concentrations. The results suggested overlap of 2G12 epitope with the binding sites of all the three lectins. Alexandre2010 (binding affinity)
2G12: Addition of bacterial endotoxin (LPS) had no effect on the potency of 2G12 neutralization in TZM-bl assay but addition of LPS in PBMC assay increased neutralization potency of 2G12. Endotoxin contamination was shown to mediate release of antiviral chemokines in PBMCs and is thus suggested to be able to cause false-positive results in PBMC-based neutralization assays. Geonnotti2010 (neutralization)
2G12: In order to overcome problems of the PBMC-based neutralization assay a novel approach was developed utilizing a platform based on Renilla luciferase (LucR) expressing HIV-1 proviral backbone. Env-IMC-LucR reporter viruses expressing HIV-1 envs from different virus strains were incubated with NAbs, such as 2G12, and used to infect donor PBMCs. The inhibition was assessed by measuring virus-encoded LucR activity in the cell lysates. There was a dosage dependent effect of 2G12 on virus infectivity. Variation in sensitivity to 2G12 was observed among different donor PBMCs, and this high variability was suggested to be a real biological effect attributable to use of different donor PBMCs, rather than assay-to-assay variability. Edmonds2010 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: The identity of N-linked glycans from primary isolates of subtypes A, B and C was studied. Results showed highly conserved virus-specific glycan profile devoid of medial Golgi-mediated processing. When mutant viruses with glycosylation site deletions that disrupt the 2G12 epitope were analyzed, there was a modest decrease of Man8-9GlcNAc2 glycans, but the overall profile remained unperturbed. This confirmed the sensitivity of 2G12 for a small subset of Manα1-2Man glycans. Doores2010b (glycosylation)
2G12: Subtype B HIV-1 variants from historical seroconverters (individuals that seroconverted between 1985 and 1989) were equally sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 as variants isolated from contemporary seroconverters (ndividuals that seroconverted between 2003 and 2006). Bunnik2010a (neutralization, dynamics)
2G12: 17b was linked with sCD4 and the construct was tested for its neutralization breadth and potency. sCD4-17b showed significantly greater neutralization breadth and potency compared to 2G12, neutralizing 100% of HIV-1 primary isolates of subtypes A, B, C, D, F, CRF01_AE and CRF02_AG, while 2G12 neutralized some isolates of subtypes B and D. Unlike sCD4-17b, 2G12 was not equivalently active against virus particles generated from different producer cell types. Lagenaur2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: 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. 2G12 neutralized and bound to both cleaved and uncleaved ΔV1V2 variants more potently compared to the wild type virus, indicating better accessibility of the 2G12 epitope when the V1V2 domain is deleted. Bontjer2010 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Five different glycoforms of 2G12, generated in wild type and glycoengineered plants and in Chinese hamster ovary cells, were used to investigate the impact of Ab Fc glycosylation on the antiviral activity of the Ab. All five 2G12 glycoforms had similar binding profiles to cells expressing FcγRI, FcγRIIa or FcγRIIb. In contrast, two glycoforms of 2G12 lacking fucose showed significantly enhanced binding to cells expressing FcγRIIIa, compared to 2G12 glycoforms carrying core fucose. The two non-fucosylated forms of 2G12 also showed stronger antiviral activity against HIV-1 and SIV in ADCVI-assays compared to the fucosylated forms of 2G12. Forthal2010 (glycosylation, binding affinity)
2G12: A single amino acid substitution (I19R) was used to produce a nondomain-exchanged variant of 2G12 (2G12 I19R). 2G12 I19R was able to recognize the same mannose motifs on recombinant gp120, synthetic glycoconjugates, and on Candida albicans as the wild type 2G12. However, 2G12 I19R was unable to recognize the cluster of mannose motifs in the context of HIV envelope trimer, and was unable to neutralize 2G12-sensitive HIV-1 pseudovirions. Crystallographic structure of 2G12 I19R showed that this Ab and the wild type 2G12 have identical Fab binding units but that they display dramatically different juxtapositioning of their variable versus constant regions. These differences lead to remarkably different binding characteristics. Doores2010a (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
2g12: Various UV-activatable azido- and iodo-based hydrophobic compounds have been studied for their ability to inactivate HIV-1 virus while preserving their surface antigenic structures. The virus was inactivated by treating it with azido-containing hydrophobic compounds and UV irradiation. The preservation of known neutralizing epitopes on the viral surface of treated virus was tested using the known neutralizing Abs. There was no significant effect on 2g12 recognition and capture of the virus treated with azido-compounds and irradiated with UV for 2 or 15 minutes compared to the untreated virus, hence no damage to its epitopes. Belanger2010 (binding affinity)
2G12: This review discusses recent research done to improve the production, quality, and cross-reactivity of binding Abs, neutralizing Abs, monoclonal Abs with broad neutralizing activity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated viral inhibition (ADCVI), and catalytic Abs. Studies focusing on several aspects of BNAb roles in vaccine development, and studies done to better understand the broad binding capacity of BNAbs are reviewed. Baum2010 (ADCC, neutralization, review)
2G12: Parent and GnTI (complex glycans of the neutralizing face are replaced by fully trimmed oligomannose stumps) viruses were equally sensitive to neutralization by 2G12, indicating that replacement of complex glycans does not affect the already exposed 2G12 epitope on the silent domain of the virus. Absence of the glycan at residue N301 (N301Q mutant virus) had no effect on 2G12 neutralization. Viruses subjected to removal of outer domain glycans by Endo H treatment were recognized less efficiently by 2G12. Binley2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: Pseudoviruses containing Env mutations (V255E, S375N or A433T), which were in vitro selected with the small CD4-mimicking compound NBD-556, showed the same neutralization sensitivities as the wild type virus to 2G12. Yoshimura2010 (mimics, neutralization)
2G12: Neutralizing sensitivity of L669S mutant virus to 2G12 was not significantly different from the neutralizing sensitivity of the wild type virus. Shen2010 (neutralization)
2G12: Neutralization potency of 2G12 was compared to that of HK20 scFv in TZM-based assay using 45 Tier 1 and Tier 2 HIV isolates. 2G12 neutralized 12/45 isolates. In addition, 2G12 was used in TriMab, together with 2F5 and b12, to examine neutralization of 9 clade A, B, C, D and E isolates in PBMC assay. Here, TriMab neutralized 7 isolates with 2 not determined. Sabin2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Using a humanized mouse model it was shown that passively transferred 2G12 dimer was more potent than 2G12 monomer at preventing CD4 T cell loss and suppressing increase in viral load in mice challenged with JR-CSF virus. 100µg/ml of combined 2G12 monomer and dimer significantly reduced the severity of HIV-1 infection in mice with high-dose challenge, but this 2G12 dose resulted in escape mutations at the N295 residue. Providing 2G12 dimers continuously at 5-25µg/ml by IgG tumor backpacks in mice resulted in effective protection against HIV-1, while complete escape to 2G12 neutralization was not observed. Luo2010 (immunoprophylaxis, neutralization, escape, immunotherapy)
2G12: B cell depletion in an HIV-1 infected patient using rituximab led to a decline in NAb titers and rising viral load. Recovery of NAb titers resulted in control of viral load, and the newly emerged virus population was examined. The common ancestor of this new viral population showed evidence of positive selection and presence of N339E mutation, which inhibited neutralization by 2G12 fourfold. However, there was no binding competition between patient sera and 2G12. Huang2010 (antibody interactions, escape)
2G12: The role of several N-glycosylation sites in 2G12 binding and neutralization was investigated on Envs of LN40 and B33 strains. Glycans at N295, N332, N386 and N392 were critical for 2G12 binding and neutralization. Substitutions in Envs which affect CD4 binding were also shown to have a strong effect on 2G12 neutralization. These residues were within and proximal to CD4bs but not involved in glycosylation. Increased avidity to CD4 did not correlate with 2G12 sensitivity, indicating that the determinants within CD4bs may act to reorient glycans on gp120. Duenas-Decamp2010 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: Unlike for b12, decreasing neutralization sensitivity during the course of infection was not observed for 2G12 in 15 patients studied. Changes in three amino acid residues (154, 178 and 389) were found to confer resistance to b12, but they did not increase resistance of LAI strain to 2G12 neutralization. Bunnik2010 (neutralization)
2G12: Fusion of CD4 with 2G12 scFv resulted in CD4-scFv2G12 reagent with neutralization potency improved by inclusion of an IgG Fc region and by linkage of CD4 to the heavy chain of 2G12. The resulting CD4hc-IgG12G12 was, like 2G12, expressed as a mixture of monomers and dimers. CD4hc-IgG12G12 dimers showed comparable neutralization potencies with 2G12, and CD4hc-IgG12G12 monomers showed enhanced neutralization potencies. Unlike 2G12, CD4hc-IgG12G12 had the ability to neutralize some clade C HIV-1 strains. West2010 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The specificities and structural analyses of 2G12 binding to Env are reviewed. This review also summarizes data on the evolution of HIV neutralizing Abs, principles of Env immunogen design to elicit broadly neutralizing Abs, and future critical areas of research for development of an Ab-based HIV vaccine. Hoxie2010 (vaccine antigen design, review)
2G12: Three 2G12 heavy chain mutants with multiple germ line amino acid substitutions in the VDJ region were created to investigate the mechanism of domain swapping in 2G12. There were qualitative structural differences between 2G12 mutants and 2G12 wild type, and the mutants failed to neutralize or to capture free virus. Structural analyses revealed that the domain-exchanged configuration of 2G12 was fostered by single or combined effects of 4 amino acid side chains that help stabilize the elbow region (H113). The proline at H113 was not required for the domain swapping capability of 2G12. 2G12-3H6 mutant, which had the whole Vh region exchanged with that of another Ab (3H6), lacked domain swapping capability, indicating that CDR3 and J region are not sufficient to promote Vh domain exchange. Gach2010 (neutralization, binding affinity, structure)
2G12: 58 mAbs, including 3 broadly neutralizing mAbs, were isolated from memory B cells of HIV-1 infected donors using an improved EBV immortalization method combined with a broad screening strategy. 2G12 neutralization activity was compared to the three new broadly neutralizing mAbs. 2G12 did not compete for binding to gp120 with any of the new mAbs. 2G12 neutralized 67% of Tier 1 and 23% of Tier 2 viruses, the neutralization of Tier 2 viruses being inferior to that of the new MAb HJ16. 2G12 rarely neutralized clade C isolates. Corti2010 (neutralization)
2G12: 433 Abs were cloned from HIV envelope-binding memory B cells from 6 patients with broadly neutralizing sera. The Abs had neutralizing activity directed against several epitopes on gp120 and the majority neutralized Tier 1 viruses. Tier-2 neutralization was observed only with mixtures of MAbs, but only at high concentrations. 2G12 was used as a control and it neutralized 4/5 Tier 1 and 4/5 Tier 2 viruses. Scheid2009 (neutralization)
2G12: Exogenous epitope tags were introduced in different parts of three variable regions, V1, V2 and V4, of two HIV isolates, SF162 and SF33. Almost all SF162 and SF33 tagged Envs were as susceptible to neutralization by 2G12 as the wild type, except V4-tagged Envs, which were significantly more resistant to neutralization by this Ab compared to wild type. However, V4-tagged Envs were recognized by 2G12. Wallace2009 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
2G12: This review discusses obstacles to elicitation of protective NAbs, recent data on viral epitopes vulnerable to broadly NAbs, qualitative and quantitative implications of NAb response for vaccine development, and possible future areas of investigation to improve understanding of Env structure and stimulation of appropriate B cell responses. Stamatatos2009 (review)
2G12: The structure and dynamic of the virion spike and the 2G12 epitope are discussed. Challenges to eliciting broadly neutralizing anticarbohydrate response, such as weak protein-carbohydrate interactions and small size of glycan patches for Ab binding, are reviewed. 2G12 domain swapping solution to these problems and the implication of the data for immunogen design are discussed. Schief2009 (antibody binding site, review)
2G12: TZM-bl and PBMC systems were compared to investigate the influence of target cell environment on HIV entry inhibition. The sensitivity of TZM-bl system was confirmed by inhibitory capacity of 2G12, 2F5 and b12. Virus entry increased on addition of polycation additives, but neither concentration nor type of polycation had a significant impact on the inhibitory activity of 2G12. 2G12 was shown to be significantly less active on TZM-bl cells, where it failed to inhibit 12 viruses, while it failed to inhibit 9 viruses in PBMC assay. HIV isolates were less sensitive to inhibition by 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10, with up to 100-fold lower sensitivity in the TZM-bl assay. Rusert2009 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: To examine the antigenicity of a defined Ab epitope on the functional envelope spike, a panel of chimeric viruses engrafted at different positions with the hemagglutinin (HA) epitope tag was constructed. The neutralization sensitivity of the all but three HA-tagged viruses to 2G12 was similar to the neutralization sensitivity of wild type virus to this Ab. The three viruses with HA-tag insertions in the V4 region were more resistant to 2G12 than the wild type virus. Pantophlet2009 (neutralization)
2G12: This review summarizes targets of autologous neutralizing Abs (AnAbs) in early and chronic infections. V1V2 is a frequent target of AnAbs, while V4 and V5 have marginal role and anti-V3 Abs do not contribute to autologous neutralization. In addition to variable regions, C3 is a neutralization target in subtype C viruses, and is thought to interact with V4. gp41 is thought to have marginal effect as a target of AnAbs, with only one study showing 4E10-resistant variants suggesting escape from AnAbs targeting this region. AnAb specificities and sequential development, and their role in preventing superinfection is also reviewed. The relatively high Ab titer required for prevention of superinfection and control of viremia, and the low inhibitory potential of b12, 2F5, 4E10 and 2G12 compared to antiretroviral drugs is discussed. Moore2009 (autologous responses, review)
2G12: This review describes obstacles that have been encountered in the development of an HIV-1 vaccine that induces broadly neutralizing Abs, and unusual features of existing broadly neutralizing Abs, such as 2G12. Importance of identification and characterization of new epitopes, and of B-cell stimulation, is discussed. Montefiori2009 (review)
2G12: An overview of the different expression strategies to over produce HIV neutralizing Abs, including 2G12, in plants. The attention is specially focused on expression strategies of Nef protein. Marusic2009 (review)
2G12: Env clones of 6 out of 12 viruses were shown to be highly sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 in PBMC assay but were not inhibited by 2G12 in TZM-bl assay. All 6 envelopes carried a mutation in the core epitope of 2G12. Viruses from patients receiving passive immunization with 2G12 were sensitive to 2G12 both in vivo and in PBMC assay. Upon emergence of 2G12 resistant viruses in vivo, the viruses were shown resistant to neutralization by 2G12 in PBMC assay. The study suggests that TZM-bl assay can fail to detect neutralizing activity of in vivo relevance but may be more prone to detect epitope mismatches. Causes of the observed differences between the PBMC and TZM-bl assays were due to virus producer cells and target cells, that could influence virus entry inhibition. Mann2009 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: NAb specificities of a panel of HIV sera were systematically analyzed by selective adsorption with native gp120 and specific mutant variants. The integrity and specificity of gp120 beads in adsorption assay were validated by their ability to adsorb binding activity of 2G12. gp120 point mutation D368R was used to screen the sera for CD4bs- Abs, and it was shown that this mutant could adsorb binding activity of 2G12. To test for presence of coreceptor binding region MAbs in sera, gp120 I420 mutant was used. This mutant was recognized by 2G12 at equal levels as the wild type, and it could adsorb binding activity of 2G12 in adsorption assay. 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)
2G12: 2G12 domain swapping 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)
2G12: The review discusses the implications of HIV-1 diversity on vaccine design and induction of neutralizing Abs, and possible novel approaches for rational vaccine design that can enhance coverage of HIV diversity. Patterns of within-clade and between-clade diversity in core epitopes of known potent neutralizing Abs, including 2G12, is displayed. Korber2009 (review)
2G12: 2G12 alone was not able to trigger complement-mediated lysis (CML) of 93BR020 and 92UG037 strains, however, it did so in combination with 4E10. Lysis experiments of viruses from three donors showed that 2G12 in combination with allotype-specific Abs Cw4 or Cw7 significantly increased CML. 2G12 in combination with Abs against HLA A1 resulted in significant reduction in CML. Hildgartner2009 (complement)
2G12: The effect of continuous 2G12 infusion on protection from infection and on viral load is reviewed. Haigwood2009 (immunoprophylaxis, review)
2G12: FcγR-mediated inhibition and neutralization of HIV by 2G12 and other MAbs is reviewed. The review also summarizes the role of ADCC and ADCVI Abs on HIV infection inhibition and neutralization. Forthal2009 (review)
2G12: A set of Env variants with deletions in V1/V2 were constructed. Replication competent Env variants with V1/V2 deletions were obtained using virus evolution of V1/V2 deleted variants. Most variants were found more sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 than the wild type, indicating that deletion of V1/V2 increases 2G12 epitope accessibility. Bontjer2009 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
2G12: This review summarizes novel approaches to mapping broad neutralizing activities in sera and novel technologies for targeted MAb retrieval. Binley2009 (assay or method development, review)
2G12: 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 retained strong reactivity with 2G12. Memory B cells were selected that bound to RSC3 and full IgG mAbs were expressed. Binding profiles of the three newly detected mAbs (VRC1, VRC2 and VRC3) were compared to binding profile of 2G12. Wu2010 (binding affinity)
2G12: Glycosylation patterns of HIV-1 were altered using different glycosidase inhibitors or a mutant cell line. Recombinant production of gp120 in the presence of kifunensine resulted in increased neutralization by 2G12, while swainsonine and NB-DNJ treatment resulted in neutralization similar to the wild type. Doores2010 (glycosylation, neutralization)
2G12: In 25% of cases, the broad and potent neutralizing activity of sera from elite neutralizers displayed critical correlation to the N-linked glycosylation at position 332 of HIV-1. Although this N-linked glycan is important for formation of the 2G12 epitope, none of the donor sera inhibited 2G12 binding to gp120, indicating presence of NAbs distinct of 2G12. Unlike PG9 and PG16, 2G12 neutralized kifunensine-treated pseudoviruses with similar potency as wild type pseudoviruses. Walker2010 (glycosylation, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Ab gene divergence analyses found that 2G12 Ab was significantly more divergent from the closest germline Abs than were hmAbs against other viruses. Germline-like 2G12 was constructed in a scFv format. It was shown that germline-like 2G12 did not bind to recombinant gp140 although the corresponding mature 2G12 showed binding. Xiao2009 (binding affinity, antibody sequence)
2G12: Patient sera from 13 HIV controllers and 75 chronic viremic patients were tested for the ability to block binding of 2G12 to Env JRFL gp140 oligomers. There was no difference observed between the controllers and chronic viremic patients. The NAb response was significantly lower in controllers, while ADCC was detected in all controllers but in only 40% of viremic patients. Lambotte2009 (elite controllers, neutralization)
2G12: One functional Env clone from each of 10 HIV-1 infected seroconverting individuals from India were analyzed for their sensitivity to MAbs and plasma pools of subtypes B, C and D. All 10 Envs were resistant to 2G12, and the resistance was associated with the absence of a PNLG at position 295. HIVIG neutralized all 10 Envs, and the Envs were most sensitive to neutralization by subtype C pool, followed by subtype D and B pools, respectively. Amino acid signature patterns that associated with neutralization clusters were found. Signature patterns included PNLG at positions 295, 392 and 448, which participate in the 2G12 epitope. Kulkarni2009 (glycosylation, neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: Combinations of loop alternations, filling hydrophobic pockets (F-mutations) and introduction of inter-domain cysteine pairs (D-mutations) were used to construct four immunogens with stabilized gp120 core. Modified truncations of the V1V2 and the V3 loop had no impact on 2G12 binding. However, introduction of stabilizing F and D mutations in one case slightly reduced 2G12 affinity and in other two cases slightly increased it. Dey2009 (binding affinity)
2G12: A review about the in vivo efficacy of 2G12 and other MAbs against HIV-1, and about inhibition of HIV-1 infection by Ab fragments Fab, scFv and engineered human Ab variable domains or "domain antibodies" (dAbs). Chen2009b (neutralization, immunotherapy, review)
2G12: Env derivatives from R3A TA1 virus with eliminated V1 and V2 regions, truncated V3, and deleted cleavage, fusion, and interhelical domains were able to bind 2G12. A membrane anchored variant of this outer domain glycoprotein was also shown to bind to 2G12. Truncations of the β20-β21 hairpin increased reactivity with 2G12. Replacement of the central 20 amino acids of the V3 loop with a basic hexapeptide further significantly increased binding to 2G12. Wu2009a (binding affinity)
2G12: During purification of 2G12 from mammalian cells, two forms of 2G12 were discovered, a monomeric and a dimeric form. The 2G12 dimer had an average increased potency of 82-fold compared to the monomer and was able to neutralize three out of 20 strains not neutralized by the monomer. Clade C strains were resistant to neutralization by both 2G12 dimer and monomer. A dimeric form of 2G12 was constructed that was more potent in neutralization of 2G12-sensitive strains than the monomeric form. There was no significant difference observed in binding of 2G12 dimers and monomers to gp120. West2009 (neutralization, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: 2G12 neutralization breadth and potency was compared to that of two broadly neutralizing Abs PG9 and PG16 in a panel of 162 multi-clade viruses. 2G12 exhibited lower neutralization potency than PG9 and PG16. 2G12 bound with high affinity to both monomeric gp120 and trimeric Env. Binding of 2G12 to Endo H and mock treated gp120 was determined. Walker2009a (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, binding affinity)
2G12: NL4.3 virus was cultured with cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) and CADA-resistant virus was selected. 2G12 MAb showed a slightly higher neutralizing potency against the CADA-resistant virus compared to wildtype. The mutations in CADA-resistant virus are suggested to stabilize the conformation of gp120 and reduce glycosylation. Vermeire2009 (neutralization)
2G12: Glyco-engineered tobacco plants were used for efficient expression of recombinant 2G12 with quantitative β1,4-galactosylation (AA structure). Antigen binding capacity of 2G12 glycoforms compared to CHO-derived 2G12 was 115-140%. Neutralization activity of fully galactosylated 2G12 was more than 3 times higher than that of other plant-derived glycoforms and CHO-derived 2G12. Strasser2009 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: An analytical selection algorithm and a reduced virus screening panel were created for assessment of serum neutralizing activity. It is suggested that selection of pseudoviruses for neutralization assays should focus on the overall resistance profile of the pseudovirus and against MAbs b12, 4E10, 2F5 and 2G12. Neutralization profiles of all viruses used for screenings were determined for 2G12. Simek2009 (neutralization)
2G12: Substantial increase in neutralization potency (58-fold) of 2G12 was observed in cells expressing FcγRI against HIV 6535.3 virus strain while there was no effect on the neutralization potency of this Ab against QH0692 strain. With virus SC422661.8, FcγRIIa and FcγRIIb impaired the neutralizing activity of 2G12, suggesting possible infection enhancement. Perez2009 (enhancing activity, neutralization)
2G12: Aqueous two-phase partition system (ATPS) was used to successfully separate 2G12 from unclarified tobacco extract with a yield of 85%. ATPS was successfully combined with affinity chromatography and yielded Ab was stable without any major contaminating proteins or degraded Ab variants. Platis2009a (assay or method development)
2G12: Δ49-12a, a mutant virus derived from an in-vitro passaged virus with four residues removed from the V3 stem, was shown to be completely resistant to CCR5 inhibitors but was 3-fold more sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 compared to the parental R3A virus. TA1, a mutant with a 15 amino acid deletion of the distal half of V3, was resistant to neutralization by 2G12. Nolan2009 (neutralization)
2G12: Swarm analysis of viruses from one patient resulted in isolation of several different clones with different neutralization sensitivities against four HIV-1 positive sera. None of the clones were sensitive to neutralization by 2G12. ORourke2009 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: Binding of 2G12 to gp120 was not inhibited by YZ23, an Ab derived from mice immunized with eletcrophilic analogs of gp120 (E-gp120), indicating no overlap of these MAb epitopes. Nishiyama2009
2G12: Binding of 2G12 to various lipid antigens was studied. 2G12 did not bind to any lipids. Matyas2009
2G12: There was no association between 2G12 Abs and anticardiolipin in serum samples from slow progressors. Martinez2009 (autoantibody or autoimmunity)
2G12: By manipulation of the glycosylation machinery of S. cerevisiae a heavily glycosylated yeast protein, Pst1, was identified, that presents closely arrayed N-glycans. Pst1 produced in TM yeast bound 2G12 with high affinity and was able to inhibit 2G12 binding to gp120 more efficiently than a heterologous gp120 from the same subtype. Pst1 was also able to inhibit 2G12 neutralization of HxB and SF162 Env. Luallen2009 (antibody binding site, glycosylation, neutralization, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: Subtype A gp140 SOSIP trimers bound to 2G12. Sera from rabbits immunized with SOSIP gp140 and gp120 were unable to capture pseudovirions of the homologous virus by 2G12. 2G12 was unable to bind to the 295 N/A mutant of the virus. Kang2009
2G12: Five rhesus macaques were intravenously treated with 40mg/kg 2G12, which resulted in a high 2G12 serum concentration, and challenged with SHIV SF162P3. Three animals were protected against infection. One animal showed delayed and lower peak viremia compared to controls. Sequence analysis of one of the infected animals showed presence of T388A mutation disrupting the N-glycosylation consistent with escape. Thus, 2G12 can offer protection at relatively low titers, where a titer of 1:1 was sufficient to protect 60% of animals against infection. Vaginal concentrations of 2G12 and b12 were similar when compared in 3 animals, and thus unlikely to contribute to protection differences between the two MAbs. Hessell2009 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape, immunotherapy, rate of progression)
2G12: Ten new non-neutralizing, cross-reactive mAbs were found in immunized mice. 2G12 only reacted with a subset of different Env subtypes tested. 2G12 also reacted with cells expressing A1.con, B.con, B_17779 and B_MN Envs. None of the new mAbs could bind free virus particles while 2G12 did. Binding of 2G12 to B_JRFL oligomer was not blocked by any of the newly detected mAbs. Gao2009 (variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: The heavy and light chains of 2G12 were expressed in transgenic tobacco plants. The accumulation of the Ab chains was increased 2-3-fold by elastin-like peptide (ELP) fusion in both leaves and seeds of the plant. The quality of leaf-derived Abs was comparable to 2G12 generated in CHO cells, and the presence of ELP did not affect N-glycan processing nor intracellular trafficking. Plant-derived 2G12 lacking ELP was more efficient in neutralizing HIV-1 than CHO-2G12, but the fusion of ELP to either of the Ab chains significantly reduced the neutralization efficacy. Floss2009 (neutralization, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: An international collaboration (NeutNet) was organized to compare the performance of a wide variety of HIV-1 neutralization assays performed in different laboratories. Four neutralizing agents were evaluated: 4E10, 447-52D, sCD4 and TriMab (equal mixture of 2F5, 2G12 and 4E10). For TriMab, the mean IC50 values were always lower in the pseudovirus assays than in virus infectivity assays. In general, there were clear differences in assay sensitivities that were dependent on both the neutralizing agent and the virus. No single assay was capable of detecting the entire spectrum of neutralizing activities. Fenyo2009 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: Gene encoding gp140 was fused with three trimerization motifs, T4F, GCN and ATC. gp140, gp140(-)(with mutations in the furin-cleavage site), gp140(-)T4F and gp140(-)GCN bound 2G12 as well, or better than, gp120. gp140(-)ATC bound 2G12 less strongly than gp120. Du2009 (binding affinity)
2G12: Four groups of Abs were detected in a CRF02_AG infected patient directed against mimotopes of MPER, V3, C1 and LLP2. Out of four pseudoviruses from 4 different time points of infection, only one showed moderate susceptibility to 2G12. Dieltjens2009 (neutralization)
2G12: A phylogenetic analysis of gp120 evolution was performed in patients with different patterns of disease progression. In the LNTP patient group, and in 2 NPs, many N-linked glycosylation sites were shown to be under positive selection and exposed on the surface, indicating that Abs binding close to or to 2G12 binding site exert selective pressure on the viral surface in some patients. Canducci2009 (glycosylation, rate of progression)
2G12: Neutralization profiles of cloned Envs derived from recent heterosexual infections by subtypes A, C, D, and A/D from Kenya were determined. The transmitted env variants were generally resistant to neutralization by 2G12, as only 4/31 variants were neutralized by this Ab. These were also the only variants that maintained all five PNGS within the 2G12 epitope. Blish2009 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: This report investigated whether mannose removal alters gp120 immunogenicity in mice. Approximately 55 mannose residues were removed from gp120 by mannosidase digestion creating D-gp120 for immunization. 2G12 was unable to bind to D-gp120, indicating that 2G12 epitope was eliminated and that the mannosidase digestion was functional. Banerjee2009 (glycosylation, binding affinity)
2G12: HIV-1 variants derived from 5 patients at different timepoints during chronic infection were analysed for their sensitivity to neutralization by b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10. In four of the patients, almost all variants from all time points were resistant to neutralization by 2G12. In two of these patients, resistance to neutralization coincided with the absence of N-linked glycans at position 339 at all time points. In one patient, resistance to neutralization by 2G12 correlated with absence of N-linked glycans at positions 295, 332 and/or 339, and in the second patient, resistance correlated with absence of glycans at positions 295, 339, 386, and/or 339. In the fifth patient, early viruses were sensitive to neutralization by 2G12, but late variants were resistant, which coincided with the loss of N-linked glycans at either 386 or 392 positions. Bunnik2009 (glycosylation, neutralization, escape)
2G12: 2G12 neutralized infection of PBLs with various HIV-1 strains with high potency. However, 2G12 did not inhibit transcytosis of cell-free or cell-associated virus across a monolayer of epithelial cells. A mixture of 13 MAbs directed to well-defined epitopes of the HIV-1 envelope, including 2G12, did not inhibit HIV-1 transcytosis, indicating that envelope epitopes involved in neutralization are not involved in mediating HIV-1 transcytosis. When the mixture of 13 MAbs and HIV-1 was incubated with polyclonal anti-human γ chain, the transcytosis was partially inhibited, indicating that agglutination of viral particles at the apical surface of cells may be critical for HIV transcytosis inhibition by HIV-specific Abs. Chomont2008 (neutralization)
2G12: 5 loop structures surrounding the CD4 binding site in the gp120 liganded conformation were identified that may protect gp120 from Abs. Loops A, B, C and E were located in the C2, C3, C4 and C5 regions respectively, and loop D was situated in the V5 region. Binding of 2G12 to gp120 was unaffected by loop deletions, as this Ab bound equally to HIV-1 IIIB wild type and its loop B deletion mutant, and to HIV-1 89.6 wild type and its loop C deletion mutant. Berkower2008 (binding affinity)
2G12: A reference panel of recently transmitted Tier 2 HIV-1 subtype B envelope viruses was developed representing a broad spectrum of genetic diversity and neutralization sensitivity. The panel includes viruses derived from male-to-male, female-to-male, and male-to-female sexual transmissions, and CCR5 as well as CXCR4 using viruses. The envelopes displayed varying degrees of neutralization sensitivity to 2G12, with 11 of 19 envelopes sensitive to neutralization by this Ab. Schweighardt2007 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: Pre-treatment of gp120 with 2G12 strongly inhibited induction of IL-10, indicating that interaction between gp120 and a mannose C-type lectin receptor is a critical trigger for IL-10 induction. Shan2007
2G12: Modeling of protein-protein interaction based on the gp120 crystal structure, X-ray crystal structure of 2G12 and its complexes with glycans, suggested that the glycans attached to N295 and N302 from the V3 loop are the two most likely involved in the conformational epitope of 2G12. Sirois2007 (review, structure)
2G12: A chimeric protein entry inhibitor, L5, was designed consisting of an allosteric peptide inhibitor 12p1 and a carbohydrate-binding protein cyanovirin (CNV) connected via a flexible linker. The L5 chimera inhibited 2G12-gp120 interaction, as did CNV alone, indicating that the chimera has the high affinity binding property of the CNV molecule. McFadden2007
2G12: This review summarizes data on possible vaccine targets for elicitation of neutralizing Abs and discusses whether it is more practical to design a clade-specific than a clade-generic HIV-1 vaccine. Development of a neutralizing Ab response in HIV-1 infected individuals is reviewed, including data that show no apparent division of different HIV-1 subtypes into clade-related neutralization groups. Also, a summary of the neutralizing activity of MAb 2G12 in different HIV-1 clades is provided. McKnight2007 (variant cross-reactivity, review)
2G12: HIV-1 passaged in the presence of chloroquine was observed to have lost two glycosylation sites important for 2G12 binding, at positions 332 and 397 in the gp120 region, indicating that the drug can alter the immunogenic properties of gp120. Naarding2007
2G12: This review provides information on the HIV-1 glycoprotein properties that make it challenging to target with neutralizing Abs. 2G12 structure 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, such as 2G12, are discussed. In addition, approaches to target cellular molecules, such as CD4, CCR5, CXCR4, and MHC molecules, with therapeutic Abs are reviewed. Phogat2007 (review)
2G12: This review summarizes current knowledge on the various functional properties of antibodies in HIV-1 infection, including 2G12 MAb, in vivo and in vitro activity of neutralizing Abs, the importance and downfalls of non-neutralizing Abs and antibodies that mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and the complement system, and summarizes data on areas that need future investigation on Ab-mediated immune control. Huber2007 (review)
2G12: A new high throughput method was developed for neutralization analyses of HIV-1 env genes by adding cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate enhancer/promoter to the 5' end of the HIV-1 rev/env gene PCR products. The PCR method eliminates cloning, transformation, and plasmid DNA preparation steps in the generation of HIV-1 pseudovirions and allows for sufficient amounts of pseudovirions to be obtained for a large number of neutralization assays. Pseudovirions generated with the PCR method showed similar sensitivity to 2G12 Ab, indicating that the neutralization properties are not altered by the new method. Kirchherr2007 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: 2G12 structure, binding, neutralization, and strategies that can be used for vaccine antigen design to elicit 2G12-like Abs, are reviewed in detail. Lin2007 (vaccine antigen design, review, structure)
2G12: This review summarizes 2G12Ab epitope, properties and neutralization activity. 2G12 use in passive immunization studies in primates and possible mechanisms explaining protection against infection are discussed. Kramer2007 (immunotherapy, review)
2G12: gp120 proteins were developed with double mutation T257S+S375W, which alters the cavity at the epicenter of the CD4 binding region, and used to immunize rabbits. The ability of rabbit sera to affect binding of CD4 to unmodified gp120 proteins was tested. CD4 binding to gp120 was unaffected by 2G12. Dey2007a (antibody binding site)
2G12: The various effects that neutralizing and non-neutralizing anti-envelope Abs have on HIV infection are reviewed, such as Ab-mediated complement activation and Fc-receptor mediated activities, that both can, through various mechanisms, increase and decrease the infectivity of the virus. The importance of these mechanisms in vaccine design is discussed. The unusual features of the 2G12 MAb, and its neutralization capacities, are described. Willey2008 (neutralization, review)
2G12: Current insights into CTLs and NAbs, and their possible protective mechanisms against establishment of persistent HIV/SIV infection are discussed. Pre- and post-infection sterile and non-sterile protection of NAbs against viral challenge, and potential role of NAbs in antibody-mediated antigen presentation in modification of cellular immunity, are reviewed. Use of 2G12 in immunization experiments and its in vivo anti-viral activity in suppression of viral rebound in HIV-1 infected humans undergoing structured treatment interruptions are described. Yamamoto2008 (immunotherapy, supervised treatment interruptions (STI), review)
2G12: A yeast strain was produced (TM) with a deletion of genes encoding two key carbohydrate processing enzymes, Och1 and Mnn1, that resulted in efficient recognition of the TM yeast by 2G12 MAb. Four heavily glycosylated yeast proteins were isolated that supported 2G12 binding. Removal of high-mannose-type N-linked carbohydrates from the proteins resulted in loss of 2G12 recognition. Sera from rabbits immunized with TM yeast cells contained Abs that could cross-react with HIV-1 gp120 and that recognized a variety of clade B, C and SIV gp120 proteins. Like 2G12, binding of these Abs to Env proteins was abrogated by removal of N-linked high mannose glycans. The elicited Abs had 50-100-fold lower gp120 binding activity than 2G12, and the antiserum recognized a larger variety of mannose-dependent epitopes. There was no observed neutralizing activity of the sera. The results indicate that immunizations with TM yeast can elicit 2G12-like Abs. Luallen2008 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: A mathematical model was developed and used to derive transmitted or founder Env sequences from individuals with acute HIV-1 subtype B infection. All of the transmitted or early founder Envs were sensitive to neutralization by 2G12. Keele2008 (neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: This review summarizes the obstacles that stand in the way of making a successful preventive HIV-1 vaccine, such as masked or transiently expressed Ab epitopes, polyclonal B-cell class switching, and inefficient, late, and not sufficiently robust mucosal IgA and IgG responses. Possible reasons why HIV-1 envelope constructs expressing 2G12 epitope fail to induce broadly neutralizing Abs are discussed. Haynes2008 (vaccine antigen design, review)
2G12: Transmission of HIV-1 by immature and mature DCs to CD4+ T lymphocytes was significantly higher for CXCR4- than for CCR5-tropic strains. In addition, preneutralization of X4 virus with 2G12 prior to capture efficiently blocked transmission to 36%, while transmission of R5 was blocked to 63%, indicating that 2G12 treatment results in more efficient transfer of X4 than of R5 HIV-1. vanMontfort2008 (co-receptor, neutralization, dendritic cells)
2G12: 2G12 did not neutralize a clade C SHIV strain in the TZM-bl based assay. Zhang2008 (neutralization)
2G12: Sera from both gp120 DNA prime-protein boost immunized rabbits and from protein-only immunized rabbits did not compete for binding to 2G12, indicating no elicitation of 2G12-like Abs by either of the immunization regimens. Vaine2008 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: An R5 HIV variant, in contrast to its parental virus, was shown to infect T-cell lines expressing low levels of cell surface CCR5 and to infect cells in the absence of CD4. The variant was neutralized less efficiently by 2G12 than the parental virus, indicating conformational changes in gp120. These properties of the mutant virus were determined by alternations in gp41. Taylor2008 (co-receptor, neutralization)
2G12: In order to assess whether small molecule CCR5 inhibitor resistant viruses were more sensitive to neutralization by NAbs, two escape mutant viruses, CC101.19 and D1/85.16, were tested for their sensitivity to neutralization by 2G12, compared to the sensitivity of CC1/85 parental isolate and the CCcon.19 control isolate. The CC101.19 escape mutant has 4 sequence changes in V3 while the D1/85.16 has no sequence changes in V3 and relies on other sequence changes for its resistance. D1/85.16, but not CC101.19 escape variant, was markedly more sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 (approx. 50-fold). As 2G12 had no significantly higher affinity for gp120 from D1/85.16, the increased sensitivity of this virus is most likely due to alternation in the conformation or accessibility of the 2G12 epitope on its Env trimer. Overall, the study suggests that CCR5 inhibitor-resistant viruses are likely to be somewhat more sensitive to neutralization than their parental viruses. Pugach2008 (co-receptor, neutralization, escape, binding affinity)
2G12: The sensitivity of R5 envelopes derived from several patients and several tissue sites, including brain tissue, lymph nodes, blood, and semen, was tested against a range of inhibitors and Abs targeting CD4, CCR5, and various sites on the HIV envelope. All but one envelopes from brain tissue were macrophage-tropic while none of the envelopes from the lymph nodes were macrophage-tropic. Macrophage-tropic envelopes were also less frequent in blood and semen. There was a clear variation in sensitivity to 2G12, where most envelopes were sensitive, while some were resistant to neutralization by this Ab. There was a significant correlation between increased envelope macrophage-tropism and decreased 2G12 sensitivity. It is suggested that the macrophage-tropic brain variants are less protected by glycosylation due to absence of Abs in the brain, thus lacking N-glycosylation sites critical for 2G12 neutralization. Three of nine brain envelopes were resistant to 2G12, while only one of nine lymph node envelopes were resistant to 2G12. Peters2008a (antibody binding site, neutralization)
2G12: To examine sequence and conformational differences between subtypes B and C, several experiments were performed with 11 MAbs regarding binding and neutralization. Both binding and neutralization studies revealed that the 11 MAbs could be divided in three different groups, and that the most differences between the subtypes were located in the stem and turn regions of V3. 2G12 was used as control in neutralization assays, and was able to neutralize JR-FL and SF162 isolates, as well as a chimeric SF162 variant with a JR-FL-like V3 sequence. Patel2008 (neutralization)
2G12: Contemporaneous biological clones of HIV-1 were isolated from plasma of chronically infected patients and tested for their functional properties. The clones showed striking functional diversity both within and among patients, including differences in infectivity and sensitivity to inhibition by 2G12. There was no correlation between clonal virus infectivity and sensitivity to 2G12 inhibition, indicating that these properties are dissociable. The sensitivity to 2G12 inhibition was, however, a property shared by viruses from a given patient, suggesting that the genetic determinants that define this sensitivity may lie in regions that are not necessarily subject to extensive diversity. Nora2008 (neutralization)
2G12: A peptide 2G12.1, that binds to 2G12, was derived by screening of phage-displayed peptide libraries with 2G12. Comparison of the crystal structure of the Fab 2G12 bound to 2G12.1 peptide, and 2G12 bound to carbohydrate, revealed that 2G12 binding to peptide and carbohydrate occurs through different Ab interactions. The 2G12.1 peptide occupied a site different from, but adjacent to, the primary carbohydrate binding site on 2G12. Thus, this does not support structural mimicry of the peptide to the native carbohydrate epitope on gp120. In addition, the 2G12.1 peptide was not an immunogenic mimic of the 2G12 epitope either, since the sera from mice immunized with the peptide did not bind gp120. Menendez2008 (mimics, structure)
2G12: Maize was evaluated as a potential inexpensive large-scale production system for therapeutic antibodies against HIV. 2G12 was expressed in maize endosperm. In vitro cell assays demonstrated that the HIV-neutralizing properties of the maize-produced 2G12 MAb were equivalent to those of Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived MAb 2G12. Rademacher2008
2G12: Neutralization susceptibility of CRF01_AE Env-recombinant viruses, derived from blood samples of Thai HIV-1 infected patients in 2006, was tested to 2G12. Most of the 35 viruses tested replicated efficiently in the presence of 2G12, in spite of highly conserved PNLG sites recognized by this Ab, indicating that CRF01_AE is not susceptible to neutralization by 2G12. These results suggest that the protein structure , including conformation of the CD4 binding domain, may somehow be different between CRF01_AE and subtype B Env gp120. Utachee2009 (neutralization)
2G12: Concentrations of neutralizing Abs in long-term non-progressors (LNTPs) were significantly higher than the concentrations in asymptomatic subjects and subjects with AIDS, with no statistically significant difference between the two latter groups. Amino acid substitutions in the 2G12 epitope were found in both asymptomatic subjects and subjects with AIDS, while no such mutations were found among LNTPs. Eight different mutations were found at five N-glycosylation linked sites: 295V/T/D/K, 297I, 332E. 334N, and 386D. The mutation rates of the conserved 2G12 neutralization epitopes were significantly different among LNTPs, asymptomatic patients, and patients with AIDS. Wang2008 (escape, rate of progression)
2G12: Synergy of 2F5 with MAbs 2G12, D5, and peptide C34 was examined. 2G12 exhibited synergy in inhibition of HIV-1 89.6 with MAb 2F5. 2G12 was not as synergistic when combined with D5 as 2F5 was. Hrin2008 (antibody interactions)
2G12: A series of peptide conjugates were constructed via click reaction of both aryl and alkyl acetylenes with an internally incorporated azidoproline 6 derived from parent peptide RINNIPWSEAMM. Many of these conjugates exhibited increase in both affinity for gp120 and inhibition potencies at both the CD4 and coreceptor binding sites. None of the high affinity peptides inhibited the interactions of YU2 gp120 with 2G12 Ab. The aromatic, hydrophobic, and steric features in the residue 6 side-chain were found important for the increased affinity and inhibition of the high-affinity peptides. Gopi2008
2G12: Three constructs of the outer domain (OD) of gp120 of subtype C, fused with Fc, were generated for immunization of mice: OD(DL3)-Fc (has 29 residues from the center of the V3 loop removed), OD(2F5)-Fc (has the same deletion reconstructed to contain the sequence of 2F5 epitope), and the parental OD-Fc molecule. All OD variants contained substitutions at residues 295 and 394 that reintroduced the 2G12 epitope into the used sequence. All three OD-variants reacted with 2G12, indicating that the isolated outer domain is conformationally immobile. Despite the presence of the 2G12 epitope, none of the sera from mice immunized with the three OD-constructs showed 2G12-like reactivity. Chen2008a (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: The goal of the study was to measure NAb responses in patients infected with HIV-1 prevalent subtypes in China. g160 genes from plasma samples were used to establish a pseudovirus-based neutralization assay. 2G12 neutralized 33% of subtype B clones but not subtype BC and AE clones. Chong2008 (neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: To investigate B-cell responses immediately following HIV-1 transmission, Env-specific Ab responses to autologous and consensus Envs in plasma donors were determined. Broadly neutralizing Abs with specificity similar to 2G12 did not appear during the first 40 days after plasma virus detection. Tomaras2008 (acute/early infection)
2G12: The neutralization profile of early R5, intermediate R5X4, and late X4 viruses from a rhesus macaque infected with SHIV-SF162P3N was assessed. 2G12 neutralized all three viruses with similar low potency. Tasca2008 (co-receptor, neutralization)
C2G12: Neutralization of HIV-1 IIIB LAV isolate by 2G12 was within the same range as the neutralization of the virus by natural antibodies from human sera against the gal(α1,3)gal disaccaride linked to CD4 gp120-binding peptides, indicating that the activity of natural antibodies can be re-directed to neutralize HIV-1. Perdomo2008 (neutralization)
2G12: A new purification method was developed using a high affinity peptide mimicking CD4 as a ligand in affinity chromatography. This allowed the separation in one step of HIV envelope monomer from cell supernatant and capture of pre-purified trimer. Binding of 2G12 to gp120SF162 purified by the miniCD4 affinity chromatography and a multi-step method was comparable, suggesting that the miniCD4 allows the separation of HIV-1 envelope with intact 2G12 epitope. gp140DF162ΔV2 was purified by the miniCD4 method to assess its ability to capture gp140 trimers. Binding of 2G12 to gp140DF162ΔV2 purified by the miniCD4 affinity chromatography and a multi-step method was comparable, suggesting that the SF162 trimer antigenicity was preserved. Martin2008 (assay or method development, binding affinity)
2G12: A divalent Man9ClcNAc2 glycopeptide, that binds to 2G12, was covalently coupled to the OMPC carrier and used as immunogen to test its efficacy to induce 2G12-like neutralizing Ab response. High levels of carbohydrate-specific Ab were induced in both guinea pigs and rhesus macaques, but these Ab showed poor recognition of recombinant gp160 and failed to neutralize a panel of subtype B isolates. Sera from HIV-1 positive individuals was tested for binding to the synthetic antigen but failed to recognize the mimetics, although two of the patients showed presence of 2G12-like Abs. These results suggest that presentation of Man9ClcNAc2 on the constrained cyclic scaffold is insufficient to induce a polyclonal response that recognizes native 2G12 epitope. Joyce2008 (mimotopes, neutralization, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: MAb 2G12 binds to gp120 and is essentially inactive after CD4 engagement, with a neutralization half-life of less than 1 minute. Thus, the binding site for 2G12 on gp120 is unavailable once the CD4-induced conformational changes in gp120 have occurred. Gustchina2008 (antibody binding site, neutralization, kinetics)
2G12: Variable domains of three heavy chain Abs, the VHH, were characterized. The Abs were isolated from llamas, who produce immunoglobulins devoid of light chains, immunized with HIV-1 CRF07_BC, to gp120. It was hypothesized that the small size of the VHH, in combination with their protruding CDR3 loops, and their preference for cleft recognition and binding into active sites, may allow for recognition of conserved motifs on gp120 that are occluded from conventional Abs. 2G12 provided some inhibition of binding of the three neutralizing VHH Abs to gp120, suggesting that 2G12 imposes steric hinderance to binding of the VHH Abs to gp120. Forsman2008 (antibody interactions)
2G12: 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. In competitive virus capture assays on 2G12 coated plates, some of the subtype B plasmas, and two of the subtype C plasmas, inhibited virus capture. Mutant versions of JR-FL trimers were designed to selectively eliminate neutralization epitopes, but the plasma titers against the 2G12-eliminated mutant were similar to those against the wildtype. This indicated that very few, if any, 2G12-like Abs were present in the plasmas, and that a fraction of patients developed Abs that overlap the 2G12 epitope but do not neutralize the virus. Binley2008 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: 32 human HIV-1 positive sera neutralized most viruses from clades A, B, and C. Two of the sera stood out as particularly potent and broadly reactive. Two CD4-binding site defective mutant Env proteins were generated to evaluate whether Abs to the CD4-binding site are involved in the neutralizing activity of the two sera. The integrity of the wildtype and mutant proteins was tested for their reactivity to 2G12. Li2007a (binding affinity)
2G12: A recombinant gp120-Fc bound to 2G12, indicating it was conformationally intact. 2G12 binding to gp120 was inhibited by the soluble recombinant extracellular domain (ECD) of DC-SIGN in a dose-dependent fashion, but 2G12 did not inhibit binding of gp120 to DC-SIGN. Many single, double, and triple N-glycan mutations in the 2G12 epitope did not affect binding of gp120 to DC-SIGN, however, some of the N-glycan sites within the 2G12 epitope were shown to be optimally positioned to significantly contribute to DC-SIGN binding. Thus, it is suggested that DC-SIGN can bind to a flexible combination of N-glycans on gp120, both within and outside of the 2G12 epitope, but that its optimal binding site overlaps with specific N-glycans within the 2G12 epitope. Hong2007 (binding affinity)
2G12: HIV-1 env clones resistant to cyanovirin (CV-N), a carbohydrate binding agent, showed amino acid changes that resulted in deglycosylation of high-mannose type residues in the C2-C4 region of gp120. Compared to their parental virus HIV-1 IIIB, these CV-N resistant viruses were also completely resistant to 2G12, as they lost one or more 2G12 binding glycans on gp120. Hu2007 (neutralization, escape)
2G12: Chemical inhibition of mammalian glycoprotein synthesis with the plant alkaloid kifunensine resulted in an abundance of oligomannose-type glycans on the cell surface, and binding of 2G12 to previously non-antigenic self proteins and cells. Expression of gp120 in the presence of kifunensine also increased both binding and valency of gp120 to 2G12. Scanlan2007 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: The ability of 2G12 to neutralize recently transmitted viruses was examined in four homosexual and two parenteral transmission couples. The vast majority of recently transmitted viruses from homosexual recipients were resistant to neutralization by 2G12, although viruses isolated later in the course of infection showed increased sensitivity to 2G12 in one of the patients. In the parenteral transmission, one of the recipients had early viruses resistant to 2G12 neutralization, and one had viruses somewhat sensitive to 2G12 neutralization. The neutralization sensitivity patterns of recipient viruses to 2G12 did not correlate to the neutralization sensitivity patterns of their donors in the homosexual couples, while the HIV-1 variants from the one of the two parenteral pairs were similarly resistant to neutralization by 2G12. 12% of 2G12 resistant viruses had all five PNGS of the 2G12 epitope. 88.5% of the 2G12 resistant viruses lacked at least one of the five PNGS, and viruses isolated later in infection that had become sensitive to 2G12 neutralization had restored the 2G12 epitope. Quakkelaar2007a (neutralization, acute/early infection, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: Three MAbs, 2G12, 4E10 and 2F5, were administered to ten HIV-1 infected individuals treated with ART during acute and early infection, in order to prevent viral rebound after interruption of ART. MAb infusions were well tolerated with essentially no toxicity. Viral rebound was not prevented, but was significantly delayed in 8/10 patients. 2G12 activity was dominant among the MAbs used. Baseline susceptibility to 2G12 was inversely correlated with the time to viral rebound. Escape from 2G12 was associated with viral rebound. Long-term suppression of viremia was achieved in 3/10 patients. Mehandru2007 (escape, immunotherapy, supervised treatment interruptions (STI))
2G12: MBL, a lectin present in human serum that recognizes mannose-rich N-glycans, was shown to mediate increased HIV-1 infectivity, and to reduce 2G12-mediated neutralization of HIV-1. Marzi2007 (neutralization)
2G12: The study compared Ab neutralization against the JR-FL primary isolate and trimer binding affinities judged by native PAGE. There was direct quantitative relationship between monovalent Fab-trimer binding and neutralization, implying that neutralization begins as each trimer is occupied by one Ab. In BN-PAGE, neutralizing Fabs, 2G12 in particular, and sCD4 were able to shift JR-FL trimers. In contrast, most non-neutralizing Fabs bound to monomer, but their epitopes were conformationally occluded on trimers, confirming the exclusive relationship of trimer binding and neutralization. For 2G12, there was a ladder of partially and fully liganded trimers Crooks2008 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Five amino acids in the gp41 N-terminal region that promote gp140 trimerization (I535, Q543, S553, K567 and R588) were considered. Their influence on the function and antigenic properties of JR-FL Env expressed on the surfaces of pseudoviruses and Env-transfected cells was studied. Various non-neutralizing antibodies bind less strongly to the Env mutant, but neutralizing antibody binding is unaffected. There was no difference in 2G12 binding to wild type and mutant JR-FL, and 2G12 inhibited infection of the two pseudoviruses with comparable potencies. Dey2008 (binding affinity)
2G12: The study explores how the V1 loop of Env influences the neutralization susceptibilities of heterologous viruses to antibodies elicited by the SF162gp140 immunogen. All viruses expressing the WT Envs were susceptible to neutralization by 2G12. Replacement of the V1 loops by that of SF162 did not alter the neutralization susceptibilities of the viruses. Ching2008 (neutralization)
2G12: Molecular mechanism of neutralization by MPER antibodies, 2F5 and 4E10, was studied using preparations of trimeric HIV-1 Env protein in the prefusion, the prehairpin intermediate and postfusion conformations. MAb 2G12 was used to analyze antigenic properties of construct 92UG-gp140-Fd, derived from isolate 92UG037.8 and stabilized by a C-terminal foldon tag. 92UG-gp140-Fd binds 2G12 with high affinity. Frey2008 (binding affinity)
2G12: The study explores the development of a carbohydrate immunogen that could elicit 2G12-like neutralizing ABs to contribute to an AIDS vaccine. Specifically, the study describes the development of neoglycoconjugates displaying variable copy numbers of synthetic tetramannoside (Man(4) on bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules by conjugation to Lys residues. Immunization of rabbits with BSA-(Man(4))(14) elicits significant serum Ab titers to Man(4). However, these Abs are unable to bind gp120. Astronomo2008 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Addition of a glycosylation site at position V295N in three different subtype C envelope clones (COT9.6, COT6.15 and Du151.2) resulted in increase in binding of 2G12. However, only one of the viral clones (COT9.6) became sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 at high Ab concentrations. Introduction of glycosylation site at position 448 in COT6.15 further increased its binding to 2G12 and resulted in viruses more sensitive to neutralization. Furthermore, addition of glycosylation at position 442 increased binding and neutralization sensitivity of the corresponding viruses to 2G12, and deletion of glycosylation at position 386 resulted in reduction in binding and resistance to neutralization by 2G12. Gray2007a (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: A D386N change in the V4 region, which results in restoration of N-glycosylation at this site, did not have any impact on the neutralization of a mutant virus by 2G12 compared to wildtype. Also, there was no association between increased sensitivity to 2G12 neutralization and enhanced macrophage tropism. Dunfee2007 (antibody binding site)
2G12: This review summarizes data on the development of HIV-1 centralized genes (consensus and ancestral) for induction of neutralizing antibody responses. Functionality and conformation of native epitopes in proteins based on the centralized genes was tested and confirmed by binding to 2G12 and other MAbs. Antibodies induced by immunization with these centralized proteins did not, however, have the breadth and potency compared to that of 2G12 and other broadly neutralizing MAbs. Gao2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, review)
2G12: Macaques were immunized with either CD4, gp120, cross-linked gp120-human CD4 complex (gp120-CD4 XL), and with single chain complex containing gp120 rhesus macaque CD4 domains 1 and 2 (rhFLSC). Sera from the rhFLSC immunized animals showed slightly higher competition titers, being able to block gp120-CD4 complex interactions with 2G12 slightly more efficiently than sera from animals immunized with the three other proteins. DeVico2007 (neutralization)
2G12: 2G12-blocking activity was very low in all of the sera from guinea pigs immunized with gp120 protein, or with three types of VLPs: disulfide-shackled functional trimers (SOS-VLP), uncleaved nonfunctional Env (UNC-VLP), naked VLP bearing no Env. Crooks2007 (neutralization, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Interactions of this Ab with gp120 monomer and two cleavage-defective gp140 trimers were studied. It was shown that 2G12 interactions with the soluble monomers and trimers were minimally affected by GA cross-linking of the proteins, indicating that the 2G12 epitope was maintained after cross-linking. This Ab was associated with a small entropy change upon gp120 binding. This Ab was shown to have a kinetic advantage as it bound to gp120 faster than other less neutralizing Abs. Yuan2006 (antibody binding site, antibody interactions, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: No significant levels of 2G12 were shown to bind to HA/gp41 expressed on cell surfaces and this Ab did not stain cells expressing HA/gp41 in a fluorescence assay. However, it did bind to HIV 89.6 Env expressing cells. Ye2006 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: Viruses with wild-type HIV-1JR-FL Envs were neutralized by this Ab at much lower concentrations than HIV-1 YU2 Env viruses. Yang2006 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: SHIV SF162p4 virus used as challenge in ISCOM vaccinated macaques was shown to be highly sensitive to neutralization by this Ab. Pahar2006 (neutralization)
2G12: All subtype C env-pseudotyped clones derived from individuals in acute/early stage of HIV-1 infection were highly resistant to neutralization by this Ab, since each of the clones lacked a PNLG at one or more critical epitope positions. The sensitivity of clones to a mix of Abs IgG1b12, 2G12 and 2F5 was tracked to IgG1b12. Li2006a (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, acute/early infection, subtype comparisons)
2G12: This Ab was used as a control since its epitope is independent of either V1/V2 or V3 domains confirmed in its equal neutralization of SF162 and variants SF162(JR-FL V3), SF162(JR-FL V1/V2) and SF162(JR-FL V1/V2/V3). This Ab was also shown to neutralize viruses with V3 sequences from several different subtypes (B, F, A1, H, C, CRF02_AG and CRF01_AE). Krachmarov2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Binding of 2G12 to wt gp120 and two constructs with 5 and 9 residues deleted in the middle of the beta3-beta5 loop in the C2 region of gp120 was examined. The deletions of the loop residues did not affect the conformation of 2G12 epitope as 2G12 Ab binding and kinetics were identical for the wt gp120 and both constructs. Rits-Volloch2006 (antibody binding site, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: This Ab was used as a positive control in the neutralization assay. At the highest Ab concentrations, 2G12 was able to neutralize several primary isolates but not all, with a neutralization pattern similar to that of rabbit sera immunized with monovalent and polyvalent DNA-prime/protein-boost Env from different HIV-1 subtypes. At a reduced concentrations, 2G12 showed much weaker neutralizing activities. Wang2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Novel approaches based on sequential (SAP) and competitive (CAP) antigen panning methodologies, and use of antigens with increased exposure of conserved epitopes, for enhanced identification of broadly cross-reactive neutralizing Abs are reviewed. Previously known broadly neutralizing human mAbs are compared to Abs identified by these methods. Zhang2007 (review)
2G12: This Ab was used in the analysis of clade C gp140 (97CN54) antigenicity and was shown not to bind to this molecule, as the glycan epitope is absent. Sheppard2007a (binding affinity)
2G12: 2 glycosylation site additions to asparagines 295 and 392 on the clade C gp120 backbone (gp120CN54+) were used to reconstruct the 2G12 epitope, as the gp120CN54+ construct showed excellent reactivity with 2G12. gp120CN54+ and an Fc tagged outer domain of gp120 (ODCN54+-Fc) bound equally well to 2G12, while Fc fusion to gp120CN54+ reduced 2G12 binding, indicating partial occlusion of the 2G12 epitope. Chen2007a (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: Pseudoviruses derived from gp120 Env variants that evolved in multiple macaques infected with SHIV 89.6P displayed a range of degrees of virion-associated Env cleavage. Pseudoviruses with higher amount of cleaved Env were more sensitive to neutralization by 2G12, as they contained peripheral glycan N386, not present in the wildtype 89.6P. Blay2007 (neutralization)
2G12: Carbohydrate-binding agents, including 2G12, are reviewed regarding to their antiviral activity, resistance development, and their potential use as therapeutic agents. Balzarini2007 (review)
2G12: Increased neutralization sensitivity was observed for (R5)X4 viruses from timepoints both early and late after emergence of X4 compared to their coexisting R5 variants in one patient, and only for the early (R5)X4 viruses in another patient. In a third patient, in contrast, late (R5)X4 viruses were found to be significantly more resistant to 2G12 neutralization than their coexisting R5 variants. Bunnik2007 (co-receptor, neutralization)
2G12: Neutralization sensitivity of maternal and infant viruses to 2G12 close to transmission timepoint was shown to be poor. Even the viruses from one mother, that were shown to be sensitive to maternal Abs and pooled plasma, were not neutralized by 2G12, indicating that Abs in plasma are not directed to this Ab epitope. Rainwater2007 (neutralization, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: 2G12-neutralized HIV-1 captured on Raji-DC-SIGN cells or immature monocyte-derived DCs (iMDDCs) was successfully transferred to CD4+ T lymphocytes, indicating that the 2G12-HIV-1 complex was disassembled upon capture by DC-SIGN-cells. vanMontfort2007 (neutralization, dendritic cells)
2G12: Synthetic monomeric D1 arm oligosaccharide, corresponding to the D1 arm of Man9 which has a high affinity to 2G12, and its fluorinated derivative interacted with 2G12 only weakly. However, when four units of synthetic D1 arm tetrasaccharide were introduced to a cyclic decapeptide template, it showed high affinity to 2G12. Introduction of two T-helper epitopes onto the template did not affect 2G12 binding, indicating that the construct could be used as a new type of immunogen for raising carbohydrate-specific neutralizing Abs against HIV. Wang2007b (mimotopes, vaccine antigen design, kinetics, binding affinity)
2G12: Infusion of a MAb cocktail (4E10, 2G12 and 2F5) into HIV-1 infected subjects was shown to be associated with increased levels of serum anti-cardiolipin and anti-phosphatidylserine Ab titers, and increased coagulation times. In the absence or in the presence of adult and neonate plasma, 2G12 did not bind to either phosphatidylserine nor to cardiolipin, and did not induce significant prolongations of clotting times in human plasma, indicating that infusion of 2G12 was not responsible for autoreactivity and prolonged clotting times. Vcelar2007 (antibody interactions, autoantibody or autoimmunity, binding affinity, immunotherapy)
2G12: The major infectivity and neutralization differences between a PBMC-derived HIV-1 W61D strain and its T-cell line adapted counterpart were conferred by the interactions of three Env amino acid substitutions, E440G, D457G and H564N. Chimeric Env-pseudotyped virus Ch5, containing all three of the mutations, was equally neutralization sensitive to 2G12 as Ch2, which did not contain any of these mutations. Beddows2005a (neutralization)
2G12: Four primary isolates (PIs), Bx08, Bx17, 11105C and Kon, were tested for binding and neutralization by 2G12. 2G12 was only able to neutralize Bx08, but bound well to both Bx08 and Bx17 and less well to 11105C and Kon. There was no direct correlation between binding and neutralization of the four PIs by 2G12. CD4-induced gp120 shedding resulted in a decrease of 2G12 binding to Bx08. Presence of gp160 depleted of the principal immunodominant domain (PID) significantly decreased capture of Bx17 and Kon by 2G12. Presence of both gp160ΔPID and PID slightly improved the inhibition of virus capture compared to PID peptide alone, revealing an additive effect. Burrer2005 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: A panel of 60 HIV-1 isolates, with complete genome sequences available, was formed for neutralization assay standardization. It comprises of 10 isolates from each of the subtypes A, B, C, D, CRF01_AE and CRF02AG, with majority of the viruses being of R5 phenotype and few of X4 phenotype. Neutralization profile of each isolate was assessed by measuring neutralization by sCD4, a cocktail of MAbs including 2G12, 2F5 and IgG1b12, and a large pool of sera collected from HIV-1 positive patients. The MAb cocktail neutralized with >50% a large portion of the isolates (51/60) including: 10 subtype A isolates, 8 subtype B isolates, 8 subtype C isolates, 9 subtype D isolates, 7 CRF-01_AE isolates, and 9 CRF_02AG isolates. Brown2005a (assay or method development, neutralization, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The unique structure of the 2G12 MAb, and the reasons for its unique ability to recognize oligomannose chains on the silent face of the gp120, are reviewed. Engineering of Abs based on revealed structures of broadly neutralizing MAbs is discussed. Burton2005 (antibody binding site, review, structure)
2G12: SFV-gp140(-GCN4) was constructed for analysis of its immunogenic properties in animal models. Both gp120 and gp140(-GCN4) secreted from rSFV-infected cells were recognized by 2G12, suggesting that the proteins retained their native folding. Forsell2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Monomeric gp120 and trimeric gp140CF proteins synthesized from an artificial group M consensus Env gene (CON6) bound efficiently to 2G12, indicating correct exposure of the 2G12 epitope. A mix of 2G12, 2F5 and b12 MAbs (TriMab2) was used for neutralization assessment of some subtype B isolates, but showed no significant neutralization. Gao2005a (antibody binding site, neutralization)
2G12: 2G12 neutralized viral isolates HXBc2, SF162, 89.6 and BaL. ADA isolate was poorly neutralized and the YU2 isolate was not neutralized. Neutralization was concentration dependent, as higher MAb concentration resulted in higher % of neutralization. The exception was the YU2 isolate, where higher concentration of 2G12 resulted in enhancement of viral infection. Grundner2005 (enhancing activity, neutralization)
2G12: 2G12 bound with a higher maximal mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) to Env protein on the surface of cells producing gp140Δct-pseudotyped neutralization resistant 3.2P strain, than to the Env of pseudotyped neutralization sensitive HXBc2. Neutralization assays with the pseudotyped viruses showed that 2G12 neutralized both viruses with same potency. Furin co-transfection did not have an effect on the reactivity of pseudoviruses with 2G12 or on their neutralization sensitivity. Presence or absence of sialic acid residues did not affect Env reactivity with 2G12. Herrera2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Why broadly neutralizing Abs, such as 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10, are extremely rare, and their protective abilities and potential role in immunotherapy are discussed. Julg2005 (neutralization, immunotherapy, review)
2G12: Point mutations in the highly conserved structural motif LLP-2 within the intracytoplasmic tail of gp41 resulted in conformational alternations of both gp41 and gp120. The alternations did not affect virus CD4 binding, coreceptor binding site exposure, or infectivity of the virus, but did result in increased relative neutralization resistance of the LLP-2 mutant virus to 2G12, compared with wildtype virus. The increased neutralization resistance of LLP-2 virus was associated with decreased 2G12 binding to its epitope. Kalia2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: A series of genetically modified Env proteins were generated and expressed in both insect and animal cells to be monitored for their antigenic characteristics. For 2G12, two of the modified proteins expressed in insect cells, dV1V2 mutant (V1V2 deletions) followed by the dV2 mutant, showed higher binding to the Ab than the wildtype Env did, indicating that V1V2 deletion exposes epitopes against 2G12 better than other proteins. Unlike for most of the other MAbs, 3G mutant (mutations in 3 glycosylation sites) did not show a higher binding affinity to 2G12. When expressed in animal cells, only dV2 mutant resulted in higher binding to 2G12, while all other modified proteins showed lower binding compared to the wildtype. Kang2005 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: Full-length gp160 clones were derived from acute and early human HIV-1 infections and used as env-pseudotyped viruses in neutralization assays for their characterization as neutralization reference agents. 12 out of 19 pseudoviruses were neutralized by 2G12, as were SF162.LS and IIIB strains but not the MN strain. Resistance to 2G12 was generally associated with lack of N-glycosylation sites, except in one case, where the clone was resistant to neutralization in spite of presence N-glycosylation sites. Two clones lacked N-glycosylation at residues 339 and 386, but remained sensitive to 2G12. A mixture of IgG1b12, 2F5 and 2G12 (TriMab) exhibited potent neutralizing activity against all Env-pseudotyped viruses except one. 7 out of 12 Env-pseudotyped viruses were more sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 than their uncloned parental PBMC-grown viruses. Li2005a (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: Pseudoviruses expressing HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins from BL01, BR07 and 89.6 strains were compared in neutralization assays to replication competent clone derived from transfection of 293T cells (IMC-293T) and to the IMC-293T derived from a single passage through PBMC (IMC-PBMC). The neutralization responses of pseudoviruses and corresponding IMC-293T to 2G12 were similar, while a significant decrease in viral neutralization sensitivity to 2G12 was observed for all three IMC-PBMC viruses. The decrease was associated with an increase in average virion envelope glycoprotein content on the PBMC-derived virus. Louder2005 (assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: 2G12 was used as isolating template for screening of a phage library in order to develop mimotopes that target carbohydrate antigens of gp120. Specific binding of 2G12 to three phages expressing peptides was observed, however, 2G12 did not bind to the peptides themselves. Pashov2005a (assay or method development)
2G12: 2G12 neutralized JR-FL, but not YU2 HIV-1 strain. 2G12 and other neutralizing mAbs recognized JR-FL cleavage-competent and cleavage-defective env glycoproteins, while non-neutralizing Abs only recognized JR-FL cleavage-defective glycoproteins. It is suggested that an inefficient env glycoprotein precursor cleavage exposes non-neutralizing determinants, while only neutralizing regions remain accessible on efficiently cleaved spikes. For YU2, both cleavage-competent and -defective glycoproteins were recognized by both neutralizing and non-neutralizing Abs. Pancera2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: A short review of 2F5 and 4E10 interaction with autoantigens, epitope accessibility, structure, neutralizing capability, and the reasons for their infrequent appearance in nature. Immunotherapy and escape to 2G12 is also discussed. Nabel2005 (escape, immunotherapy, review)
2G12: Viruses containing substitutions at either L568 or K574 of the gp41 hydrophobic pocket were resistant to D5-IgG1 but were as sensitive to 2G12 as the wildtype virus. Miller2005
2G12: This short review summarizes recent findings of the role of neutralizing Abs in controlling HIV-1 infection. Certain neutralizing MAbs and their potential role in immunotherapy and vaccination, as well as the reasons for their poor immunogenicity, are discussed. Montefiori2005 (antibody binding site, therapeutic vaccine, escape, immunotherapy)
2G12: Virions containing a single point mutation Y706C in gp41 had a 10-fold increase in binding to 2G12 compared to wildtype. This, together with the same p24 supernatant levels after transfection with wildtype and mutant virus, indicated that the mutant virions contained more envelope on a per-particle basis. Poon2005 (antibody binding site, binding affinity)
2G12: Escape mutations in HR1 of gp41 that confer resistance to Enfuvirtide reduced infection and fusion efficiency and also delayed fusion kinetics of HIV-1. They also conferred increased neutralization sensitivity to a subset of neutralizing MAbs that target fusion intermediates or with epitopes exposed following receptor interactions. Enhanced neutralization correlated with reduced fusion kinetics. None of the mutations had a significant effect on 2G12 neutralization of virus. Reeves2005 (antibody binding site, drug resistance, neutralization, escape, HAART, ART)
2G12: There was no difference found in the neutralization sensitivity of viruses isolated from acutely and from chronically infected HIV-1 patients to this Ab, suggesting that the glycosylation sites manifesting the epitope of 2G12 are well conserved throughout the course of infection. Rusert2005 (antibody binding site, neutralization, acute/early infection)
2G12: 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, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, binding affinity, immunotherapy, review, structure)
2G12: Six acutely and eight chronically infected patients were passively immunized with a mix of 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10 neutralizing Abs during treatment interruption. Two chronically and four acutely infected individuals showed evidence of a delay in viral rebound during Ab treatment suggesting that NAbs can contain viremia in HIV-1 infected individuals. All subjects with virus sensitive to 2G12 developed Ab escape mutants resulting in loss of viremia and failure to treatment. In several cases resistance to 2G12 emerged rapidly. Plasma levels of 2G12 were substantially higher than those of 2F5 and 4E10, and the 2G12 levels exceeded the in vitro required 90% inhibitory doses by two orders of magnitude in subjects that responded to Ab treatment. This suggested that high levels of NAbs are required for inhibition in vivo. Trkola2005 (neutralization, acute/early infection, escape, immunotherapy, early treatment, HAART, ART, supervised treatment interruptions (STI))
2G12: Ab neutralization of viruses with mixtures of neutralization-sensitive and neutralization-resistant envelope glycoproteins was measured. It was concluded that binding of a single Ab molecule is sufficient to inactivate function of an HIV-1 glycoprotein trimer. The inhibitory effect of the Ab was similar for neutralization-resistant and -sensitive viruses indicating that the major determinant of neutralization potency of an Ab is the efficiency with which it binds to the trimer. It was also indicated that each functional trimer on the virus surface supports HIV-1 entry independently, meaning that every trimer on the viral surface must be bound by an Ab for neutralization of the virus to be achieved. Yang2005b (neutralization)
2G12: A substantial fraction of soluble envelope glycoprotein trimers contained inter-subunit disulfide bonds. Reduction of these disulfide bonds had little effect on binding of the 2G12 to the glycoprotein, indicating that the inter-S-S bonds had no impact on the exposure of 2G12 epitope. Yuan2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: 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, antibody interactions, neutralization, vaccine antigen design, variant cross-reactivity, immunotherapy, review, structure)
2G12: 2G12 was investigated in different neutralization formats, including the standard format that measures activity over the entire infection period and several formats that emphasize various stages of infection. The activity of 2G12 was induced in the post-CD4 format and was less pronounced in the standard format. 2G12 did not neutralize after CD4/CCR5 engagement. HIV-1+ human plasma mediated high-levels of post-CD4 neutralization indicating presence of b12 and 2G12 -like Abs. Crooks2005 (antibody binding site, assay or method development, neutralization)
2G12: This review summarizes data on the polyspecific reactivities to host antigens by the broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10. It also hypothesizes that some broadly reactive Abs might not be routinely made because they are derived from B cell populations that frequently make polyspecific Abs and are thus subjected to B cell negative selection. Haynes2005a (antibody interactions, review)
2G12: This review summarizes data that indicate that the V3 region of HIV-1 may be an epitope to target for the induction of protective Abs. Data shows that the V3 region can induce broadly-reactive, cross-neutralizing Abs, that it is partially exposed during various stages of the infectious process, and that it is immunogenic. 2G12 is the only highly neutralizing MAb targeting the carbohydrate region of gp120, suggesting that this region does not induce protective Abs. The carbohydrate epitope is poorly immunogenic and 2G12 has an aberrant structure probably extremely rare in the human Ab repertoire. Zolla-Pazner2005 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, review)
2G12: In addition to gp120-gp41 trimers, HIV-1 particles were shown to bear nonfunctional gp120-gp41 monomers and gp120-depleted gp41 stumps on their surface. 2G12 effectively neutralized wildype virus particles. 2G12 was found to bind to both nonfunctional monomers and to gp120-gp41 trimers. Binding of 2G12 to trimers correlated with its neutralization of wildtype virus particles. Monomer binding did not correlate with neutralization, but it did correlate with virus capture. It is hypothesized that the nonfunctional monomers on the HIV-1 surface serve to divert the Ab response, helping the virus to avoid neutralization. Moore2006 (antibody binding site, neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: A carbohydrate mimetic peptide with central motif versions RYRY and YPYRY was shown to precipitate human IgG Ab that bind to gp120 and to immunoprecipitate gp120 from transfected cells. 2G12 showed significant binding only to the PYPY motif version of the peptide. Pashov2006 (mimotopes)
Macaques were immunized with SF162gp140, ΔV2gp140, ΔV2ΔV3gp140 and ΔV3gp140 constructs and their antibody responses were compared to the broadly reactive NAb responses in a macaque infected with SHIV SF162P4, and with pooled sera from humans infected with heterologous HIV-1 isolates (HIVIG). 2G12 recognized all four gp140 proteins equally. Low titers of Abs capable of blocking the binding of 2G12 were present in the sera from the SHIV-infected macaque, but were absent in the sera from the gp140-immunized animals. Derby2006 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Development of neutralizing Abs and changes to Env gp120 were analyzed in SHIV infected macaques during a period of 1 year. 4 macaques showed little viral divergence while the remaining 7 showed significant env divergence from the inoculum, associated with higher titers of homologous NAbs. In five of the 7 divergent animals, the glycosylation site N386, which is a part of the 2G12 epitope, was significantly added. Glycosylation sites N392, on the inner domain of gp120, and N295, on the silent face, also forma a part of the 2G12 epitope, and were found to be highly conserved. Blay2006 (antibody binding site)
2G12: 2G12 did not inhibit binding of Fc-gp120 to CD4, however, it inhibited binding of Fc-gp120, and of the virus itself, to the CCR5 coreceptor and to the DC-SIGN. Thus 2G12 probably inhibits HIV-1 by two mechanisms: blocking of gp120-CCR5 and of gp120-DC-SIGN interactions. Pre-incubation of virus with sCD4 did not affect its neutralization by 2G12. This Ab was also shown to effectively inhibit trans-infection of virus from primary monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) to CD4+ T-cells. Attachment of Fc-gp120 to MDDCs and PBLs was partially inhibited by 2G12, while b12 and sCD4 did not inhibit binding to MDDCs but did inhibit binding to PBLs. The results indicate that Env attachment is mediated through DC-SIGN and other receptors on MDDCs while it is predominantly mediated by CD4 and CCR5 on PBLs. Binley2006 (antibody binding site, co-receptor, neutralization, binding affinity, dendritic cells)
2G12: A fusion protein (FLSC R/T-IgG1) that targets CCR5 was expressed from a synthetic gene linking a single chain gp120-CD4 complex containing an R5 gp120 sequence with the hinge-Ch2-Ch3 portion of human IgG1. The fusion protein did not activate the co-receptor by binding. In cell-line based assays, the FLSC R/T-IgG1 was less potent in neutralizing R5 HIV-1 primary isolates than 2G12, while in PBMC assays they were comparable. Vu2006 (neutralization)
2G12: Env-pseudotyped viruses were constructed from the gp160 envelope genes from seven children infected with subtype C HIV-1. 2G12 failed to neutralize any of the seven viruses, correlating with the absence of crucial N-linked glycans that define 2G12 epitope on these viruses. When this Ab was mixed with IgG1b12 and 2F5, the neutralization was similar as to IgGb12 alone, indicating that the majority of the pool activity was due to IgG1b12. When 4E10 was added to this mix, all isolates were neutralized. Gray2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, responses in children, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: Pharmacokinetic properties of this Ab were studied in HIV infected patients infused with high doses of 2G12. The Ab did not elicit an endogenous immune response and had distribution and systemic clearance values similar to other Abs. The elimination half-life was measured to 21.8 days, which is significantly longer than the elimination half-life of 4E10 and 2F5. Joos2006 (kinetics, immunotherapy)
2G12: Inhibition of 2G12 binding to gp120 by 2G12-like Abs in sera from long-term non-progressors (LTNP) was determined. 2G12-like Abs were present in almost all sera from LTNPs but at a lower levels than b12. Higher 2G12-like Ab levels were significantly associated with the broadest neutralizing activity in sera from LNTPs. Braibant2006 (enhancing activity, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Neutralization rates and rate constants for the neutralization of clade B primary isolates SF33, SF162 and 89.6 by this Ab were determined. Statistically significant neutralization was not observed for isolate SF162. It was shown that neutralization sensitivity is not associated with neutralization of cell-associated or free virus. Davis2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, kinetics)
2G12: Cloned Envs (clades A, B, C, D, F1, CRF01_AE, CRF02_AG, CRF06_cpx and CRF11_cpx) derived from donors either with or without broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies were shown to be of comparable susceptibility to neutralization by 2G12. Cham2006 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The ability of this Ab to inhibit viral growth was increased when macrophages and immature dendritic cells (iDCs) were used as target cells instead of PHA-stimulated PBMCs. It is suggested that inhibition of HIV replication by this Ab for macrophages and iDCs can occur by two distinct mechanisms, neutralization of infectivity involving only the Fab part of the IgG, and, an IgG-FcγR-dependent interaction leading to endocytosis and degradation of HIV particles. Holl2006 (neutralization, dendritic cells)
2G12: Viruses with cleavage-competent 2G12-knockout Env and cleavage-defective Env able to bind 2G12 were constructed. The amount of Env precipitated by 2G12 was same when the two pseudotyped virus variants were mixed as with the wildtype alone, suggesting formation of heterotrimers consisting of both cleavage-competent and defective Envs. The presence of nonfunctional Envs on the surface of infectious virions did not affect the neutralization by 2G12. The neutralization by the CD4-binding agents was also unaffected by 2G12 binding to uncleaved Env indicating that the function of a trimer is unaffected sterically by the binding of an antibody to adjacent trimer. Herrera2006 (neutralization, binding affinity)
2G12: Inhibition of R5 HIV replication by monoclonal and polyclonal IgGs and IgAs in iMDDCs was evaluated. The neutralizing activity of 2G12 was higher in iMDDCs than in PHA-stimulated PBMCs. A 90% reduction of HIV infection was observed without induction of MDDC maturation by this MAb. Blockade of FcgammaRII on iMDDCs decreased the anti-HIV activity of 2G12 while increased expression of FcgammaRI increased inhibition of HIV by 2G12, suggesting the involvement of these receptors in the HIV-inhibitory activity of this Ab. Holl2006a (neutralization, dendritic cells)
2G12: G1 and G2 recombinant gp120 proteins, consisting of 2F5 and 4E10, and 4E10 epitopes, respectively, engrafted into the V1/V2 region of gp120, were tested as an immunogen to see if they could elicit MPER antibody responses. Deletion of V1/V2 from gp120 or its replacement with G1 and G2 grafts, did not greatly affect binding of 2G12 to gp120. Shortening of the N and C termini of the V3 loop nearly abolished binding of 2G12. Law2007 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: This review describes the effectiveness of the current HIV-1 immunogens in eliciting neutralizing antibody responses to different clades of HIV-1. It also summarizes different evasion and antibody escape mechanisms, as well as the most potent neutralizing MAbs and their properties. MAbs reviewed in this article are: 2G12, IgG1b12, 2F5, 4E10, A32, 447-52D and, briefly, D50. Novel immunogen design strategies are also discussed. Haynes2006a (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, escape)
2G12: 2G12 was used as a negative control to investigate the relationship of MAb 412d epitope to the CCR5 binding site of gp120. These two MAbs were incubated with soluble CD4 and ADA gp120 in the presence of a peptide shown to block the association of gp120-CD4 with CCR5. As expected, the presence of the peptide did not inhibit precipitation of gp120 by 2G12, since it binds an epitope distinct from the CCR5 binding domain, while it did inhibit the 412d. Choe2003 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The gp140δCFI protein of CON-S M group consensus protein and gp140CFI and gp140CF proteins of CON6 and WT viruses from HIV-1 subtypes A, B and C were expressed in recombinant vaccinia viruses and tested as immunogens in guinea pigs. 2G12 was shown to bind specifically to all recombinant proteins except for the subtype B gp140δCF and subtype A gp140δCFI. The specific binding of this Ab to CON-S indicated that its conformational epitope was intact. This Ab also bound specifically to the two tested subtype B gp120 proteins. Liao2006 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Cross-neutralization was limited in this study. 2G12 neutralized subtype A strain UG273 and subtype B strains US2, NL4-3, and IIIB. It did not neutralize subtype C strain ETH2220, subtype D UG270, CRF01 A/E ID12; subtype F BZ163; nor subtype G BCF06. 3 HIV-2 strains and SIVmac 251 were also not neutralized. 2G12 bound to MN and NDK, but did not neutralize them. Neutralization resistance was selected in culture using strains NL43 and IIIB. NL43 escaped via loss of the glycosylation sequon at positions 295-297, IIIB escaped via sequon losses at positions 392-394 and 295-297, or 406-408, as expected from earlier studies defining critical mannose residues for 2G12 binding. The loss of the mannose actually enhanced mannose-specific lectin inhibition of the virus. Huskens2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization, variant cross-reactivity, escape, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Binding of 2G12 to gp120 was not significantly affected by the small molecule HIV-1 entry inhibitor IC9564. IC9564 induces conformational change of gp120 to allow CD4i antibody 17b to bind, but inhibits CD4-induced gp41 conformational changes. Huang2007 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The neutralizing activity of this antibody for the JR-FL Env variant with the N160K/E160K mutations was measured in comparison with the neutralizing activity of 2909, which was found to be higher. Honnen2007 (neutralization, variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: Controlled attachment of Ab-bound HIV to cells was not affected by the presence of this Ab. However, the virus was still efficiently neutralized indicating that binding of 2G12 to the cell-free virus interferes with a step of infection subsequent to cell attachment. Haim2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization, kinetics)
2G12: This Ab was used to help define the antigenic profile of envelopes used in serum depletion experiments to attempt to define the neutralizing specificities of broadly cross-reactive neutralizing serum. It bound to JR-FL and JR-CSF gp120 monomers and to a lesser extent to core JR-CSF gp120 monomer. Dhillon2007 (antibody binding site, neutralization)
2G12: SOSIP Env proteins are modified by the introduction of a disulfide bond between gp120 and gp41 (SOS), and an I559P (IP) substitution in gp41, and form trimers. The KNH1144 subtype A virus formed more stable trimers than did the prototype subtype B SOSIP Env, JRFL. The stability of gp140 trimers was increased for JR-FL and Ba-L SOSIP proteins by substituting the five amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of gp41 with corresponding residues from KNH1144 virus. b12, 2G12, 2F5, 4E10 and CD4-IgG2 all bound similarly to the WT and to the stabilized JRFL SOSIP timers, suggesting that the trimer-stabilizing substitutions do not impair the overall antigenic structure of gp140 trimers. Dey2007
2G12: 15 subtype A HIV-1 envelopes from early in infection were not neutralized by 2G12, likely because of a deletion or shift in one or more of the 5 glycosylation sites associated with 2G12 recognition. SF162 was neutralized as expected. Blish2007 (neutralization, acute/early infection, subtype comparisons)
2G12: This Ab was found to be able to bind to a highly stable trimeric rgp140 derived from a HIV-1 subtype D isolate containing intermonomer V3-derived disulfide bonds and lacking gp120/gp41 cleavage. Billington2007
2G12: Yeast display was compared to phage display and shown to select all the scFv identified by phage display and additional novel antibodies. Biotinylated C11 and 2G12 were used to minimize selection of non-gp120 specific clones from the yeast displayed antibody library; these MAbs were used as they have unique epitopes with limited overlap with most known epitopes. Bowley2007 (assay or method development)
2G12: 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. Primary isolate Envs were completely resistant or just somewhat sensitive to neutralization by 2G12 while the consensus B constructs were sensitive. Thus the 2G12 epitope is present on the consensus B Env glycoprotein and was not influenced by the Env modifications in this study. Kothe2007 (vaccine antigen design, variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: Newborn macaques were challenged orally with the highly pathogenic SHIV89.6P and then treated intravenously with a combination of IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10 one and 12 hours post-virus exposure. All control animals became highly viremic and developed AIDS. In the group treated with mAbs 1 hour post-virus exposure, 3/4 animals were protected from persistent systemic infection and one was protected from disease. In the group treated with mAbs 12 hour post-virus exposure, one animal was protected from persistent systemic infection and disease was prevented or delayed in two animals. IgG1b12, 2G12, and 4E10 were also given 24 hours after exposure in a separate study; 4/4 treated animals become viremic, but with delayed and lower peak viremia relative to controls. 3/4 treated animals did not get AIDS during the follow up period, and 1 showed a delayed progression to AIDS , while the 4 untreated animals died of AIDS. Thus the success of passive immunization with NAbs depends on the time window between virus exposure and the start of immunoprophylaxis. Ferrantelli2007 (immunoprophylaxis)
2G12: Antigens were designed to attempt to target immune responses toward the IgG1b12 epitope, while minimizing antibody responses to less desirable epitopes. One construct had a series of substitutions near the CD4 binding site (GDMR), the other had 7 additional glycans (mCHO). The 2 constructs did not elicit b12-like neutralizing antibodies, but both antigens successfully dampened other responses that were intended to be dampened while not obscuring b12 binding. 2G12 had diminished binding to both antigen constructs. Selvarajah2005 (vaccine antigen design, vaccine-induced immune responses)
2G12: Concanavalin A (ConA) binds to mannose and blocks 2G12 binding, but 2G12 does not block ConA binding. ConA binding is less sensitive to mutations in glycosylation sites than 2G12. Furthermore, ConA neutralizes HIV-1 at a post-CD4 binding step. Thus, this report indicates that designing antigens based on the HIV-1 mannose residues that bind ConA may be an effective vaccine strategy, as antibodies elicited might be broadly cross-reactive. Pashov2005 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Passive immunization of 8 HIV-1 infected patients with 4E10, 2F5 and 2G12 (day 0, 4E10; days 7, 14 and 21 4E10+2G12+2F5; virus isolated on days 0 and 77) resulted in 0/8 patients with virus that escaped all three NAbs. Three patients had viruses that escaped 2G12, and two of these were sequenced. Each had lost two of the glycosylation sites required for 2G12 binding (one had 295 N->D and 332 N->T changes, the other had 295 N->T and 392 N->T changes). In a companion in vitro study, resistance to a single MAb emerged in 3-22 weeks, but triple combination resistance was slower and characterized by decreased viral fitness. In contrast to the in vivo escape study, only one N was lost in the in vitro experiments, a 386 N->K change in a triple resistant mutant. The lack of resistance to the combination of MAbs in vivo and the reduced fitness of the escape mutants selected in vitro suggests passive immunotherapy may be of value in HIV infection. Nakowitsch2005 (escape, immunotherapy)
2G12: Nine anti-gp41 bivalent Fabs that interacted with either or both of the six-helix bundle and the internal coiled-coil of N-helices of gp41 were selected from a non-immune human phage display library. The IC50 the range for the inhibition of LAV ENV-mediated cell-fusion was 6-61 ug/ml -- for context, 2F5 and 2G12 (IC50s of 0.5-1.5 ug/ml) were about an order of magnitude more potent in this assay than the best Fabs generated here. Louis2005 (neutralization)
2G12: Retrovirus inactivation for vaccine antigen delivery was explored through lipid modification by hydrophobic photoinduced alkylating probe 1.5 iodonaphthylazide (INA). The viral proteins were shown to be structurally intact in the treated non-infectious virus, through the preservation of antibody binding sites for polyclonal anti-gp120 serum, and for broadly neutralizing MAbs 2G12, b12 and 4E10, although the modifications of the lipid disabled viral infection. Raviv2005 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: This study is about the V2 MAb C108g, that is type-specific and neutralizes BaL and HXB2. JR-FL is a neutralization resistant strain; modification of JRFL at V2 positions 167 and 168 (GK->DE) created a C108g epitope, and C108g could potently neutralize the modified JR-FL. The modification in V2 also increased neutralization sensitivity to V3 MABs 4117c, 2219, 2191, and 447-52D, but only had minor effects on neutralization by CD4BS MAb 5145A, and broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, and 2F5. Pinter2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The HIV-1 Bori-15 variant was adapted from the Bori isolate for replication in microglial cells. Bori-15 had increased replication in microglial cells and a robust syncytium-forming phenotype, ability to use low levels of CD4 for infection, and increased sensitivity to neutralization by sCD4 and 17b. Four amino acid changes in gp120 V1-V2 were responsible for this change. Protein functionality and integrity of soluble, monomeric gp120-molecules derived from parental HIV-1 Bori and microglia-adapted HIV-1 Bori-15 was assessed in ELISA binding assays using CD4BS MAbs F105 and IgG1b12, glycan-specific 2G12, and V3-specific 447-52D, and were unchanged. Association rates of sCD4 and 17b were not changed, but dissociation rates were 3-fold slower for sCD4 and 14-fold slower for 17b. Martin-Garcia2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Sera from subtype A infected individuals from Cameroon have antibodies that react strongly with subtype A and subtype B V3 loops in fusion proteins, and neutralize SF162 pseudotypes, while sera from 47 subtype B infected individuals reacted only with subtype B V3s. Sera from Cameroon did not neutralize primary A or B isolates, due to indirect masking by the V1/V2 domain rather than due to loss of the target epitope. Neutralization by Cameroonian sera MAbs was blocked by Clade A and B V3 loop fusion proteins, while NAbs to non-V3 epitopes, 2F5, 2G12, and b12, were not blocked. Krachmarov2005 (antibody binding site, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: 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. Unlike the other three broadly neutralizing human anti-HIV-1 MAbs, 2G12 has no indication of polyspecific autoreactivity. Haynes2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: 2909 is a human anti-Env NAb that was selected by a neutralization assay and binds to the quaternary structure on the intact virion. ELISA-based competition assays and subsequent mutational analysis determined that the CD4BS and V2 and V3 loops contribute to the 2909 epitope: 2909 binding was inhibited by MAbs 447-52d (anti-V3), 830A (anti-V2), and IgG1b12 (anti-CD4BS) and sCD4. 2909 was not inhibited by MAbs 670, 1418, nor 2G12; in fact, 2G12 enhanced 2909 binding. Gorny2005
2G12: Precise characterization of 2G12 binding to carbohydrate was undertaken; the 2G12 Fab was co-crystallized with four oligomannose derivatives, Man4, Man5, Man7 and Man8. 2G12 recognizes the terminal Manα1-2Man both in the context of the D1 arm (Manα1-2Manα1-2Man) and D3 arm (Manα1-2Manα1-6Man) of the Man9GlcNAc2 moiety, but not the D2 arm. This gives the 2G12 more binding flexibility than previously thought, as only the D1 arm binding had been shown previously. Calarese2005 (antibody binding site, structure)
2G12: The lack of glycosylation sites at residues Asn 295 and Thy 394 within C-clade gp120s generally causes the loss of 2G12 recognition. Introduction of glycans in the subtype C strain HIV-1CN54 at these positions restored 2G12 binding, and addition of just a single glycan partially restored binding (V295N + A394T >> V295N > A395T). 2G12 epitope recovery decreased b12 binding. Chen2005 (antibody binding site)
2G12: By adding N-linked glycosylation sites to gp120, epitope masking of non-neutralizing epitopes can be achieved leaving the IgG1b12 binding site intact. This concept was originally tested with the addition of four glycosylation sites, but binding to b12 was reduced. It was modified here to exclude the C1 N-terminal region, and to include only three additional glycosylation sites. This modified protein retains full b12 binding affinity and it binds to the neutralizing MAb 2G12. It masks other potentially competing epitopes, and does not bind to 21 other MAbs to 7 epitopes on gp120. Pantophlet2004 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Infusions of 2F5 and 2G12 intravenously administered 24h prior to vaginal SHIV-89.P challenge are able to protect macaques from infections. Animals that receive a IL-2 adjuvanted DNA immunization SIV Gag and HIV Env have T-cell responses and lower viral loads, but were not protected. Suboptimal levels of 2F5 and 2G12 were not able to confer sterile protection in combination with the T-cell responses stimulated by DNA immunizations. Mascola2003
2G12: Nabs against HIV-1 M group isolates were tested for their ability to neutralize 6 randomly selected HIV-1 O group strains. 2G12 did not neutralize O group strains, although it was included in a quadruple combination of b12, 2F5, 2G12, and 4E10, that neutralized the six Group O viruses between 62-97%. Ferrantelli2004a (variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: Neonatal rhesus macaques were exposed orally to a pathogenic SHIV, 89.6P. 4/8 were given an intramuscular, passive immunization consisting of NAbs 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10, each given at a different body sites at 40 mg/kg per Ab, at one hour and again at 8 days after exposure to 89.6P. The four animals that were untreated all died with a mean survival time of 5.5 weeks, the four animals that got the NAb combination were protected from infection. This model suggests Abs may be protective against mother-to-infant transmission of HIV. Ferrantelli2004 (mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: 93 viruses from different clades were tested for their neutralization cross-reactivity using a panel of HIV antibodies. 2G12 primarily neutralized B clade viruses with sporadic neutralization of A, D, and two AC recombinants, and no C or CRF01 (E) isolates. Envelopes from subtypes C and E have generally lost critical glycans for 2G12 binding. Binley2004 (variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: Env sequences were derived from 4 men at primary infection and four years later; the antigenicity in terms of the ability to bind to 2G12, 2F5 and IgG1b12 was determined. 2G12 bound primarily to late clones in 3 of the 4 patients, and to both early and late in the other patient. Neither 2F5 nor IgG1b12 showed a difference in binding affinity to early or late envelopes. The number of glycosylation sites increased in the three patients. The ability to bind to 2G12 correlated perfectly with having all three sites known to be important for binding: N295 in C2, N332 in C3, and N392 in the V4 loop. Dacheux2004 (antibody binding site, acute/early infection, kinetics)
2G12: Crystal structure analysis of Fab 2G12 alone or complexed with Manα1-2Man or Man9GlcNac2 demonstrates that the exchange of VH domains forms stable dimers for gp120 binding. Two Fabs assemble in an interlocked VH domain swapped dimer, providing an extended surface for multivalent interaction with the cluster of oligomannose on gp120, allowing high-affinity recognition of repeated epitopes in the carbohydrate structure. Ala substitutions of the 2G12 VH/VH' interface residues Ile H19, Arg H57, Phe H77, Tyr H80, Val H84 and Pro H113 result in the loss of 2G12-gp120 JR-FL binding. Calarese2003 (antibody binding site, antibody sequence, structure)
2G12: Synthetic mannose Man9 clusters arranged on a scaffold were used to mimic the epitope of 2G12. Bi-, tri, and tetra-valent clusters had a 7-, 22-, and 73-fold higher affinities for 2G12 than the monomers, suggesting that 2G12 binds best to multiple carbohydrate moieties. 2G12 bound larger mannose oligosaccharides with higher affinity: Ma9GlcNAc bound 210- and 74-fold more effectively that Man6GlcNac and Man5GlcNAc, respectively. Wang2004 (antibody binding site)
2G12: This review discusses research presented at the Ghent Workshop of prevention of breast milk transmission and immunoprophylaxis for HIV-1 in pediatrics (Seattle, Oct. 2002), and makes the case for developing passive or active immunoprophylaxis in neonates to prevent mother-to-infant transmission. Macaque studies have shown that passive transfer of NAb combinations (for example, IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5, and 4E10; or 2G12 and 2F5) can confer partial or complete protection to infant macaques from subsequent oral SHIV challenge. Safrit2004 (immunoprophylaxis, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: A primary isolate, CC1/85, was passaged 19 times in PBMC and gradually acquired increased sensitivity to FAb b12 and sCD4 that was attributed to changes in the V1V2 loop region, in particular the loss of a potential glycosylation site. The affinity for sCD4 was unchanged in the monomer, suggesting that the structural impact of the change was manifested at the level of the trimer. The passaged virus, CCcon19, retained an R5 phenotype and its neutralization susceptibility to other Abs was essentially the same as CC1/85. The IC50 for 2G12 was 1.8 for CC1/85, and was 4.2 for CCcon19, so both the primary and passaged viruses were neutralized. Pugach2004 (variant cross-reactivity, viral fitness and reversion)
2G12: V1V2 was determined to be the region that conferred the neutralization phenotype differences between two R5-tropic primary HIV-1 isolates, JRFL and SF162. JRFL is resistant to neutralization by many sera and MAbs, while SF162 is sensitive. All MAbs tested, anti-V3, -V2, -CD4BS, and -CD4i, (except the broadly neutralizing MAbs IgG1b12, 2F5, and 2G12, which neutralized both strains), neutralized the SF162 pseudotype but not JRFL, and chimeras that exchanged the V1V2 loops transferred the neutralization phenotype. 2G12 was the only MAb that neutralized JRFL more efficiently than SF162, with a 6-fold lower ND50 for JRFL. 2G12 also had a higher affinity for JRFL. Pinter2004 (variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: An antigen panel representing different regions of gp41 was generated, and sera from 23 individuals were screened. 2G12 was a control, binding to gp120 but to none of the gp41 peptides in the experiment. Opalka2004 (assay or method development)
2G12: A set of HIV-1 chimeras that altered V3 net charge and glycosylation patterns in V1V2 and V3, involving inserting V1V2 loops from a late stage primary isolate taken after the R5 to X4 switch, were studied with regard to phenotype, co-receptor usage, and MAb neutralization. The loops were cloned into a HXB2 envelope with a LAI viral backbone. It was observed that the addition of the late-stage isolate V1V2 region and the loss of V3-linked glycosylation site in the context of high positive charge gave an X4 phenotype. R5X4 viruses were more sCD4 and 2G12 neutralization resistant than either R5 or X4, but the opposite pattern was observed for b12. Addition of the late stage V1V2 altered neutralization for both MAbs, but this alteration was reversed with the loss of the V3 glycan. Nabatov2004 (antibody binding site, co-receptor)
2G12: Mice susceptible to MV infection were intraperitoneally immunized with native HIV-1 89.6 env gp160 and gp140 and δV3 HIV-1 89.6 mutants expressed in live attenuated Schwarz measles vector (MV). The gp160ΔV3 construct raised more cross-reactive NAbs to primary isolates. A HIVIG/2F5/2G12 combination was used as a positive control and could neutralize all isolates. Lorin2004 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: 2G12 was used as a positive control in a study that showed that A32-rgp120 complexes open up the CCR5 co-receptor binding site, but did not induce neutralizing antibodies with greater breadth among B subtype isolates than did uncomplexed rgp120 in vaccinated guinea pigs. Liao2004 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: A set of oligomeric envelope proteins were made from six primary isolates for potential use as vaccine antigens: 92/UG/037 (clade A), HAN2/2 (clade B), 92/BR25/025 (clade C), 92/UG/021 (clade D), 93/BR/029 (clade F) and MVP5180 (clade O). This was one of a panel of MAbs used to explore folding and exposure of well characterized epitopes. The clade C isolate BR25 is apparently misfolded, as conformation-dependent antibodies did not bind to it. 2G12 bound to clade A, B, D and F HIV-1 primary isolates. Polyclonal sera raised in rabbits against these antigens cross-bound the other antigens, but none of the sera had neutralizing activity. Jeffs2004 (vaccine antigen design, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The peptide 12p1 (RINNIPWSEAMM) inhibits direct binding of YU2 gp120 or Env trimer to CD4, CCR5 and MAb 17b in a concentration-dependent allosteric manner. 12p1 is thought to bind to unbound gp120 near the CD4 binding site, with a 1:1 stoichiometry. 12p1 also inhibited MAb F105 binding; presumably because F105 favors an unactivated conformation, but not MAbs 2G12 or b12. The 1:1 stoichiometry, the fact that the peptide binding site is accessible on the trimer, the non-CD4 like aspect of the binding, and an ability to inhibit viral infection in cell cultures make it a promising lead for therapeutic design. Biorn2004
2G12: This paper is a review of anti-HIV-1 Envelope antibodies. This unique epitope is formed from carbohydrates. The mechanism of MAb neutralization is thought to be steric inhibition of CCR5 binding. 2G12 neutralizes many TCLA strains and about 40% of primary isolates tested. Gorny2003 (review)
2G12: A gp120 molecule was designed to focus the immune response onto the IgG1b12 epitope. Ala substitutions that enhance the binding of IgG1b12 and reduce the binding of non-neutralizing MAbs were combined with additional N-linked glycosylation site sequons inhibiting binding of non-neutralizing MAbs; b12 bound to the mutated gp120. C1 and C5 were also removed, but this compromised b12 binding. Pantophlet2003b (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: scFv 4KG5 reacts with a conformational epitope. Of a panel of MAbs tested, only NAb b12 enhanced 4KG5 binding to gp120. MAbs to the V2 loop, V3 loop, V3-C4 region, and CD4BS diminished binding, while MAbs directed against C1, CD4i, C5 regions didn't impact 4KG5 binding. These results suggest that the orientation or dynamics of the V1/V2 and V3 loops restricts CD4BS access on the envelope spike, and IgG1b12 can uniquely remain unaffected. 2G12 had no impact on 4KG5 binding. Zwick2003a (antibody interactions)
2G12: The broadly neutralizing antibodies 2F5 and 2G12 were class-switched from IgG to IgA and IgM isotypes. Neutralizing potency was increased with valence for 2G12 so the IgM form was most potent, but for 2F5 the IgG form was most potent. Eight primary isolates were tested including two subtype A isolates. The polymeric IgM and IgA Abs, but not the corresponding IgGs, could interfere with HIV-1 entry across a mucosal epithelial layer, although they were limited in a standard neutralization assay. All isotypes could interact with activated human sera, presumably through complement, to inhibit HIV replication. Wolbank2003 (complement, genital and mucosal immunity, isotype switch, variant cross-reactivity, subtype comparisons)
2G12: The antiviral response to intravenously administered MAbs 2F5 and 2G12 was evaluated in 7 HAART-naïve asymptomatic HIV-1 infected patients during a treatment period of 28 days. MAb therapy reduced plasma HIV RNA in 3/7 patients during the treatment period, and transiently reduced viral load in two more. CD4 counts were up in 3/7 through day 28, and transiently increased in three more. Vigorous complement activation was observed after 48/56 Ab infusions. Virus derived from 2/7 patients could be neutralized by 2G12, and escape from 2G12 was observed in both cases after infusion; one year after the infusion, isolates were again sensitive to 2G12. Stiegler2002 (complement, variant cross-reactivity, escape, immunotherapy)
2G12: Env genes derived from uncultured brain biopsy samples from four HIV-1 infected patients with late-stage AIDS were compared to env genes from PBMC samples. Brain isolates did not differ in the total number or positions of N-glycosylation sites, patterns of coreceptor usage, or ability to be recognized by gp160 and gp41 MAbs. 2G12 was the only MAb tested to recognize all blood and brain isolates from all four patients by gp120 immunoprecipitation. Ohagen2003 (variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: AC10 is a subject who was given treatment early after infection, and had a viral rebound after cessation of therapy, which then declined to a low level. The polyclonal sera from AC10 could potently neutralize the rebound virus, and NAb escape followed with a neutralizing response against the escape variant and subsequent escape from that response. Viral loads remained low in this subject despite escape. The rebound isolate that was potently neutralized by autologous sera was not particularly neutralization sensitive, as it resisted neutralization by sCD4 and MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12 and 2F5, and was only moderately sensitive to sera from other HIV+ individuals that had high titers of NAbs to TCLA strains. Montefiori2003 (acute/early infection, escape)
2G12: Polyclonal Abs raised against soluble trivalently linked N35CCG-N13 and N34CCG, the internal trimeric core of the coiled-coil ectodomain, inhibit HIV-1 Env-mediated cell fusion at levels comparable to 2G12. Louis2003 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Thermodynamics of binding to gp120 was measured using isothermal titration calorimetry for sCD4, 17b, b12, 48d, F105, 2G12 and C11 to intact YU2 and the HXBc2 core. The free energy of binding was similar, except for 2G12, which might not have bound well to the carbohydrate additions on the Drosophila expressed core. Enthalpy and entropy changes were divergent, but compensated. Not only CD4 but MAb ligands induced thermodynamic changes in gp120 that were independent of whether the core or the full gp120 protein was used. Non-neutralizing CD4BS and CD4i MAbs (17b, 48d, 1.5e, b6, F105 and F91) had large entropy contributions to free energy (mean: 26.1 kcal/mol) of binding to the gp120 monomer, but the potent CD4BS neutralizing MAb b6 had a much smaller value of 5.7 kcal/mol. The high values suggest surface burial or protein folding an ordering of amino acids. 2G12 had an entropy value of -1.6. These results suggest that while the trimeric Env complex has four surfaces, a non-neutralizing face (occluded on the oligomer), a variable face, a neutralizing face and a silent face (protected by carbohydrate masking), gp120 monomers further protect receptor binding sites by conformational or entropic masking, requiring a large energy handicap for Ab binding not faced by other anti-gp120 Abs. Kwong2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5 and 4E10 were tested for their ability to neutralize two primary HIV-1 clade A isolates (UG/92/031 and UG/92/037) and two primary HIV-1 clade D isolates (UG/92/001 and UG/92/005). 4E10 demonstrated the most potent cross-neutralization activity. Quadruple administration of MAbs IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5, and 4E10 induced strong synergistic neutralization of 4 clade A isolates (UG/92/031, UG/92/037, RW/92/020 and RW/92/025) as well as 5 clade D isolates (UG/92/001,UG/9/005, /93/086/RUG/94/108, UG/94/114). The authors note this combination of 4 MAbs neutralizes primary HIV A, B, C, and D isolates. Kitabwalla2003 (antibody interactions, immunoprophylaxis, variant cross-reactivity, mother-to-infant transmission, subtype comparisons)
2G12: This paper shows that binding of CD4BS MAbs to Env blocks the conformational shift that allows co-receptor CCR5 binding and CD4-independent mediated cell fusion. CD4BS MAbs IgG1b12, F91 and F105 and their Fab counterparts (except for C11, used as a negative control) inhibited CD4-independent JR-FL and YU-2 gp120-CCR5 binding to CCR5-expressing Cf2Th cells and syncytium formation. The carbohydrated binding MAb 2G12 also inhibited CD4-independent syncytium formation. Raja2003 (co-receptor)
2G12: To begin to design vaccine antigens that can mimic the carbohydrate structure, the gp120 peptide 336-342 was synthesized with Man(9), Man(6), and Man(5) moieties attached. Singh2003 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Review of current neutralizing antibody-based HIV vaccine candidates and strategies of vaccine design. Strategies for targeting of the epitopes for NAbs 2F5, 2G12, 4E10, b12, and Z13 are described. They have shown that both N-glycans, at 295N and 332N are required for 2G12 binding, emphasizing the oligosaccharide cluster nature of the epitope, and suggest the uniqueness of the target structure may not result in autoimmune reactions. Wang2003 (vaccine antigen design, review)
2G12: Most plasma samples of patients from early infection had NAb responses to early autologous viruses, and NAbs against heterologous strains tended to be delayed. Serial plasma samples were tested against serial isolates, and neutralization escape was shown to be rapid and continuous throughout infection. Autologous neutralization-susceptible and resistant viruses from four patients were tested for susceptibility to neutralizing Ab responses using MAbs 2G12, IgG1b12 and 2F5. No correlation was established, all viruses tested were susceptible to at least one of the neutralizing MAbs. Two patients that did not have an autologous NAb response also did not evolve changes in susceptibility to these MAbs, while one patient with a pattern of autologous neutralization and escape acquired a 2G12 sensitive virus at month 6, and lost IgG1b12 sensitivity at month 21. Richman2003 (autologous responses, acute/early infection, escape)
2G12: This review discusses the importance and function of protective antibody responses in animal model studies in the context of effective vaccine development. SHIV models have shown protection using high levels of MAbs can prevent infection, and partial protection that can influence disease course can be obtained from modest levels of NAbs. SHIV challenges studies conducted with infusions of combinations of MAbs b12, 2G12, and 2F5 are reviewed. Mascola2003a (immunoprophylaxis, review)
2G12: This study investigates the effects of glycosylation inhibitors on the binding between HIV-1 gp120 and mannose-binding lectin (MBL). Mannosidase I inhibitor deoxymannojirimycin (dMM) inhibits formation of complex and hybrid N-linked saccharides and yields virus with more mannose residues. dMM added during viral production significantly enhanced the binding 2F5 and 2G12, but not IgG1b12 in a viral capture assay. Hart2003 (antibody binding site)
2G12: UK1-br and MACS2-br are R5 isolates derived from brain tissue samples from AIDS patients with dementia and HIV-1 encephalitis; both are neurotropic, but only UK1-br induced neuronal apoptosis and high levels of syncytium formation in macrophages. UK1-br Env had a greater affinity for CCR5 than MACS-br, and required low levels of CCR5 and CD4 for cell-to-cell fusion and single round infection. PBMC infected with UK1-br and MACS2-br virus isolates were resistant to neutralization by MAb 2G12. UK1-br was more sensitive than MACS2-br to IgG1b12, 2F5 and CD4-IgG2 neutralization. Gorry2002 (brain/CSF, co-receptor)
2G12: Four newborn macaques were challenged with pathogenic SHIV 89.6 and given post exposure prophylaxis using a combination of NAbs 2F5, 2G12, 4E10 and IgG1b12. 2/4 treated animals did not show signs of infection, and 2/4 macaques maintained normal CD4+ T cell counts and had a lower delayed peak viremia compared to the controls. Ferrantelli2003 (immunoprophylaxis, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: A sCD4-17b single chain chimera was made that can bind to the CD4 binding site, then bind and block co-receptor interaction. This chimeric protein is a very potent neutralizing agent, more potent than IgG1b12, 2G12 or 2F5 against Ba-L infection of CCR5-MAGI cells. It has potential for prophylaxis or therapy. Dey2003 (co-receptor)
2G12:The MAb B4e8 binds to the base of the V3 loop, neutralizes multiple primary isolates and was studied for interaction with other MAbs. B4e8 and 2G12 enhanced each other's binding, and gave synergistic neutralization. B4e8 could neutralize R5X4 virus 92HT593 better than 2G12, while 2G12 was better at neutralizing R5 virus 92US660. Cavacini2003 (antibody interactions)
2G12: This study examined Ab interactions, binding and neutralization with a B clade R5 isolate (92US660) and R5X4 isolate (92HT593). Abs generally bound and neutralized the R5X4 isolate better than the R5 isolate. Anti-gp41 MAb F240 did not affect binding of 2G12 to either R5X4 and R5 isolates, and anti-V3 MAb B4a1 increased 2G12 binding to R5X4 virions but not R5. Neutralization with B4al and 2G12 was additive for the R5X4 virus, and was enhanced for the R5 virus. Cavacini2002 (antibody interactions, co-receptor, variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: Neutralization assays with rsCD4, MAbs, and serum samples from SHIV-infected macaques and HIV-1 infected individuals were used to characterize the antigenic properties of the env glycoprotein of six primary isolate-like or TCLA SHIV variants. 2G12 neutralized the five SHIV strains tested, HXBc2, KU2, 89.6, 89.6P and KB9, in MT-2 cells. Crawford1999 (variant cross-reactivity)
2G12: The SOS mutant envelope protein introduces a covalent disulfide bond between gp120 surface and gp41 transmembrane proteins into the R5 isolate JR-FL by adding cysteines at residues 501 and 605. Pseudovirions bearing this protein bind to CD4 and co-receptor bearing cells, but do not fuse until treatment with a reducing agent, and are arrested prior to fusion after CD4 and co-receptor engagement. 2G12 is able to neutralize both the wildtype and SOS protein comparably, but 2G12 could not neutralize SOS when added post-attachment. Binley2003 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: IgG1b12 neutralized many South African (5/8) and Malawian (4/8) clade C primary HIV-1 isolates, being more effective than 2F5 which neutralized only two Malawian and no South African isolates. 2G12 did not neutralize any of the 16 isolates. Bures2002 (subtype comparisons)
2G12: SOS-Env is a mutant protein engineered to have a disulfide bond between gp120 and gp41. Cells expressing SOS-Env due not fuse with target cells expressing CD4 and CCR5, although the fusion process proceeds to an intermediate state associated with CD4 and co-receptors, prior to the formation of the six helix bundle that allows fusion.2G12 was used to monitor surface expression of SOS-Env compared to wildtype.

2G12: 2G12 was used as a positive control to test for a NAb activity in mice intranasally immunized with gp120 or gp140 with IL-12 and Cholera Toxin B. Albu2003
2G12: NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program: 1476.
2G12: UK Medical Research council AIDS reagent: ARP3030.
2G12: CD4BS MAbs b12 (neutralizing) and 205-42-15, 204-43-1, 205-46-9 (non-neutralizing) all cross-competed for binding to monomeric gp120, indicating the topological proximity of their epitopes, however, the non-neutralizing CD4BS MAbs did not interfere with the neutralization activity of MAb b12 -- 2G12 was used to normalize and as a control in these experiments. Herrera2003 (antibody interactions)
2G12: Alanine scanning mutagenesis was used to compare substitutions that affected anti-CD4BS NAb b12 -- rec gp120s were engineered to contain combinations of Alanine substitutions that enhanced b12 binding, and while binding of b12 to these gp120 monomers was generally maintained or increased, binding by five non-neutralizing anti-CD4bs MAbs (b3, b6, F105, 15e, and F91) was reduced or completely abolished -- 2G12 binding was largely unperturbed, indicating these proteins were not grossly misfolded. Pantophlet2003 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Review of NAbs that discusses mechanisms of neutralization, passive transfer of NAbs and protection in animal studies, and vaccine strategies. Liu2002 (review)
2G12: Review of NAbs that notes 2G12 alone or in combination with other MAbs can protect some macaques against SHIV infection, that it has strong ADCC activity, and that it is safe and well tolerated in humans. Ferrantelli2002 (immunoprophylaxis)
2G12: A rare mutation in the neutralization sensitive R2-strain in the proximal limb of the V3 region caused Env to become sensitive to neutralization by MAbs directed against the CD4 binding site (CD4BS), CD4-induced (CD4i) epitopes, soluble CD4 (sCD4), and HNS2, a broadly neutralizing sera -- 2/12 anti-V3 MAbs tested (19b and 694/98-D) neutralized R2, as did 2/3 anti-CD4BS MAbs (15e and IgG1b12), 2/2 CD4i MAbs (17b and 4.8D), and 2G12 and 2F5 -- thus multiple epitopes on R2 are functional targets for neutralization and the neutralization sensitivity profile of R2 is intermediate between the highly sensitive MN-TCLA strain and the typically resistant MN-primary strain. Zhang2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Rhesus macaques were better protected from vaginal challenge with SHIV89.6D (MAb 2G12, 2/4; MAbs 2F5/2G12, 2/5; and HIVIG/2F5/2G12, 4/5 infected) than from intravenous challenge (MAb 2G12, 0/3; MAbs 2F5/2G12, 1/3; and HIVIG/2F5/2G12, 3/6 infected)-- the animals that were infected by vaginal challenge after Ab infusion had low or undetectable viral RNA levels and modest CD4 T-cell decline. Mascola2002 (genital and mucosal immunity, immunoprophylaxis)
2G12: HIV-1 gp160deltaCT (cytoplasmic tail-deleted) proteoliposomes (PLs) containing native, trimeric envelope glycoproteins from R5 strains YU2 and JRFL, and X4 strain HXBc2, were made in a physiologic membrane setting as candidate immunogens for HIV vaccines -- 2F5 bound to gp160deltaCT with a reconstituted membrane ten-fold better than the same protein on beads, while such an affinity difference was not seen with F105 and 2G12 -- anti-CD4BS MAbs IgG1b12 and F105, A32 (C1-C4), C11 (C1-C5), and 39F (V3) MAbs bound gp160deltaCT PLs indistinguishably from gp160deltaCT expressed on the cell surface. Grundner2002 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Truncation of the gp41 cytoplasmic domain of X4, R5, and X4R5 viruses forces a conformation that more closely resembles the CD4 bound state of the external Envelope, enhancing binding of CD4i MAbs 17b and 48d and of CD4BS MAbs F105, b12, and in most cases of glycosylation site dependent MAb 2G12 and the anti-gp41 MAb 246D -- in contrast, binding of the anti-V2 MAb 697D and the anti-V3 MAb 694/98D were not affected -- viruses bearing the truncation were more sensitive to neutralization by MAbs 48d, b12, and 2G12 -- the anti-C5 MAb 1331A was used to track levels of cell surface expression of the mutated proteins. EdwardsBH2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: A modified gp140 (gp140deltaCFI), with C-term mutations intended to mimic a fusion intermediate and stabilize trimer formation, retained antigenic conformational determinants as defined by binding to CD4 and to MAbs 2F5, 2G12, F105, and b12, and enhanced humoral immunity without diminishing the CTL response in mice injected with a DNA vaccine. Chakrabarti2002 (vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Passive immunization of neonate macaques with a combination of F105+2G12+2F5 conferred complete protection against oral challenge with SHIV-vpu+ or -- the combination b12+2G12+2F5 conferred partial protection against SHIV89.6 -- such combinations may be useful for prophylaxis at birth and against milk born transmission -- the synergistic combination of IgG1b12, 2G12, 2F5, and 4E10 neutralized a collection of HIV clade C primary isolates. Xu2002 (antibody interactions, immunoprophylaxis, mother-to-infant transmission)
2G12: Uncleaved soluble gp140 (YU2 strain, R5 primary isolate) can be stabilized in an oligomer by fusion with a C-term trimeric GCN4 motif or using a T4 trimeric motif derived from T4 bacteriophage fibritin -- stabilized oligomer gp140 delta683(-FT) showed strong preferential recognition by NAbs IgG1b12 and 2G12 relative to the gp120 monomer, in contrast to poorly neutralizing MAbs F105, F91, 17b, 48d, and 39F which showed reduced levels of binding, and MAbs C11, A32, and 30D which did not bind the stabilized oligomer. Yang2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Ab binding characteristics of SOS gp140 were tested using SPR and RIPA -- SOS gp140 is gp120-gp41 bound by a disulfide bond -- NAbs 2G12, 2F5, IgG1b12, CD4 inducible 17b, and 19b bound to SOS gp140 better than uncleaved gp140 (gp140unc) and gp120 -- non-neutralizing MAbs 2.2B (binds to gp41 in gp140unc) and 23A (binds gp120) did not bind SOS gp140 -- 2G12 complexes with SOS gp140 or with gp120 had a very unusual linear structure. Schulke2002 (antibody binding site, vaccine antigen design)
2G12: Alanine scanning mutagenesis used in conjunction with competition and replacement studies of N-linked carbohydrates and sugars suggest that the 2G12 epitope is formed from mannose residues contributed by the glycans attached to N295 and N332, with the other N-linked carbohydrates in positions N339, N386, and N392 playing a role in maintaining conformation relevant to 2G12 binding -- N295A and N332A mutants showed essentially unchanged anti-CD4BS NAb b12 binding affinities, while N339A, N386A and N392A mutants displayed significantly lowered b12 affinity, presumably due to conformational changes. Scanlan2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The 2G12 epitope is composed of carbohydrates involving high-mannose and hybrid glycans of residues 295, 332, and 392, with peripheral glycans from 386 and 448 contributing on either flank, and with little direct gp120 protein surface involvement -- these mannose residues are proximal to each other near the chemokine receptor binding surface. Sanders2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: The fusion process was slowed by using a suboptimal temperature (31.5 C) to re-evaluate the potential of Abs targeting fusion intermediates to block HIV entry -- preincubation of E/T cells at 31.5 C enabled polyclonal anti-N-HR Ab and anti-six-helix bundle Abs to inhibit fusion, indicating six-helix bundles form prior to fusion -- the preincubation 31.5 C step did not alter the inhibitory activity of neutralizing Abs anti-gp41 2F5, or anti-gp120 2G12, IG1b12, 48d, and 17b. GoldingH2002 (antibody binding site)
2G12: A phase I trial in seven HIV+ individuals was conducted with MAbs 2F5 and 2G12 -- no clinical or laboratory abnormalities were observed throughout the study -- eight infusions were administered over a 4-week period (total dose 14 g) -- the elimination half-life (t_1/2) was calculated to be 7.94 (range, 3.46--8.31) days for 2F5 and 16.48 (range, 12.84--24.85) days for 2G12. Armbruster2002 (kinetics, immunotherapy)
2G12: Chloroquine reduces the HIV-1-infectivity of H9 IIIB cells, apparently through altering the conformation of envelope -- there is a reduction of reactivity of 2G12 to its epitope in chloroquine treated cultures. Savarino2001 (antibody binding site)
2G12: Twenty HIV clade C isolates from five diff
