Synthetic glycopeptides reveal the glycan specificity of HIV-neutralizing antibodies
A new class of glycan-reactive HIV-neutralizing antibodies, including PG9 and PG16, has been recently discovered that seem to recognize previously uncharacterized glycopeptide epitopes on HIV-1 gp120. However, further characterization and reconstitution of the precise neutralizing epitopes are complicated by the heterogeneity of glycosylation. We report here the design, synthesis and antigenic ...
متن کاملDevelopment of an anti-HIV vaccine eliciting broadly neutralizing antibodies
The extreme HIV diversity posts a great challenge on development of an effective anti-HIV vaccine. To solve this problem, it is crucial to discover an appropriate immunogens and strategies that are able to prevent the transmission of the diverse viruses that are circulating in the world. Even though there have been a number of broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies (bNAbs) been discovered in ...
متن کاملInduction of anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) neutralizing antibodies in rabbits immunized with recombinant HIV--hepatitis B surface antigen particles.
Fragments of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope coding region have been fused with the hepatitis B virus envelope middle protein. In this system, HIV antigenic determinants are exposed at the surface of a highly antigenic structure, the hepatitis B surface antigen particle. Immunization of rabbits with these particles elicited antibodies directed against both parts of the hybrid pr...
متن کاملRecognition of synthetic glycopeptides by HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies and their unmutated ancestors.
Current HIV-1 vaccines elicit strain-specific neutralizing antibodies. Broadly neutralizing antibodies (BnAbs) are not induced by current vaccines, but are found in plasma in ∼20% of HIV-1-infected individuals after several years of infection. One strategy for induction of unfavored antibody responses is to produce homogeneous immunogens that selectively express BnAb epitopes but minimally expr...
متن کاملHIV-1 Envgp140 trimers elicit neutralizing antibodies without efficient induction of conformational antibodies.
Currently, no vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) provides protection from virus infection. One reason for these disappointing results has been the difficulty of current vaccine candidates to elicit high-titer, broadly reactive immunity to a large number of viral proteins. Recently, our laboratory demonstrated that the coupling of C3d to a soluble trimerized HIV-1 envelope (Env(gp1...
