摘要:
The present application relates novel HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies. The antibodies of the present invention are further characterized by their ability to bind epitopes from the Env proteins. The invention also provides light and heavy chain variable region sequences. Compositions for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection are provided.
摘要:
Antibody VRC01 represents a human immunoglobulin that neutralizes—˜90% of diverse HIV-1 isolates. To understand how such broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies develop and recognize the viral envelope, we used X-ray crystallography and 454 pyrosequencing to characterize additional antibodies from HIV-1-infected individuals. Crystal structures revealed a convergent mode of binding of different antibodies to the same CD4-binding-site epitope. Antibody recognition was achieved through the evolution of complementary contact domains that were generated in diverse ways. Phylogenetic analysis of expressed heavy and light chains determined by deep sequencing revealed a common pathway of antibody heavy chain maturation confined to IGHV1-2*02 lineage that could pair with different light chains. The maturation pathway inferred by antibodyomics reveals that diverse antibodies evolve to a highly affinity-matured state to recognize an invariant viral structure, providing insight into the development and evolution of broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity.
