HIV-1 Neutralizing Antibodies with Limited Hypermutation from an Infant

Abstract: SUMMARY HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) develop in a subset of infected adults and exhibit high levels of somatic hypermutation (SHM) due to years of affinity maturation. There is no precedent for eliciting highly mutated antibodies by vaccination, nor is it practical to wait years for a desired response. Infants develop broad responses early, which may suggest a more direct path to generating bnAbs. Here, we isolated ten neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) contributing to plasma breadth of an infant … Show more

“…While the V3-glycan epitope centers on the glycan at N332, high-mannose glycans at other positions can variably be involved in the bnAb epitope (4649). Such diversity is reflected in crystal and electron microscopy structures by different angles of approaches of individual V3-glycan bnAbs (24, 28,45,46,4850) (Wilson and Ward, this volume). The V3-glycan bnAb class is of interest for vaccine development because it does not require extensive somatic hypermutation to develop neutralization breadth.…”

“…The V3-glycan bnAb class is of interest for vaccine development because it does not require extensive somatic hypermutation to develop neutralization breadth. Indeed, V3-glycan neutralizing antibodies with limited levels of somatic mutation but neutralization breadth have been recently described in an adult (20), and as well, in an infant within 1 year from infection (28). Finally, the composition of the core epitope (4 amino acids and a high mannose glycan at position N332) has facilitated the synthesis of a minimal bnAb epitope construct (Alam S.M.…”
