Description:
Human antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) can neutralize a broad range of viral isolates in vitro and protect non-human primates against infection. Previous work showed that antibodies exert selective pressure on the virus but escape variants emerge within a short period of time. However, these experiments were performed before the recent discovery of more potent anti-HIV-1 antibodies and their improvement by structure-based design. Here we re-examine passive antibody transfer as a therapeutic modality in HIV-1-infected humanized mice. Although HIV-1 can escape from antibody monotherapy, combinations of broadly neutralizing antibodies can effectively control HIV-1 infection and suppress viral load to levels below detection. Moreover, in contrast to antiretroviral therapy, the longer half-life of antibodies led to control of viraemia for an average of 60 days after cessation of therapy. Thus, combinations of potent monoclonal antibodies can effectively control HIV-1 replication in humanized mice, and should be re-examined as a therapeutic modality in HIV-1-infected individuals.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809838/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809838/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Klein, Florian -- Halper-Stromberg, Ariel -- Horwitz, Joshua A -- Gruell, Henning -- Scheid, Johannes F -- Bournazos, Stylianos -- Mouquet, Hugo -- Spatz, Linda A -- Diskin, Ron -- Abadir, Alexander -- Zang, Trinity -- Dorner, Marcus -- Billerbeck, Eva -- Labitt, Rachael N -- Gaebler, Christian -- Marcovecchio, Paola M -- Incesu, Reha-Baris -- Eisenreich, Thomas R -- Bieniasz, Paul D -- Seaman, Michael S -- Bjorkman, Pamela J -- Ravetch, Jeffrey V -- Ploss, Alexander -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- 1UM1AI100663/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI081677/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI081677/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Dec 6;492(7427):118-22. doi: 10.1038/nature11604.
