    Beschreibung: Despite the success of potent anti-retroviral drugs in controlling human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, little progress has been made in generating an effective HIV-1 vaccine. Although passive transfer of anti-HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies can protect mice or macaques against a single high-dose challenge with HIV or simian/human (SIV/HIV) chimaeric viruses (SHIVs) respectively, the long-term efficacy of a passive antibody transfer approach for HIV-1 has not been examined. Here we show, on the basis of the relatively long-term protection conferred by hepatitis A immune globulin, the efficacy of a single injection (20 mg kg(-1)) of four anti-HIV-1-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (VRC01, VRC01-LS, 3BNC117, and 10-1074 (refs 9 - 12)) in blocking repeated weekly low-dose virus challenges of the clade B SHIVAD8. Compared with control animals, which required two to six challenges (median = 3) for infection, a single broadly neutralizing antibody infusion prevented virus acquisition for up to 23 weekly challenges. This effect depended on antibody potency and half-life. The highest levels of plasma-neutralizing activity and, correspondingly, the longest protection were found in monkeys administered the more potent antibodies 3BNC117 and 10-1074 (median = 13 and 12.5 weeks, respectively). VRC01, which showed lower plasma-neutralizing activity, protected for a shorter time (median = 8 weeks). The introduction of a mutation that extends antibody half-life into the crystallizable fragment (Fc) domain of VRC01 increased median protection from 8 to 14.5 weeks. If administered to populations at high risk of HIV-1 transmission, such an immunoprophylaxis regimen could have a major impact on virus transmission.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gautam, Rajeev -- Nishimura, Yoshiaki -- Pegu, Amarendra -- Nason, Martha C -- Klein, Florian -- Gazumyan, Anna -- Golijanin, Jovana -- Buckler-White, Alicia -- Sadjadpour, Reza -- Wang, Keyun -- Mankoff, Zachary -- Schmidt, Stephen D -- Lifson, Jeffrey D -- Mascola, John R -- Nussenzweig, Michel C -- Martin, Malcolm A -- AI-100148/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HHSN261200800001E/PHS HHS/ -- UM1 AI100663-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2016 May 5;533(7601):105-9. doi: 10.1038/nature17677.

    Notizen: Abstract The study was carried out on 16 men (aged 20–30 years) to evaluate daily metabolic responses during the early phase of altitude acclimatization at moderate altitudes between 3100 and 4200 m in the Eastern Himalayas. Resting (R) and submaximal exercise (E) oxygen consumption (|VO2) at 100 W at sea level (SL) were 3.25 (SEM 0.15) and 20.31 (SEM 0.77) ml/kg per min respectively. On day 1 at 3110 m both R and E |VO2 decreased (P〈0.001) and subsequently remained constant. At 3445 m these values tended to increase over the 3110 m values but were lower than the SL values. At 4177 m the decline in |VO2 was significantly greater (P〈0.01) than at the preceding altitudes. Pulmonary ventilation (|VE) increased consistently (P〈0.001) with increase in altitude. The arterial oxygen saturation (S a O2) at different altitudes was lower (P〈0.001) than SL values. The cardiac frequency (f C ) at R and E was higher (P〈0.001) at altitude; the values at 3110 and 3445 m were significantly lower (P〈0.001) than at 4177 m. Blood pressure (BP) increased (P〈0.001) on the first day at each altitude. The systolic BP tended to decline towards SL values but the diastolic BP remained high (P〈0.001) throughout. The resting blood lactic acid concentration, [la −] bl , showed a decline (P〈0.001) only at 4177 m. The [la −] bl at E was similar at 3110 and 3445 m but was higher (P〈0.01) at 4177 m. These observations suggest that acclimatization to a mid-altitude of 3445 m can be safely avoided where rapid ascent to higher altitude is required.
