  1. Abstract:

    An antibody-based HIV-1 vaccine will require the induction of potent cross-reactive HIV-1-neutralizing responses. To demonstrate feasibility toward this goal, we combined vaccination targeting the fusion-peptide site of vulnerability with infection by simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV). In four macaques with vaccine-induced neutralizing responses, SHIV infection boosted plasma neutralization to 45%-77% breadth (geometric mean 50% inhibitory dilution [ID50] ~100) on a 208-strain panel. Molecular dissection of these responses by antibody isolation and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure determination revealed 15 of 16 antibody lineages with cross-clade neutralization to be directed toward the fusion-peptide site of vulnerability. In each macaque, isolated antibodies from memory B cells recapitulated the plasma-neutralizing response, with fusion-peptide-binding antibodies reaching breadths of 40%-60% (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50] < 50 µg/mL) and total lineage-concentrations estimates of 50-200 µg/mL. Longitudinal mapping indicated that these responses arose prior to SHIV infection. Collectively, these results provide in vivo molecular examples for one to a few B cell lineages affording potent, broadly neutralizing plasma responses. Published by Elsevier Inc.
