Abstract excerpt
Based on the fact that monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2F5 recognizing ELDKWA-epitope on HIV-1 gp41 separately or in combination with other mAbs showed potent neutralizing activity to a wide range of primary HIV-1 isolates in vivo and in vitro, but this epitope undergoes restricted mutation. ELNKWA is a neutralizing-resistant mutated epitope. We induced ELNKWA-epitope-specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies and...
