Identification and Characterization of a Peptide That Specifically Binds the Human, Broadly Neutralizing Anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Antibody b12
15 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human monoclonal antibody (MAb) b12 recognizes a conformational epitope that overlaps the CD-4-binding site of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope. MAb b12 neutralizes a broad range of HIV-1 primary isolates and protects against primary virus challenge in animal models. We report here the discovery and characterization of B2.1, a peptide that binds specifically to MAb b12. B2.1 was selected...
