Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The human monoclonal antibodies (mAb) 2F5, 2G12, and 4E10 are three of the most broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1. Although they have been shown to prevent de novo infection in vivo, their potential for treatment of chronic infection is less clear. One major obstacle may be the emergence of resistant viruses during mAb treatment. DESIGN: To assess whether escape mutants can be generated in...
