Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The high-affinity humanized monoclonal antibody (MAb) KD-247 reacts with a tip region in gp120-V3 and cross-neutralizes primary isolates with a matching neutralization sequence motif. METHODS: We induced an HIV-1 variant that was resistant to KD-247 by exposing the JR-FL virus to increasing concentrations of KD-247 in PM1/CCR5 cells, which expressed high levels of CCR5 in vitro. We determined the...
