Cross-Clade HIV-1 Neutralizing Antibodies Induced with V3-Scaffold Protein Immunogens following Priming with gp120 DNA
27 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The V3 epitope is a known target for HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), and V3-scaffold fusion proteins used as boosting immunogens after gp120 DNA priming were previously shown to induce NAbs in rabbits. Here, we evaluated whether the breadth and potency of the NAb response could be improved when boosted with rationally designed V3-scaffold immunogens. Rabbits were primed with codon-optimized clade C gp120...
