Dependence on a variable residue limits the breadth of an HIV MPER neutralizing antibody, despite convergent evolution with broadly neutralizing antibodies
2022-03-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that target the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV gp41 envelope, such as 4E10 and VRC42.01, can neutralize >95% of viruses. These two MPER-directed monoclonal antibodies share germline antibody genes ( IGHV1-69 and IGKV3-20) and form a bNAb epitope class. Furthermore, convergent evolution within these two lineages towards a 111.2 GW 111.3...
