Infectious virion capture by HIV-1 gp120-specific IgG from RV144 vaccinees.
Abstract
The detailed examination of the antibody repertoire from RV144 provides a unique template
for understanding potentially protective antibody functions. Some potential immune
correlates of protection were untested in the correlates analyses due to inherent
assay limitations, as well as the need to keep the correlates analysis focused on
a limited number of endpoints to achieve statistical power. In an RV144 pilot study,
we determined that RV144 vaccination elicited antibodies that could bind infectious
virions (including the vaccine strains HIV-1 CM244 and HIV-1 MN and an HIV-1 strain
expressing transmitted/founder Env, B.WITO.c). Among vaccinees with the highest IgG
binding antibody profile, the majority (78%) captured the infectious vaccine strain
virus (CM244), while a smaller proportion of vaccinees (26%) captured HIV-1 transmitted/founder
Env virus. We demonstrated that vaccine-elicited HIV-1 gp120 antibodies of multiple
specificities (V3, V2, conformational C1, and gp120 conformational) mediated capture
of infectious virions. Although capture of infectious HIV-1 correlated with other
humoral immune responses, the extent of variation between these humoral responses
and virion capture indicates that virion capture antibodies occupy unique immunological
space.

Research Interests.
The Alam laboratory’s primary research is focused on understanding the biophysical
properties of antigen-antibody binding and the molecular events of early B cell activation
using the HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) lineage models. We are studying
how HIV-1 Envelope proteins of varying affinities are sensed by B cells expressing
HIV-1 bnAbs or their germline antigen receptors and initiate early signaling events
for their activation. In the lon
