Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) env genes were cloned from blood samples of HIV-1-infected Thai patients, and 35 infectious CRF01_AE envelope glycoprotein (Env)-recombinant viruses were established. In this report, we examined the neutralization susceptibility of these viruses to human monoclonal antibodies, 2G12, IgG1 b12, 2F5 and 4E10, pooled patient plasma, coreceptor antagonists and fusion inhibitor, T-20. The neutralization susceptibility of CRF01_AE Env-recombinant viruses to 2F5, 4E10, patient plasma, coreceptor antagonists and T-20 varied, while most viruses showed low susceptibility to 2G12 and IgG1 b12. Several dual-tropic viruses showed lower susceptibility to 2F5 and 4E10 than CXCR4- or CCR5-tropic viruses. Neutralization susceptibility of the CRF01_AE Env-recombinant virus to pooled patient plasma was negatively correlated with the length of the V1/V2 region or the number of potential N-linked glycosylation sites in conserved regions of gp120. No correlation was found between the coreceptor usage and neutralization susceptibility of the virus to T-20, whereas several dual-tropic viruses showed higher susceptibility to coreceptor antagonists than CXCR4- or CCR5-tropic viruses. We propose that these CRF01_AE Env-recombinant viruses are useful to further study the molecular mechanism of the susceptibility of CRF01_AE Env to neutralizing antibodies and viral entry inhibitors.
从感染人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)的泰国患者血液样本中克隆出HIV-1 env基因,并构建了35种具有感染性的CRF01_AE包膜糖蛋白(Env)重组病毒。在本报告中,我们检测了这些病毒对人单克隆抗体2G12、IgG1 b12、2F5和4E10、患者混合血浆、共受体拮抗剂以及融合抑制剂T-20的中和敏感性。CRF01_AE Env重组病毒对2F5、4E10、患者血浆、共受体拮抗剂和T-20的中和敏感性各不相同,而大多数病毒对2G12和IgG1 b12表现出低敏感性。几种双嗜性病毒对2F5和4E10的敏感性低于CXCR4或CCR5嗜性病毒。CRF01_AE Env重组病毒对患者混合血浆的中和敏感性与V1/V2区域长度或gp120保守区域潜在N-糖基化位点数量呈负相关。未发现病毒的共受体使用情况与其对T-20的中和敏感性之间存在相关性,而几种双嗜性病毒对共受体拮抗剂的敏感性高于CXCR4或CCR5嗜性病毒。我们认为,这些CRF01_AE Env重组病毒有助于进一步研究CRF01_AE Env对中和抗体和病毒进入抑制剂敏感性的分子机制。
