CD4-independent HIV-1 variants can infect coreceptor-expressing cells lacking CD4. The envelope (Env) glycoproteins on these HIV-1 variants expose a coreceptor binding site that overlaps some CD4-induced (CD4i) epitopes. Reports have demonstrated that CD4i antibodies mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Here we investigated the immunogenicity of soluble Env trimers (sgp140) from a CD4-independent HIV-1 in guinea pigs and found that the sgp140 elicited ADCC-mediating antibodies. Therefore, these sgp140 might be useful in vaccine regimens aimed at eliciting ADCC responses.
不依赖CD4的HIV-1变体可以感染缺乏CD4但表达共受体的细胞。这些HIV-1变体上的包膜(Env)糖蛋白暴露出一个与一些CD4诱导(CD4i)表位重叠的共受体结合位点。报告表明,CD4i抗体介导抗体依赖性细胞毒性(ADCC)。在此,我们研究了来自不依赖CD4的HIV-1的可溶性Env三聚体(sgp140)在豚鼠中的免疫原性,发现sgp140可引发介导ADCC的抗体。因此,这些sgp140可能有助于旨在引发ADCC反应的疫苗方案。
