Humanized mice reconstituted with a human immune system can be mucosally infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), opening up the possibility of studying HIV transmission in a small-animal model. Here we report that passive immunization with the broadly neutralizing antibody b12 protected humanized mice against repetitive intravaginal infection in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, treatment with the antibody PGT126, which is more potent in vitro, was more efficacious in vivo and provided sterilizing protection. Our results demonstrate that humanized mice can be used as a small-animal model to study the efficacy and mechanism of broadly neutralizing antibody protection against HIV acquisition.
用人免疫系统重建的人源化小鼠可通过黏膜感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV),这为在小动物模型中研究HIV传播开辟了可能性。在此我们报告,用广泛中和抗体b12进行被动免疫以剂量依赖方式保护人源化小鼠免受重复性阴道内感染。此外,在体外更有效的抗体PGT126治疗在体内更有效,并提供了无菌保护。我们的结果表明,人源化小鼠可作为小动物模型来研究广泛中和抗体预防HIV感染的疗效和机制。
