Anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have revealed vaccine targets on the virus's envelope (Env) protein and are themselves promising immunotherapies. The efficacy of bnAb-based therapies and vaccines depends in part on how readily the virus can escape neutralization. Although structural studies can define contacts between bnAbs and Env, only functional studies can define mutations that confer escape. Here, we mapped how all possible single amino acid mutations in Env affect neutralization of HIV by nine bnAbs targeting five epitopes. For most bnAbs, mutations at only a small fraction of structurally defined contact sites mediated escape, and most escape occurred at sites near, but not in direct contact with, the antibody. The Env mutations selected by two pooled bnAbs were similar to those expected from the combination of the bnAbs's independent action. Overall, our mutation-level antigenic atlas provides a comprehensive dataset for understanding viral immune escape and refining therapies and vaccines.
抗 HIV 广谱中和抗体(bnAbs)揭示了病毒包膜(Env)蛋白上的疫苗靶点,本身也是很有前途的免疫疗法。bnAb 为基础的治疗和疫苗的疗效部分取决于病毒逃避中和的难易程度。尽管结构研究可以确定 bnAb 与 Env 之间的接触,但只有功能研究才能确定赋予逃逸能力的突变。在这里,我们绘制了 Env 中所有可能的单个氨基酸突变如何影响九种针对五个表位的 bnAb 对 HIV 的中和作用。对于大多数 bnAbs,只有结构定义的接触位点的一小部分突变介导逃逸,并且大多数逃逸发生在抗体附近但不直接接触的位点。两种组合 bnAbs 选择的 Env 突变与预期的 bnAbs 独立作用的组合相似。总的来说,我们的突变水平抗原图谱为理解病毒免疫逃逸和改进治疗和疫苗提供了一个全面的数据集。
