Induction of protective antibodies is a critical goal of HIV-1 vaccine development. One strategy is to induce nonneutralizing antibodies (NNAbs) that kill virus-infected cells, as these antibody specificities have been implicated in slowing HIV-1 disease progression and in protection. HIV-1 Env constant region 1 and 2 (C1C2) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) frequently mediate potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), making them an important vaccine target. Here, we explore the effect of delayed and repetitive boosting of RV144 vaccine recipients with AIDSVAX B/E on the C1C2-specific MAb repertoire. It was found that boosting increased clonal lineage-specific ADCC breadth and potency. A ligand crystal structure of a vaccine-induced broad and potent ADCC-mediating C1C2-specific MAb showed that it bound a highly conserved Env gp120 epitope. Thus, boosting to affinity mature these types of IgG C1C2-specific antibody responses may be one method by which to make an improved HIV vaccine with higher efficacy than that seen in the RV144 trial. Over one million people become infected with HIV-1 each year, making the development of an efficacious HIV-1 vaccine an important unmet medical need. The RV144 human HIV-1 vaccine regimen is the only HIV-1 clinical trial to date to demonstrate vaccine efficacy. An area of focus has been on identifying ways by which to improve upon RV144 vaccine efficacy. The RV305 HIV-1 vaccine regimen was a follow-up boost of RV144 vaccine recipients that occurred 6 to 8 years after the conclusion of RV144. Our study focused on the effect of delayed boosting in humans on the vaccine-induced Env constant region 1 and 2 (C1C2)-specific antibody repertoire. It was found that boosting with an HIV-1 Env vaccine increased C1C2-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity potency and breadth.
诱导保护性抗体是 HIV-1 疫苗开发的关键目标。一种策略是诱导非中和抗体 (NNAb),这些抗体可以杀死感染病毒的细胞,因为这些抗体特异性与减缓 HIV-1 疾病进展和保护有关。HIV-1 Env 恒定区 1 和 2 (C1C2) 单克隆抗体 (MAb) 经常介导有效的抗体依赖性细胞毒性 (ADCC),因此成为疫苗的重要目标。在这里,我们探讨了延迟和重复 RV144 疫苗接种者用 AIDSVAX B/E 加强对 C1C2 特异性 MAb 库的影响。结果发现,加强可增加克隆谱系特异性 ADCC 广度和效力。一种疫苗诱导的广谱和有效的 ADCC 介导的 C1C2 特异性 MAb 的配体晶体结构表明,它结合了一个高度保守的 Env gp120 表位。因此,通过加强亲和力来成熟这些类型的 IgG C1C2 特异性抗体反应可能是一种方法,通过该方法可以制造出一种比 RV144 试验中观察到的更有效的 HIV 疫苗。每年有超过 100 万人感染 HIV-1,因此开发有效的 HIV-1 疫苗是一项重要的未满足的医疗需求。RV144 人类 HIV-1 疫苗方案是迄今为止唯一证明疫苗有效性的 HIV-1 临床试验。一个关注的重点是确定如何提高 RV144 疫苗的疗效。RV305 HIV-1 疫苗方案是在 RV144 结束后 6 至 8 年对 RV144 疫苗接种者进行的后续加强。我们的研究重点是延迟加强对人类疫苗诱导的 Env 恒定区 1 和 2 (C1C2) 特异性抗体库的影响。结果发现,用 HIV-1 Env 疫苗加强可提高 C1C2 特异性抗体依赖性细胞毒性效力和广度。
