Decrypting the B cell ontogeny of HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) is paramount for vaccine design. Here, we characterized IgA and IgG bNAbs of three distinct B cell lineages in a viremic controller, two of which comprised only IgG+ or IgA+ blood memory B cells; the third combined both IgG and IgA clonal variants. 7-269 bNAb in the IgA-only lineage displayed the highest neutralizing capacity despite limited somatic mutation, and delayed viral rebound in humanized mice. bNAbs in all three lineages targeted the N332 glycan supersite. The 2.8-Å resolution cryo-EM structure of 7-269-BG505 SOSIP.664 complex showed a similar pose as 2G12, on an epitope mainly composed of sugar residues comprising the N332 and N295 glycans. Binding and cryo-EM structural analyses showed that antibodies from the two other lineages interact mostly with glycans N332 and N386. Hence, multiple B cell lineages of IgG and IgA bNAbs focused on a unique HIV-1 site of vulnerability can codevelop in HIV-1 viremic controllers.
解析 HIV-1 广谱中和抗体 (bNAb) 的 B 细胞发生过程对于疫苗设计至关重要。在这里,我们对一名病毒血症控制者的三种不同 B 细胞谱系中的 IgA 和 IgG bNAb 进行了特征分析,其中两种仅包含 IgG+或 IgA+血液记忆 B 细胞;第三种则结合了 IgG 和 IgA 克隆变体。尽管 IgA 谱系中的 7-269 bNAb 的体细胞突变有限,但它具有最高的中和能力,并在人源化小鼠中延迟了病毒反弹。所有三种谱系的 bNAb 均靶向 N332 聚糖超位点。7-269-BG505 SOSIP.664 复合物的 2.8-Å 分辨率冷冻电镜结构显示出与 2G12 相似的构象,其表位主要由包含 N332 和 N295 聚糖的糖残基组成。结合和冷冻电镜结构分析表明,来自另外两个谱系的抗体主要与 N332 和 N386 聚糖相互作用。因此,HIV-1 病毒血症控制者中可共同开发针对 HIV-1 脆弱性独特位点的 IgG 和 IgA bNAb 的多个 B 细胞谱系。
