Article Title: Effects and mechanisms of monoclonal and polyclonal human antibodies in protection of humanized mice from HIV-1 challenge
doi: 10.1101/2025.11.12.688003
Figure Lengend Snippet: A-F . In vitro antibody activities. A. Binding of pooled human serum polyclonal IgG from seronegative donors (IVIG), seropositive donors (HIVIG), from a single seropositive donor (HIV-008), as compared to VRC01 to recombinant gp120 TRO. B. Neutralization potency against RHPA in TZM-BL assay. C-F. Effector function of pAbs in phagocytosis ( C ), ADCC defined by FcγRIIIa activation ( D ), complement deposition ( E ), and complement-dependent viral lysis ( F ) assays. Error bars indicate standard deviation. G. Study design. One batch of S15-CD34 mice was serially challenged intraperitoneally (IP) with a cocktail of RHPA virus and pAb as illustrated. Animals in the IVIG plus VRC01 group were randomized to either IVIG or HIV-008 after the second challenge. H-J . Detection of viral RNA over time by ( H ) treatment group and ( J ) per intervention. Dotted horizontal line indicates limit of detection. Animals per group are indicated in inset. I . Kaplan-Meier curve of infection over time. Results from the third challenge of animals re-randomized from the IVIG plus VRC01 group after the second challenge were included with newly assigned groups at challenge one. Statistical significance of IVIG plus VRC01 and HIV-008 treatment compared to IVIG defined by log-rank test. Censored animals indicated by symbols. Dotted vertical lines indicate times of virus challenge.
Article Snippet: Complement active guinea pig serum [Fisher Scientific] was diluted 1:100 in GVB ++ (Sigma) and added to the assay plate and incubated for 30 mins at 37°C.
