Abstract

A monoclonal antibody (694/98-D) directed toward the V3 loop of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was evaluated for pre- and postexposure prophylaxis in SCID mice reconstituted with human peripheral blood lymphocytes (Hu-PBL-SCID). Fifty percent protection against the HIV-1LAI strain was obtained by preexposure administration of 1.32 mg/kg antibody. However, virus isolated from 1 mouse 3 weeks after passive immunization with 13.2 mg/kg antibody proved resistant to subsequent in vitro neutralization by 694/98-D. V3 loop sequence analysis of cloned virus revealed amino acid changes within the linear core epitope recognized by 694/98-D and in one flanking amino acid. Further evaluation of 694/98-D for postexposure prophylaxis in mice revealed that 694/ 98-D was effective when given 15 min after virus. However, efficacy declined to 50% if treatment was delayed to 1 h after virus inoculation. These studies point out some potential drawbacks of passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
