Abstract

See full text

The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of the invention bind to a neutralizing epitope on the gp120 glycoprotein of HIV-1. The binding seems to be conformation-dependent, in the sense that altering the conformation of gp120 (by deglycosylating the gp120, by reducing the cysteine bonds in the peptide backbone) will inhibit the binding. The mAbs of the invention are group specific and can neutralize different strains and different isolates of HIV-1. The binding of these mAbs to gp120 is enhanced by the binding of other antibodies to the principal neutralizing determinant (amino acid residue numbers 296-331) of gp120.
