- |||||||||| Journal: Use of broadly neutralizing antibodies in pediatric HIV for treatment and remission. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2025
This review synthesizes data for ongoing and planned pediatric bNAb treatment studies, focusing on available trial results that underscore the ability of newer and more potent long-acting bNAbs to sustain viral suppression. We discuss the potential impact of bNAbs to reduce the latent viral reservoir and their use as a strategy to achieve viral remission in children with HIV.

Journal: Combination immunotherapy induces post-intervention control of HIV. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2025 Robust expansion of activated CD8+ T cells early in response to rebounding virus correlated with lower viral load set points. These data suggest that combination immunotherapy approaches might prove effective to induce sustained control of HIV by slowing rebound and improving CD8+ T cell responses, and that these approaches should continue to be optimized.

These findings reveal a novel immune evasion mechanism exploited by HIV to evade myeloid cell immune surveillance and highlight the potential of targeting sialoglycan-Siglec interactions to improve immune clearance of HIV-infected cells.

HIV-1 specific T cell responses were low in this group of early-treated children and differences could not be identified between controllers and rebounders.

Resistance of Inducible, Infectious HIV-1 to Autologous Neutralizing IgG After Long-Term ART (Poster Hall) - Mar 3, 2025 - Abstract #CROI2025CROI_841; Conclusions Our findings demonstrated increased resistance of outgrowth viruses to aNAbs over long-term ART, which was not fully explained by a decline in neutralizing antibody concentrations. This increased resistance may be driven partially by ADCC-mediated elimination of infected cells carrying aNAb-sensitive viruses, leaving only aNAb-resistant viruses which can contribute to viral rebound.

Targeting this interaction presents a promising opportunity for developing innovative immunotherapeutic strategies to eliminate HIV-infected cells.

Conclusions In RIO, after dosing with two LS-bNAbs and an ATI, there was increased Gag-specific T cell immunity in aviraemic participants which was associated with viral control.

These results identify functional determinants of PIC that may guide the development of effective immunotherapies to elicit durable ART-free control of viremia in a larger proportion of PWH.

Journal: Comprehensive maps of escape mutations from antibodies 10-1074 and 3BNC117 for Envs from two divergent HIV strains. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 20, 2025 Mutations that escape neutralization by antibody 10-1074 are largely similar for the two Envs, but mutations that escape 3BNC117 differ greatly between Envs. Some differences in the effects of mutations on escape between Envs can be explained by strain-to-strain variation in mutational tolerance or glycosylation patterns, but other mutations have different effects on escape for unclear reasons. Overall, the extent that measurements of mutational effects on antibody neutralization can be generalized across HIV strain differs among antibodies.

Imaging of SHIV immune complexes in animal lymph nodes to study T cell priming (Poster Exhibition) - Aug 9, 2024 - Abstract #HIVR4P2024HIVR4P_723; BACKGROUND: Administration of two HIV-1 Envelope-specific broadly neutralizing antibodies, 3BNC117 and 10-1074, during acute acquisition with an HIV-1 Envelope containing SIV virus (SHIV) resulted in durable CD8+ mediated control of SHIV replication (Nishimura, Nature, 2017). These images are providing a detailed spatiotemporal examination of the host immune response to SHIV VLPs in the context of antibodies, which has the potential to inform the development of novel therapies and vaccines for HIV-1.

Overall, bNAb PK-PD is likely not responsible for lower observed post-treatment setpoints during this trial, suggesting the effect is likely attributable to changes in anti-HIV immune function.
