  • Publication number: 20220289829
    Abstract: This disclosure provides novel broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof. The disclosed anti-HIV antibodies exhibited improved biophysical properties, e.g, reduced polyreactivity, prolonged half-life, while retaining broad and potent neutralization activity. The anti-HIV bNAb variants as disclosed constitute a novel therapeutic strategy for treating and/or preventing HIV infection.

  • Patent number: 11149081
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to compositions and methods for anti-HIV (anti-CD4 binding site) broadly neutralizing antibodies having improved potency and breadth for neutralizing a range of HIV strains. Combinations of broadly neutralizing antibodies can also improve potency over a single antibody composition.

  • Publication number: 20160102137
    Abstract: An anti-HIV-1 spike composition includes a first anti-HIV-1 antibody Fab and a second anti-HIV-1 antibody Fab linked by a DNA or protein linker molecule to form a crosslinked homo-diFab or hetero-diFab having improved viral potency and neutralization. The anti-HIV-1 antibody Fabs include anti-gp120 CD4, anti-gp120 V1V2, anti-gp120 V3, and anti-gp41.

  • Publication number: 20020187131
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the enhanced delivery of an antigen to antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells by conjugating an antigen to a molecule targeted to an endocytic receptor on the dendritic cell, such as DEC-205. The molecule targeted to an endocytic receptor may be a natural ligand to the receptor or an antibody thereto. Conjugates may be covalent complexes or single-chain polypeptides. Together with modulation of the maturation of the dendritic cell, an enhanced immune response or tolerizing immune response may be generated to the antigen. In addition, conjugate molecules including single-chain polypeptides are provided which contain at least an endocytic receptor-binding molecule and a preselected antigen.
