Purified HIV-1BaL was preincubated with serial concentrations of polyclonal Ig purified from sera of HIV-1 patients or of neutralizing monoclonal IgG. Neutralizing titers that correspond to the concentration of Ig able to reduce the percentage of infected cells by 90% were determined for each cellular subset (purified iMDDCs, coculture of iMDDCs with 15% of PBLs, or PHA-stimulated PBMCs). Data are mean of 4 experiments performed with cells from at least 4 different donors.
— indicates no neutralizing activity detected at 800 μg/mL polyclonal Ig; ND, not determined.
