1Values of SIV-binding antibody titers are the reciprocal of the highest plasma dilution (of 4-fold dilutions) that gave a positive signal on whole-virus antibody ELISA assay specific for IgG.

2Values of neutralizing antibody are the serum dilution at which relative luminescence units (RLUs) were reduced 50% compared to virus control wells (no test sample); viruses tested were pseudoviruses SIVmac239CS.23 and SVA-MLV grown in 293 T cells, and replication-competent SIVmac251-CS (hPBMC-grown) and uncloned SIVmac251-TCLA (H9-grown; tissue culture lab adapted).

3ADCVI: antibody-dependent cell-mediated virus inhibition was tested at a 1:100 serum dilution with SIV-infected CEM.NKr R5 as targets and human PBMC as effector cells. The reported values of % inhibition are the averages of 2 independent experiments. The SIVmac251CS and SIVmac251-TCLA are the same as those used in the neutralizing antibody assay; SIVmac251 (UCD) is a stock grown in rhesus PBMC derived from the same seed stock as the SIVmac251 stock that was used to inoculate animals 32186, 33088 and 33091. The RT-SHIV stock was grown in rhesus PBMC from the same seed stock used to infect animal 30577. Only serum of RT-SHIV infected animal 30577 was tested for ADCVI activity against RT-SHIV. nd indicates not done.
