IgA/IgG Env ratio significantly correlates with increased risk of infection (decreased vaccine efficacy)

The odds ratio (univariate) for HIV-1 Env IgA and IgG binding to Env panel for the RV144 case control study are shown. As part of the RV144 correlates analyses, we previously reported the odds ratio and P values for the risk of infection for Env IgG and Env IgA measurements individually (2). For the two HIV-1 Env IgA responses with the strongest odds ratio for increased risk of infection (CRF01 AE.C1 peptide and A1.Con gp140), there was an increase in the odds ratio when the IgA/IgG ratio was measured (compared with Env IgA alone), although the P value was unchanged (P < 0.001; P = 0.0004 for both IgA alone and IgA/IgG ratio). Significant P values with increased odds ratio (increased risk of infection) are shown. ns, not significant.

Measurements that become significantly correlated with increased risk of infection when examined as a ratio of IgA to IgG Env binding.

Env IgA breadth score (univariate analysis) as reported (2). The multivariate analysis of this same breadth IgA score had an odds ratio of 1.54 (P = 0.03). Pink indicates significant correlation with increased risk of infection (decreased vaccine efficacy). Gray indicates significant correlation with decreased risk of infection.
