A. Fold changes in neutralization sensitivity of the Env-pseudotyped viruses to INDO-SA 2007 plasma depleted with the monomeric (4-2.J41) gp120 and trimeric (BG505-SOSIP.664) gp140 proteins. B. Specificity of INDO-SA 2007 BCN plasma antibodies to known epitopes in variable loops. C. Presence of MPER directed neutralizing antibodies in INDO-SA 2007 plasma

aFold reduction in neutralization of Env-pseudotyped viruses was obtained by comparing the neutralization titer (ID50 values) of panel viruses against undepleted and depleted INDO-SA 2007 plasma. ID50 values are reciprocal dilutions at which the undepleted and depleted plasma conferred 50 % neutralization of the Env-pseudotyped viruses in TZM-bl cells
bID50 values refer to the reciprocal dilution that conferred 50 % neutralization of viruses in a TZM-bl assay. Assays were done in duplicates and were repeated more than three times. WT refers to wild type; MPER refers to membrane proximal external region in gp41
cHIV-1 MPER residues that are grafted in the HIV-2 are given in the parenthesis
