Figure 2. Fab-Env binding stoichiometries for V1V2 bNAbs.

(A) SEC-MALS profiles for BG505 SOSIP.664 Env trimer and complexes of Env trimer with BG1, PG16, and 8ANC195 Fabs. The absorbance at 280 nm (left y-axis) is plotted against elution volume from a Superdex 200 10/300 GL gel filtration column and overlaid with the molar mass determined for each peak (right y-axis). Predicted and calculated molecular masses are shown in the table. (B) Negative-stain single particle EM reconstructions BG1-Env-8ANC195, PG9-Env-8ANC195, and PG16-Env-8ANC195 complexes. EM density was fit with coordinates for the indicated Fabs and for BG505 Env trimer. (C) Density and coordinates from the BG1-Env portion of the BG1-Env-8ANC195 reconstruction (density for 8ANC195 Fabs removed) with coordinates for the indicated Fabs superimposed. The Env trimer portion from EM structures of complexes of PGT145-Env (PDB 5U1F), PG9-Env (panel B), or PG16-Env (panel B) were superimposed with the Env trimer portion of the BG1-Env-8ANC195 structure (panel B).

Figure 2—source data 1. Molar neutralization ratios (MNRs) for select bNAbs (MNR = [IC50 Fab (nM)/IC50 IgG (nM)].
The geometric mean MNR was calculated for each bNAb on a set of 25–30 HIV-1 strains with measured IC50s values for both Fab and IgG forms. The measure of variation of the MNRs across strains is the geometric standard deviation, which is the exponential of the standard deviation of the logarithms of the individual MNRs.
