Vaccine-induced antibodies neutralize tier 2 viruses. a Summary of the vaccine regimens and macaque demographics from which the three antibodies DH727.2, DH753, and DH796.1 were isolated. b Antigen-specific single B cell sorting of vaccinated macaque PBMCs. Antigen-specific single B cells were isolated with fluorophore-labeled CH505 gp120 or CON-S gp140 as indicated on the x and y-axes. The B cell encoding the antibody of interest is shown as a colored square in the FACS plot. c, d In vitro antibody neutralization of HIV-1 infection of TZM-bl cells. Each symbol signifies one of the 292 HIV-1 isolates tested. Neutralization titers are represented as the concentration in µg mL‒1 that inhibits c 50% or d 80% of virus replication (IC50 or IC80 respectively). SIVmac239 and MuLV were used as negative controls and titers for both viruses were > 50 µg mL‒1. Horizontal bar indicates the geometric mean neutralization titer of all isolates. The neutralization breadth is shown above each column as the percentage of viruses neutralized by 50% c or 80% d. e Maximum percent neutralization achieved by each vaccine-elicited antibody against 93 early/acute tier 2 clade C HIV-1 isolates. Each symbol signifies one HIV-1 isolate. Horizontal bar indicates the mean maximum percent neutralization. f, g Vaccine-induced antibodies preferentially neutralize the most sensitive tier 2 viruses. Polyclonal plasmas from HIV-1 infected individuals were used to phenotype 101 HIV-1 isolates as tier 2 viruses f. The plasma dilution that inhibited 50% of virus replication (ID50) for each virus is shown for all serum samples as the geometric mean titer (GMT). The viruses are ordered according to increasing sensitivity to the polyclonal sera neutralizing antibodies. g Vaccine-induced antibodies DH727.2 (red), DH753 (blue), and DH796.1 (green) neutralization titers as IC50 in µg mL‒1 for the 101 tier 2 HIV-1 isolates shown in f. h Venn diagram showing the overlap of viruses from the 12-virus global panel that were neutralized by DH727.2, DH753, DH796.1 isolated from vaccination and macaque immune sera from monkeys immunized with BG505 SOSIPs29. Five of the viruses were not neutralized by DH727.2, DH753, DH796.1 or BG505 SOSIP-immune sera. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
