Table 2.

Assay characteristics, methods, and summarized observations. Assay characteristics are reported along with methods and details for the five HIV bnAbs tested.

Experimental design 10–1074 3BNC117 3BNC117LS PGDM1400 PGT121
Cut Point Treatment-naïve HIV+ and HIV- subjects' serum samples were assayed Fixed 2.7 S/B 1.7 S/B 2.2 S/B 1.45 S/B 3.0 S/B
Floating +0.7 S/B +0.4 S/B +0.3 S/B +0 S/B +0.7 S/B
Specificity Serum samples from three different categories of patients (HIV-, HIV+ ART+, and HIV+ ART-) were tested in duplicates, and then retested with additional anti-id spiked-in. All samples became ADA positive upon anti-id spike in All samples became ADA positive upon anti-id spike in All samples became ADA positive upon anti-id spike in All samples became ADA positive upon anti-id spike in
HIV+ ART+ and HIV- samples all became ADA positive

ART- subjects had reduced anti-id induced signal. (5/16 remained below cut point)
Serum samples were spiked with 3200 ng/mL of an unrelated mAb or 20 IU/mL of rheumatoid factor (RF) and assayed. 2 of 13 samples became positive upon addition of either mAb or RF. 0 of 13 samples became positive. 0 of 12 samples became positive. 0 of 10 samples became positive. 6 of 13 samples became positive upon addition of anti-PGDM1400

All 13 samples became positive upon addition of RF
Drug tolerance
PNHS containing anti-id at concentrations sufficient to result in a positive response call were spiked with the respective mAb over a range of concentrations and assayed in duplicate by two operators.

An unrelated mAb was also spiked into samples containing the mAb anti-id.
