Fig. 4. HIV-1 Env association is destabilized when exposing virions to neutralizing antibodies in live T cells.

Fig. 4

Cumulative Distribution Functions (CDF) are plotted for FRET efficiency traces obtained from at least (n = 20) HIV-1 HXB2 V4-GFPOPT virions in presence of living T cells without (solid dots) or with (solid triangles) neutralizing antibodies PGT145 (a), b12 (b), and 10E8 (c). Each FRET regime (high, Eapp>0.23 in red; intermediate, 0.12<Eapp<0.23, in green; low, Eapp<0.12, in blue) determines the Env conformational state/distribution and kinetics. d The HIV-1 Env structures representing closed Env associated with PGT145 (PBD ID 6NIJ, left), b12 (PBD ID 5VN8, middle) or 10E8 (PBD ID 5VN3, right) were modified to illustrate the labelling of the V4 loop with GFPOPT.
