Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env) from primary HIV-1 isolates typically adopt a pretriggered "closed" conformation that resists to CD4-induced (CD4i) non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs) mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). CD4-mimetic compounds (CD4mcs) "open-up" Env allowing binding of CD4i nnAbs, thereby sensitizing HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC. Two families of CD4i nnAbs, the anti-cluster A and anti-coreceptor binding site (CoRBS) Abs, are required to mediate ADCC in combination with the indane CD4mc BNM-III-170. Recently, new indoline CD4mcs with improved potency and breadth have been described. Here, we show that the lead indoline CD4mc, CJF-III-288, sensitizes HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC mediated by anti-CoRBS Abs alone, contributing to improved ADCC activity. When administrated along with the anti-CoRBS 17b, CJF-III-288 delayed viral rebound after ART interruption in HIV-1-infected humanized mice, demonstrating potential for eliciting ADCC in vivo. Structural and conformational analyses reveal that CJF-III-288, in combination with this anti-CoRBS Abs, potently stabilizes an asymmetric "open" State-3 Env conformation. This Env conformation orients the anti-CoRBS Ab to improve ADCC activity and therapeutic potential.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
