  3. Introduction – neutralizing antibodies • Neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses develop in most HIV-1 infected individuals within a few months of infection (Moog et al, 1997; Richman et al, 2003; Wei et al, 2004) • Much of the variation that occurs in Env during early infection may be due to nAb pressure (Frost, 2005) • Neutralization escape extensively documented in HIV-1 subtype B and SIV – substitutions, indels, glycan shifts (Richman et al, 2003; Wei et al, 2004) • Autologous nAb response in subtype C develop to higher titres and show greater type-specificity (Li et al, 2006; Gray et al, 2007)

  4. CAPRISA Development of the autologous neutralizing antibody response in early subtype C infection Median initial autologous response is 19 weeks post-infection Gray ES, Moore PL et al., JV 2007

  5. CAPRISA The Early Neutralizing Antibody Response at 1 Year is Highly Type-specific Gray ES, Moore PL et al., JV 2007

  6. CAPRISA The Major Target of the Early Autologous Neutralizing Antibody Response is the C3-V4 Region of the HIV-1 Subtype C Envelope Numbers and kinetics of autologous nAbs in early infection is not known Moore PL, Gray ES et al., JV 2008

  7. Peak 1 Peak 2 Neutralization escape in HIV-1 subtype C – CAP88 1 month p.i. 6 months p.i. 12 months p.i. SGA derived clones from 1 month, 6 months and 12 months p.i. were tested against plasma spanning 2 years p.i. to assess neutralization escape. Moore et al., PLoS Pathogens, in press

  8. Temporal variations in neutralization titers correspond to waves of evolving specificities – CAP88 Anti-C3 Anti-V1V2 • Use of heterologous chimeric envelopes suggest: • initial anti-C3 response develops, peaking at 26 weeks p.i., then waning. • second anti-V1V2 response peaking at 81 weeks p.i. Moore et al., PLoS Pathogens, in press

  9. Escape mutations in CAP88

  10. Limited nAb specificities drive sequential escape mutations – CAP88 cont Escape at 6 months p.i. is mediated by 2 amino acid changes in C3 Escape at 12 months p.i. is mediated by changes in V1V2 (and C3)

  11. Limited and sequential nAb specificities drive sequential escape mutations – CAP177 Escape at 6 months p.i. is mediated by changes in C3 Escape at 12 months p.i. is mediated by changes in V1V2 In CAP88 and CAP177, nAbs first target the C3 region, then the V1V2 loop

  12. The V1V2 region is a target of autologous nAbs and changes within V1V2 mediate escape – CAP210 V1V2 is the nAb target in CAP210 (heterologous chimera data) Escape at 12 months p.i. is mediated by changes in V1V2

  13. A single specificity mediates neutralization of CAP45

  14. Summary of autologous neutralizing antibody targets and escape mutations Moore et al., PLoS Pathogens, in press

  15. Do autologous nAbs affect viral load? 7-fold 4-fold

  16. The relationship between autologous nAbs and the development of cross-neutralizing breadth • A vaccine should aim to elicit cross-neutralizing antibodies • The specificities of antibodies in sera with neutralization breadth are largely unknown (Binley et al, 2008; Sather et al, 2009; Gray et al, in press ) • The mechanisms that lead to the development of breadth are not known – likely to be dependent in part on the autologous infecting envelopes (Rademeyer et al, 2007) • The contribution of autologous neutralizing antibodies to the development of breadth has not been explored

  17. CAP256 80% The Neutralizing Antibody Response at 3 Years post-infection shows increased breadth See poster by Maphuti Madiga, MOPEA003 - “Development of intra- and inter-subtype cross-neutralizing antibodies in HIV-1 subtype C infection”

  18. Development of the autologous neutralizing response in CAP256 Note: CAP256 was super-infected at about 13 weeks p.i. – Carolyn Williamson et al, unpublished data

  19. Specificity of the autologous neutralizing response in CAP256 Use of heterologous chimeric envelopes suggest an initial (unknown) specificity, followed by an anti-V1V2 response

  20. Development of the heterologous neutralizing response in CAP256

  21. Development of the heterologous neutralizing response in CAP256

  22. Development of the heterologous neutralizing response in CAP256 See poster by Maphuti Madiga, MOPEA003 - “Development of intra- and inter-subtype cross-neutralizing antibodies in HIV-1 subtype C infection”

  23. Specificity of the heterologous neutralizing response in CAP256 mirrors the specificity of the autologous response V1V2 involved in epitope V1V2 not involved in epitope

  24. Conclusions • One or two potent but highly-type specific neutralizing antibody specificities develop in the first year of infection • The C3 and V1V2 regions are frequent targets, and changes in these regions directly mediate escape • These antibody specificities arise sequentially with titers waning as escape occurs

  25. Conclusions • Autologous nAbs were temporally associated with decreased viral load in CAP88, which was abrogated by escape mutations • In CAP256, antibodies mediating autologous neutralization contributed to heterologous neutralization and this involved determinants in the V1V2 region.
