Abstract
We studied neutralization of CRF02_AG HIV-1-infected plasma samples. In contrast to previous reports, these samples neutralized CRF02_AG viruses better than other viruses. This included six of eight CRF02_AG viruses previously designated resistant (tier 2/3 or 3). Only viruses 253-11 and 278-50 remained highly resistant, but they were sensitive to membrane-proximal external region (MPER)-specific monoclonal antibodies, suggesting neutralization targets for even these viruses. We propose using high-neutralizing-within-subtype samples for evaluation of neutralization resistance of viruses.Entities:
