Abstract
The immune-correlate analysis of the RV144 clinical trial revealed that human plasma IgA immune responses elicited by the RV144 vaccine correlated positively with a risk for HIV acquisition. This result once again emphasized that HIV vaccines can potentially have adverse effects leading to enhancement of infection. Here, we discuss previously reported evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement of HIV infection. We also describe how a structure-based epitope-specific sieve-analysis can be employed to mine the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon.Entities:
