Title: Detection and activation of HIV broadly neutralizing antibody precursor B cells using anti-idiotypes

Abstract

Many tested vaccines fail to provide protection against disease despite the induction of antibodies that bind the pathogen of interest. In light of this, there is much interest in rationally designed subunit vaccines that direct the antibody response to protective epitopes. Here, we produced a panel of anti-idiotype antibodies able to specifically recognize the inferred germline version of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) broadly neutralizing antibody b12 (iglb12). We determined the crystal structure of two anti-idiotypes in complex with iglb12 and used these anti-idiotypes to identify rare naive human B cells expressing B cell receptors with similarity to iglb12. Immunization with a multimerized version of this anti-idiotype induced the proliferation of transgenic murine B cells expressing the iglb12 heavy chain in vivo, despite the presence of deletion and anergy within this population. Together, our data indicate that anti-idiotypes are a valuable tool for the study and induction of potentially protective antibodies.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Identification and characterization of anti-iglb12 idiotypes. (A) BLI analysis of the purified products of four hybridomas named IB1, IB2, IB3, and IB5 binding to different concentrations of iglb12. (B) The affinity (KD) of the anti-idiotype for iglb12 was calculated based upon the on rate (KON) and off ratemore » (KOFF) determined by BLI. (C) The heat map displays the maximum shift (nm) measured by BLI when IB1, IB2, IB3, or IB5 were incubated with the listed antibodies and antibody groups. Detailed information on sequences of the non–VH1-3 and VH1-3+ control antibodies can be found in Table S1. Data are representative of two to three similar experiments.« less
