Glycan-reactive antibodies isolated from human HIV-1 vaccine trial participants show broad pathogen cross-reactivity.

ABSTRACT: HIV-1 continues to pose a significant global health challenge, requiring ongoing research into effective prevention and treatment strategies. Understanding the B-cell repertoire that can be engaged upon vaccination in humans is crucial for the development of future preventive vaccines. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-negative participants in the multivalent HVTN124 human HIV-1 vaccine clinical trial were interrogated for HIV-reactive B cells using LIBRA-seq, a high-throughput B-cell mapping technology. We report the discovery of glycan-reactive antibodies, with one of these being capable of neutralizing diverse heterologous HIV-1 virus strains. Furthermore, isolated antibodies showed broad cross-reactivity against antigens from a variety of other pathogens. The e
