Project description:Study examining the efficacy of combination immunotherapy including HIV vaccination, immune stimulation/latency reversal, and passive transfer of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) in humans
Project description:A single AAV vector dose delivering broadly neutralizing antibody 3BNC117 at birth provided over 3 years of protection against HIV-like infection in infant rhesus macaques. Neonatal administration was most effective due to immune tolerance, which reduced anti-drug antibodies and enabled sustained bNAb expression. This approach offers a promising one-time gene therapy strategy to prevent perinatal and adolescent HIV-1 infections. A total of 65 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) of Indian origin were utilized in this study
