Double and Triple Combinations of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Provide Efficient Neutralization of All HIV-1 Strains from the Global Panel.

The use of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) is a promising approach to HIV-1 treatment. In this work, we evaluate the neutralizing activity of the following HIV-1 bNAbs: VCR07-523, N6, PGDM1400, CAP256-VRC26.25, 10-1074, PGT128, 10E8, and DH511.11P, which are directed to different Env surface epitopes. We used the global panel of HIV-1 pseudoviruses to analyze the bNAbs' potency and chose the most potent ones. To achieve maximum neutralization breadth and minimum IC concentration, the most effective antibodies were tested in double and triple combinations. Among the doubles, the combinations of N6+PGDM1400 and N6+PGT128 with IC ≤ 0.3 µg/mL proved to be the most effective. The most effective triple combination was N6+PGDM1400+PGT128. Our data demonstrate that this combination neutralizes pseudoviruses of the global HIV-1 panel with IC ≤ 0.11 µg/mL and IC ≤ 0.25 µg/mL.
