摘要: During HIV-1 infection, the current tenet is that only anti-gag antibodies decline, while those directed at env remain stable. Among latter antibodies, to V3 domain of gp120 are assumed play a role in immune surveillance against HIV-1. We investigated correlation between anti-V3 antibody levels and clinical stage infection ability neutralize syncytium formation. Using V3-specific antigen-limited ELISA, we analysed panel 93 HIV-1+ sera peptides derived from different strains North American/European consensus sequence V3(Cs). Sera preferentially recognized representative V3(MN) strain Antibody reactivity or V3(Cs) actually declined relation with progression AIDS, whole recombinant gp160 gp41 immunodominant epitope remained There was strong (P < 0.0001) (Cs)/V3(MN) serum titres neutralized HIV-1MN-mediated syncytia. Serology based on ELISA indicates may decline during course HIV infection.
