Structure-guided changes at the V2 apex of HIV-1 clade C trimer enhance elicitation of autologous neutralizing and broad V1V2-scaffold antibodies

HIV-1 clade C envelope immunogens that elicit both neutralizing and non-neutralizing V1V2-scaffold-specific antibodies (protective correlates from RV144 human trial) are urgently needed due to the prevalence of this clade in the most impacted regions worldwide. To achieve this, we introduce structur...

description HIV-1 clade C envelope immunogens that elicit both neutralizing and non-neutralizing V1V2-scaffold-specific antibodies (protective correlates from RV144 human trial) are urgently needed due to the prevalence of this clade in the most impacted regions worldwide. To achieve this, we introduce structure-guided changes followed by consensus-C-sequence-guided optimizations at the V2 region to generate UFO-v2-RQH173 trimer. This improves the abundance of well-formed trimers. Following the immunization of rabbits, the wild-type protein fails to elicit any autologous neutralizing antibodies, but UFO-v2-RQH173 elicits both autologous neutralizing and broad V1V2-scaffold antibodies. The variant with a 173Y modification in the V2 region, most prevalent among HIV-1 sequences, shows decreased ability in displaying a native-like V1V2 epitope with time in vitro and elicited antibodies with lower neutralizing and higher V1V2-scaffold activities. Our results identify a stabilized clade C trimer capable of eliciting improved neutralizing and V1V2-scaffold antibodies and reveal the importance of the V2 region in tuning this.
