Figure Lengend Snippet: Neutralization susceptibility of SF162, SF162ΔV1, SF162ΔV2, and SF162ΔV1V2 viruses. The neutralization susceptibility of the indicated viruses against a panel of MAbs and sera was determined using luciferase-expressing single-round replication-competent viruses and U87-CD4-CCR5 cells as targets. Values indicate the average and standard deviation from quadruplicate wells. Each neutralization assay was repeated at least two independent times. (A) IgGCD4, IgG1b12, F105, and M18 bind to the CD4 binding site, while 2909 recognizes a complex epitope. (B) 447D and 391-95D bind to the V3 loop, while 17b andX5 bind to CD4 induced epitopes. (C) 2F5 and 4E10 bind to the extracellular region of gp41, while 2G12 binds to a complex carbohydrate epitope; 1418 is a non-anti-HIV MAb used as a negative control. (D) Sera from macaques C640 and A141 were isolated from animals infected with SHIVSF162P4, while HIVIG is heterologous human serum IgG.
Article Snippet: CEMx174 5.25 M7 cells (expressing CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4, as well as being stably transduced with an HIV-1 long terminal repeat-green fluorescent protein and HIV-1 long terminal repeat-luciferase reporter construct) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml), l -glutamine (2 mM), puromycin (0.5 μg/ml), G418 (200 μg/ml; Cellgro), and hygromycin B (200 μg/ml; Cellgro).
