This study shows that HIV-1 infected cells with open Env conformations are vulnerable to ADCP mediated by PWH plasma, and that Nef and Vpu protect against this by preventing premature Env opening.

This study shows that the CD4 mimetic CJF-III-288 enables anti-CoRBS antibodies to mediate ADCC by stabilizing an asymmetric open Env conformation.

This study shows that the HIV-1 envelope cytoplasmic tail downregulates CD4, protecting infected cells from ADCC by preventing Env conformational changes that expose epitopes recognized by CD4i antibodies and plasma from PLWH.

This paper combines three CD4-induced antibodies with a CD4-mimetic to achieve potent ADCC activity against HIV-1-infected cells.

This study examines how temperature affects Spike-ACE2 interactions in Omicron subvariants and links these interactions to viral transmission efficiency.
