VRC01 Selects Rare HIV Escape Mutations After Acquisition in Antibody-Mediated Prevention Trials

Carolyn E. Williamson, Lyle Curry, Nonhlanhla N. Mkhize, Elena E. Giorgi, Craig A. Magaret, Bronwen E. Lambson, Sinethemba Bhebhe, Haajira Kaldine, Thandeka Moyo-Gwete, Morgane Rolland, Raabya Rossenkhan, Nina Marie G. Garcia, Chivonne Moodley, Anna Yssel, Yunda Huang, , James I. Mullins

This study identifies VRC01-mediated viral escape mutations in HIV-infected participants from antibody-mediated prevention trials, showing that VRC01 can select for escape variants with cross-resistance to other CD4bs bnAbs.
