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 paper introduces nanotrap therapeutic vaccines (NTVs) that capture HIV virions and induce CD8 T cell immunity in mouse models.

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

The paper investigates how many HIV-1 Env protomers need to be modified to stabilize or destabilize the pretriggered conformation, finding that stabilization requires fewer modified protomers than destabilization.

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