The asymmetric opening of HIV-1 Env by a potent CD4 mimetic enables anti-coreceptor binding site antibodies to mediate ADCC

Jonathan Richard, Michael W. Grunst, Ling Niu…·Andrés Finzi

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

CD4 downregulation precedes Env expression and protects HIV-1-infected cells from ADCC mediated by non-neutralizing antibodies

Jonathan Richard, Gérémy Sannier, Li Zhu…·Andrés Finzi

The paper shows CD4 downregulation precedes Env expression in HIV-1-infected cells, making them resistant to non-neutralizing antibody-mediated ADCC.
