Antigenically-marked non-infectious retrovirus-like particles

Non-infectious, retrovirus-like particles comprise an assembly of an env gene product, a pol gene product and a gag gene product contain an antigenic marker which is non-retroviral or non-HIV retroviral. In one embodiment, the marker comprises an amino acid sequence containing an epitope inserted into the gag gene product at an antigenically-active insertion site. In another embodiment, the marker comprises an antigenic anchor sequence operatively connected to the env gene product replacing endogenous anchoring function. The corresponding nucleic acid molecules are described. The non-infectious, retrovirus-like particles have utility in in vivo administration including to humans and in diagnosis. The presence of the antigenic marker enables recognition that antiserum containing anti-retroviral antibodies has been generated by exposure to the non-infectious retrovirus-like particles by testing for antibodies specific to the antigenic marker.

INDUCTION OF BROADLY REACTIVE NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES BY FOCUSING THE IMMUNE RESPONSE ON V3 EPITOPES OF THE HIV-1 gp120 ENVELOPE

Compositions, kits and methods for boosting, or for priming and boosting, high titer broadly neutralizing cross-clade antibody responses focused on single HIV-1 neutralizing epitopes are disclosed. gp120 DNA plasmids comprising HIV env genes are used to prime the antibody response. Primed subjects are immunized with recombinant fusion proteins that comprise a “carrier” protein fusion partner, preferably a truncated form of the MuLV gp70 Env protein, and a desired HIV neutralizing epitopes. Preferred epitopes are epitopes of V3 from one or more HIV clades. Immune sera from such immunized subjects neutralized primary isolates from virus strains heterologous to those from which the immunogens were constructed. Neutralizing activity was primarily due to V3-specific antibodies and cross-clade neutralizing Abs were present. This approach results in more potent and broader neutralizing antibody levels, a result of “immunofocusing” the humoral immune response on neutralizing epitopes such as V3.
