The chimpanzee SIV envelope trimer: Structure and deployment as an HIV vaccine template

The chimpanzee SIV envelope trimer: Structure and deployment as an HIV vaccine template

Epitope-targeted HIV vaccine design seeks to focus antibody responses to broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) sites by sequential immunization. A chimpanzee simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope (Env) shares a single bnAb site, the variable loop 2 (V2)-apex, with HIV, suggesting its possible utility in an HIV immunization strategy. Here, we generate a chimpanzee SIV Env trimer, MT145K, which displays selective binding to HIV V2-apex bnAbs and precursor versions, but no binding to other HIV specificities. We determine the structure of the MT145K trimer by cryo-EM and show that its architecture is remarkably similar to HIV Env. Immunization of an HIV V2-apex bnAb precursor Ab-expressing knockin mouse with the chimpanzee MT145K trimer induces HIV V2-specific neutralizing responses. Subsequent boosting with an HIV trimer cocktail induces responses that exhibit some virus cross-neutralization. Overall, the chimpanzee MT145K trimer behaves as expected from design both in vitro and in vivo and is an attractive potential component of a sequential immunization regimen to induce V2-apex bnAbs. Design of immunogens and strategies that can induce protective broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is a priority for HIV vaccine development. Andrabi et al. design a chimpanzee simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope trimer immunogen that binds specifically to HIV V2-apex bnAbs and their unmutated versions. The SIV trimer immunogen induces HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) in a favorable animal model.

Abstract

Epitope-targeted HIV vaccine design seeks to focus antibody responses to broadly neutralizing antibody (bnAb) sites by sequential immunization. A chimpanzee simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope (Env) shares a single bnAb site, the variable loop 2 (V2)-apex, with HIV, suggesting its possible utility in an HIV immunization strategy. Here, we generate a chimpanzee SIV Env trimer, MT145K, which displays selective binding to HIV V2-apex bnAbs and precursor versions, but no binding to other HIV specificities. We determine the structure of the MT145K trimer by cryo-EM and show that its architecture is remarkably similar to HIV Env. Immunization of an HIV V2-apex bnAb precursor Ab-expressing knockin mouse with the chimpanzee MT145K trimer induces HIV V2-specific neutralizing responses. Subsequent boosting with an HIV trimer cocktail induces responses that exhibit some virus cross-neutralization. Overall, the chimpanzee MT145K trimer behaves as expected from design both in vitro and in vivo and is an attractive potential component of a sequential immunization regimen to induce V2-apex bnAbs. Design of immunogens and strategies that can induce protective broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is a priority for HIV vaccine development. Andrabi et al. design a chimpanzee simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope trimer immunogen that binds specifically to HIV V2-apex bnAbs and their unmutated versions. The SIV trimer immunogen induces HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) in a favorable animal model.
