Maternal envelope gp41 ectodomain-specific antibodies are associated with increased mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1.
Journal of Infectious Diseases 2019 August 30
Mother-to-child transmission of HIV occurs in the setting of maternal and passively-acquired antibodies, providing a unique window into immune correlates of HIV risk. We compared plasma antibody binding to HIV antigens between 51 non-transmitting mother-infant pairs and 21 transmitting mother-infant pairs. Plasma antibody binding to a variety of gp41 ectodomain-containing antigens was associated with increased odds of transmission. Understanding the reasons why gp41 ectodomain-targeting antibodies are associated with transmission risk will be important in determining whether they can directly enhance infection or whether their presence reflects a redirecting of the humoral response away from targeting more protective epitopes.
