    • An Anti-HIV-1 V3 Loop Antibody Fully Protects Cross-Clade and Elicits T-Cell Immunity in Macaques Mucosally Challenged with an R5 Clade C SHIV 

      Hemashettar, Girish; Wang, Wendy; Novembre, Francis J.; Villinger, Francois; Ibegbu, Chris; Patel, Kalpana; Corti, Davide; Agatic, Gloria; Vanzetta, Fabrizia; Bianchi, Siro; Heeney, Jonathan L.; Sallusto, Federica; Lanzavecchia, Antonio; Watkins, Jennifer D; Siddappa, Nagadenahalli B.; Lakhashe, Samir; Humbert, Michael; Sholukh, Anton M; Wong, Yin Ling; Yoon, John C.; Ruprecht, Ruth Margrit (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      Neutralizing antibodies have been shown to protect macaques against SHIV challenge. However, genetically diverse HIV-1 clades have evolved, and a key question left unanswered is whether neutralizing antibodies can confer ...
    • Exceptional Molecular and Coreceptor-requirement Properties of Molecular Clones Isolated from an Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Subtype C Infection 

      Dash, Prasanta K; Mangaiarkarasi, Asokan; Mahendarkar, Aruna V; Roshan, Padmanabhan; Anand, Krishnamurthy Kumar; Mahadevan, Anita; Satishchandra, Parthasarathy; Shankar, Susarla K; Prasad, Vinayaka R; Ranga, Udaykumar; Siddappa, Nagadenahalli B. (BioMed Central, 2008)
      Background: The pathogenic significance of coreceptor switch in the viral infection of HIV-1 is not completely understood. This situation is more complex in subtype C infection where coreceptor switch is either absent or ...
    • R5 Clade C SHIV Strains with Tier 1 or 2 Neutralization Sensitivity: Tools to Dissect Env Evolution and to Develop AIDS Vaccines in Primate Models 

      Wassermann, Klemens J.; Song, Ruijiang; Wang, Wendy; Kramer, Victor G.; Novembre, Francis J.; Villinger, François; Else, James G.; Montefiori, David C.; Watkins, Jennifer D; Siddappa, Nagadenahalli B.; Lakhashe, Samir; Santosuosso, Michael Robert; Poznansky, Mark; Rasmussen, Robert Anthony; Ruprecht, Ruth Margrit (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      Background: HIV-1 clade C (HIV-C) predominates worldwide, and anti-HIV-C vaccines are urgently needed. Neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses are considered important but have proved difficult to elicit. Although some current ...
    • R5-SHIV Induces Multiple Defects in T Cell Function during Early Infection of Rhesus Macaques Including Accumulation of T Reg Cells in Lymph Nodes 

      Righi, Elda; Leblanc, Pierre R.; Kodish, Brett; Mylvaganam, Hari N.; Stevceva, Liljana; Hu, Shiu-Lok; Chenine, Agnes-L.; Hovav, Avi-Hai; Unutmaz, Derya; Santosuosso, Michael Robert; Siddappa, Nagadenahalli B.; Ghebremichael, Musie Syum; Ruprecht, Ruth Margrit; Poznansky, Mark; Hill, David E. (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      Background: HIV-1 is a pathogen that T cell responses fail to control. HIV-1gp120 is the surface viral envelope glycoprotein that interacts with CD4 T cells and mediates entry. HIV-1gp120 has been implicated in immune ...
    • SHIV-1157i and Passaged Progeny Viruses Encoding R5 HIV-1 Clade C Env Cause AIDS in Rhesus Monkeys 

      Song, Ruijiang; Ong, Helena; Sharma, Prachi; Chenine, Agnès L; Kramer, Victor G; Xu, Weidong; Else, James G; Novembre, Francis J; Strobert, Elizabeth; O'Neil, Shawn P; Humbert, Michael; Rasmussen, Robert Anthony; Siddappa, Nagadenahalli B.; Ruprecht, Ruth Margrit (BioMed Central, 2008)
      Background: Infection of nonhuman primates with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) or chimeric simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) strains is widely used to study lentiviral pathogenesis, antiviral immunity and the ...
