AB Neutralizing antibody patterns in sera of persons infected with human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) groups M and O to their homologous
and heterologous primary isolates were determined in a peripheral blood
mononuclear cell-based neutralization assay and correlated with their
ability to bind to V3 loop synthetic peptides. Most HIV-1 group M sera
(9/16) neutralized HIV-1 group O viruses, whereas fewer group O sera
(3/13) only weakly neutralized HIV-1 group M viruses. Group M sera
neutralizing HIV-1 group O viruses neutralized other HIV-1 group M
viruses with titers of 1:10-1:1280. V3 loop binding capacity of sera did
not reflect their neutralizing capacity of the homologous isolate.
Despite the reduced neutralizing capacity of group O-infected patients'
sera to group M viruses, some group M-infected patients' sera
neutralized both HIV-1 group M and O isolates, suggesting that they
share some conserved neutralizing epitopes.
