Human monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2G12 efficiently neutralizes a broad range of HIV-1 primary isolates in vitro and protects from in vivo viral challenge in macaques in combination with other antibodies. MAb 2G12 binds with high affinity to a unique, conserved epitope on the HIV-1 envelope that is formed by a cluster of N-linked, high-mannose glycan groups on the “silent” face of gp120. Since the identification of its epitope, MAb 2G12 has received significant attention as a template for HIV-1 vaccine development.
