title: Monoclonal antibodies to phosphatidylinositol phosphate neutralize human immunodeficiency virus type 1: role of phosphate-binding subsites.
abstract: Both a murine monoclonal antibody to phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) and a human monoclonal antibody (4E10) that is known to have broadly neutralizing capabilities against primary isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) bound to PIP, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Each of the antibodies had antigen subsite binding specificities in aqueous medium for small phosphate-containing molecules and for inositol. The anti-PIP monoclonal antibody inhibited infection by two HIV-1 primary isolates in neutralization assays employing primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The data suggest that PIP or related lipids having free phosphates could serve as targets for the neutralization of HIV-1.
