From: HIV-1 subtype C superinfected individuals mount low autologous neutralizing antibody responses prior to intrasubtype superinfection

Figure 8

Plasma binding antibodies to both clade B and C gp120 V1V2-loop proteins are absent in superinfected individuals prior to superinfection. Plasma reactivity (at a single 1:500 dilution) to both P623 MuLVgp70-caseA2clBV1V2 [30](A) and P2442 MuLVgp70-consensus clade C V1V2 (B) proteins was measured in a standard ELISA assay. Longitudinal plasma from the first year of infection in both superinfected (colored) and non-superinfected (grey) controls was tested. Asterisks denote time at which superinfection was detected. Positive absorption was recognized as absorption greater than five-times that of the normal human plasma (NHP) control and is shown as a dashed line. Figure is representative of two independent experiments.
