Three families of CD4-induced antibodies are associated with the capacity of plasma from people living with HIV to mediate ADCC in the presence of CD4-mimetics.

There are several reasons that make it difficult to target the HIV reservoir. One of them is the capacity of infected cells to prevent the recognition of HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env) by commonly elicited antibodies in people living with HIV. Small CD4-mimetic compounds expose otherwise occluded Env epitopes, thus enabling their recognition by non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs). A better understanding of the contribution of these antibodies to eliminate infected cells in the presence of CD4mc could lead to the development of therapeutic cure strategies.
