The elimination of HIV-1-infected cells remains an important medical goal. While current antiretroviral therapy decreases viral loads below detection levels, it does not eliminate latently infected cells which form the viral reservoir. Here, we developed a cocktail of non-neutralizing antibodies targeting highly conserved Env regions and combined it with a potent indoline CD4mc. This combination exhibited very potent ADCC activity against HIV-1-infected primary CD4+ T cells as well as monocyte-derived macrophages, suggesting its potential utility in decreasing the size of the viral reservoir.
