HIV-1 strain-specific neutralizing antibody responses and the dynamics of viral evolution by Majara, Lerato Charlotte

“…There is evidence to suggest that in some individuals who develop bnAbs, the development of breadth is influenced by the co-evolution of the transmitted/founder (t/f) virus and earlier strain-specific neutralizing antibody (ssnAb) responses. …”

The impact of neutralizing antibody and ADCC responses on HIV-1 envelope evolution in early infection by Mielke, Dieter

“…However, evidence from the RV144 vaccine trial and non-human primate vaccine studies suggest antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses, which target virus-infected cells, may also be protective. This thesis uses deep sequencing, together with immune assays, to characterise HIV-1 Envelope evolution associated with both nAb and ADCC responses in early infection, and investigates broadly neutralizing and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibody ADCC activity against subtype C viruses. …”

Modelling the Evolution of HIV-1 Protein-Coding Sequences with Particular focus on the early stages of Infection by Wood, Natasha Tandi

“…However, sequence samples from the earliest phase of HIV infection are scarce, and inferences about the nature of the infecting virus and its evolution during the course of early infection are often made from samples isolated from later stages, or from chronic infections. …”
