The mutation D476G occurred during H06 IgG treatment in vivo and conferred antibody resistance against H06 IgG and three monoclonal antibodies, AR3–5, in vitro.
Antibody | IC50 value (µg/mL) | ||
---|---|---|---|
J6/JFH1 | J6/JFH1D476G | Fold change | |
H06 IgG | 1100 | 7300 | 6.6 |
AR3A | 19 | 48 | 2.5 |
AR4A | 7.4 | 43 | 5.8 |
AR5A | 43 | 88 | 2.0 |
Dose–response neutralisation was performed as described using HCV with J6 envelope proteins with and without D476G. Dose–response curves were analysed using GraphPad PRISM (V.4.03) as described in ‘Materials and Methods’.
