| Description | This is a human antibody with a strong affinity for HIV-1 gp41. VRC46.01 effectively neutralized the full clade B MPER chimera, although it did not have the same effect on the original HIV-2 virus. While VRC46.01's effectiveness was somewhat limited, it still showed activity against 30% of viruses from different subtypes, with a median IC₅₀ of 11 mg/mL. |
