Neutralization of HIV by milk expressed antibody.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn some areas of the world, mother-to-child transmission of HIV remains a significant problem in part due to widespread breastfeeding, which is essential because of scarce supply of a safe replacement, protection conferred by breast milk against many enteric illnesses, and cultural norms. We propose that sustained adequate levels of protective antibodies in breast milk will prevent transmission of HIV.
methodsThe HIV-neutralizing human monoclonal antibody b12 (IgG1) has been expressed as an IgA2 in CHO cells and shown to retain full immunoreactivity and neutralizing activity as the parental IgG1. The expression plasmids containing the b12 heavy and light chains were also used to construct milk-specific expression vectors using the GTC goat β-casein expression vector to direct expression of linked genes to the mammary gland with subsequent secretion into the milk. Female transgenic mice were generated and following parturition, their milk was tested for antibody immunoreactivity with gp120 and neutralization of HIV.
resultsWhen milk-derived b12 IgA2 was compared with CHO-derived b12 IgA2 (or IgG1), immunoreactivity was retained. When tested for neutralization, milk-derived b12 IgA2 was at least comparable to CHO-derived antibody and in some cases, superior to CHO-derived antibody. Furthermore, milk that expressed b12 IgA2 was significantly more effective at mediating antibody-dependent cell killing.
conclusionsThese results suggest that it is possible to achieve functional HIV-specific mAb in the milk of transgenic mice, and further investigations are warranted to explore ways for inducing this type of antibody response in the breast milk of HIV-infected women.
