1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundA goal of mucosal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccines is to generate mucosal plasma cells producing polymeric IgA (pIgA)-neutralizing antibodies at sites of viral entry. However, vaccine immunogens capable of eliciting IgA neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) that recognize tier 2 viral isolates have not yet been identified.

methodsTo determine if stabilized native-like HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimers could generate IgA nAbs, we purified total IgA and IgG from the banked sera of six rhesus macaques that had been found in a previous study to develop serum nAbs after subcutaneous immunization with BG505.664 SOSIP and 3M-052 adjuvant, which is a TLR7/8 agonist. The neutralization of autologous tier 2 BG505 T332N pseudovirus by the IgA and IgG preparations was measured using the TZM-bl assay. Anti-SOSIP binding antibodies (bAbs) were measured by ELISA.

resultsThe IgG samples were found to have significantly greater levels of both nAb and bAb. However, after normalizing the nAb titer relative to the concentration of bAb, SOSIP-specific IgA purified from 2/6 animals was found to neutralize just as effectively as SOSIP-specific IgG, and in 3/6 animals, neutralization by the specific IgA was significantly greater. The more potent neutralization by IgA in these three animals was associated with a higher percentage of anti-SOSIP J chain-bound (polymeric) antibody.

conclusionsThe parenteral vaccination of nonhuman primates with BG505.664 SOSIP generates HIV-1 tier 2 IgA nAbs in serum, including SOSIP-specific polymeric IgA, which appears to neutralize more efficiently than monomeric IgA or IgG. Mucosal delivery of this SOSIP or other stable Env trimers could generate locally synthesized polymeric IgA nAbs in mucosal tissues and secretions.
