HIV-1 Env ectodomain trimers stabilized in a prefusion mature closed conformation and methods of their use and production are disclosed. In several embodiments, the HIV-1 Env ectodomain trimers and/or nucleic acid molecules can be used to generate an immune response to HIV-1 in a subject. In additional embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount of the HIV-1 Env ectodomain trimers can be administered to a subject in a method of treating or preventing HIV-1 infection.

Antibodies and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to gp120 and neutralize HIV-1 are disclosed. Nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, vectors and host cells are also provided. Methods for detecting HIV-1 using these antibodies are disclosed. In addition, the use of these antibodies, antigen binding fragment, nucleic acids and vectors to prevent and/or treat an HIV-1 infection is disclosed.

The present application provides stable peptide-based antibody capture agents and methods of use as detection and diagnosis agents. The application further provides methods of manufacturing antibody capture agents using iterative on-bead in situ click chemistry.

The present relation relates to recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus for use as prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines for infectious diseases of AIDS. The present invention encompasses the preparation and purification of immunogenic compositions which are formulated into the vaccines of the present invention.

Therapeutic compositions and methods for treating HIV including identification and manipulation of particular domains associated with immunogenicity.

HIV-1 Env ectodomain trimers stabilized in a prefusion mature closed conformation and methods of their use and production are disclosed.

In additional embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount of the HIV-1 Env ectodomain trimers can be administered to a subject in a method of treating or preventing HIV-1 infection.

The present invention relates to a method for detecting and/or quantifying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) specific antibodies in a sample of a subject comprising the step of determining the presence and/or amount of antibodies binding to a) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence AIVCTRPNNNTRKSIRIGPGQVFYT (SEQ. ID No. 1), or b) a homolog having at least 70% identity with a peptide of a), or c) a fragment of a peptide of a) or b) consisting of 15 to 24 amino acid residues in said sample.

This disclosure relates to LN02M binding agents with specificity for HIV and to methods for using the same to treat, prevent and/or ameliorate HIV infection and/or AIDS. In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a binding agent(s) comprising a variable region shown in FIGS. 6A through 6E; amino acid sequence of any mutant of FIGS. 7A through 7D and/or FIGS. 8A through 8F, and any effective (e.g., HIV neutralization) combination thereof; any one or more of SEQ ID NOS. 3-92, 95-233, 248-482, or 491-699; and/or combinations thereof.

The present application provides stable peptide-based antibody capture agents and methods of use as detection and diagnosis agents. The application further provides methods of manufacturing antibody capture agents using iterative on-bead in situ click chemistry.

Provided are methods for identifying patient populations infected with HIV that can be targeted by antibodies that bind to HIV gp120 CD4 binding site (CD4bs) region.
