VRC01 Selects Rare HIV Escape Mutations After Acquisition in Antibody-Mediated Prevention Trials

Carolyn E. Williamson, Lyle Curry, Nonhlanhla N. Mkhize…·James I. Mullins

This study identifies VRC01-mediated viral escape mutations in HIV-infected participants from antibody-mediated prevention trials, showing that VRC01 can select for escape variants with cross-resistance to other CD4bs bnAbs.
