Summary of the Project:

The project is sanctioned under Vaccine Grand Challenge Program (VGCP) by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology Government of India under targeted objective: To investigate new approaches for development of vaccines against HIV. A major component towards an effective vaccine development against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) is to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies. Thus, antibodies targeting conserved epitopes on the HIV-1 surface glycoprotein gp120 and the transmembrane glycoprotein gp41, which interact non-covalently to form a trimer of heterodimers on the virion surface holds a promise towards providing leads in vaccine development by abrogating viral entry. A major challenge in development of an effective HIV vaccine is to elicit neutralizing antibodies that will act a broad array of primary isolates with equal potency. The entry of HIV-1 into host cell by interaction with cell surface CD4 and a chemokine receptor (coreceptor) such as CCR5 or CXCR4 is the crucial step in the virus life cycle. The strength and quantum of interaction between SU gp120 with CD4 and CCR5 plays a very critical role in productive infection, transmission and sensitivity to inhibitors and antibodies interfering virus entry. Identification of determinants in HIV-1 envelope protein that induces structural conformation towards modulating envelope interaction with CD4 and coreceptors will potentially aid in designing envelope based vaccine. The flexible domains on envelope trimer of HIV-1 possess critical motifs that modulate affinity to CD4, coreceptor binding and sensitivity to neutralization. Our current research is focused on the motifs that play modulatory role in sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies and entry inhibitors. In our laboratory, we amplify complete functional envelope genes from HIV+ patients' plasma, clone into expression vectors and construct pseudovirus or virus like particles (VLPs). Using this technology, in our laboratory we have recently discovered few sensitive and resistant functional envelope proteins to autologous serum antibodies from HIV+ patients. Preliminary data provided us clue that certain domains in envelope protein conferred virus resistance to antibodies and further mapping of these envelopes would enable us to identify epitopes that played significant role in autologous neutralization. The current project aims to investigate the domains in these envelope clones conferring neutralization resistance and sensitivity to enable us design appropriate construct containing envelope sequence from these patients. Our approach is highly relevant and appropriate approach towards designing a tailor-made HIV-1 subtype C based vaccine.
