Description

Early in the course of HIV infection, the primary humoral immune response appears to be highly strain specific and to be directed at a hypervariable portion of the viral gp120. The F105 human monoclonal antibody reacts with the CD4 binding region of gp120 and has been shown to neutralize the IIIB, SF2, and MN strains of HIV at concentrations readily achievable in humans. In Part A, three cohorts of four patients each receive a single intravenous (IV) injection of F105 human monoclonal antibody at 1 of 3 doses. The IV catheter will remain in the patient's arm for 12 hours after injection fo...
