Specific Antibody Production by Blood B Cells is Retained in Late Stage Drug-naïve HIV-infected Africans by Lydie Béniguel, Evelyne Bégaud, Fabrice Cognasse, Philippe Gabrié, Christophe D. Mbolidi, Mary A. Marovich, Céline Cazorla, Frédéric Lucht, Christian Genin, Olivier Garraud

“…The in vitro antibody production by drug-naïve individuals' PBMCs depended on exogenous cytokines (IL-2 and IL-10) but neither on the re-stimulation of reactive cells in cultures by purified HIV-1-gp 160 antigen nor on the re-engagement of CD40 surface molecules. Further, it was not abrogated by the addition of various monoclonal Abs (mAbs) to co-stimulatory molecules. …”
