HGS101

HGS101 is a fully human CCR5 monoclonal antibody with high affinity to CCR5. HGS101 binds to the 2nd extracellular loop (ECL-2) and acts as a signal antagonist. HGS101 restores Maraviroc (HY-13004) inhibition of Maraviroc-resistant HIV-1 infection of PBMCs. HGS101 shows anti-HIV activity by inhibiting CCR5 signaling in simian immunodeficiency virus-uninfected RMs models[1][2].
