HIV-1 gp41 envelope IgA is frequently elicited after transmission but has an initial short response half-life

TL;DR: HIV-1 transmission frequently elicits mucosal HIV-1 envelope-specific IgA responses targeted to gp41 that have a short half-life, and B-cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family was elevated immediately preceding the appearance of gp41 Abs, likely contributing to an initial T-independent Ab response.

Passively transferred antibodies directed against conserved regions of SIV envelope protect macaques from SIV infection

TL;DR: In vitro neutralization competition assays performed with sera from vaccinated macaques in the presence of the free peptides suggest that of the four conserved envelope peptides of the vaccine, the two originating from gp41 rather than the two from gp120 are responsible for inducing the neutralizing anti-syncytial activity.
