This antibody binds to rat CD4. Upon challenge with HIV-1, this antibody was able to significantly inhibit viral entry into HeLa cells expressing a mutant of rat CD4 that binds gp120 (SImon, 1997). Similarly, pre-binding of gp120 resulted in a 50% reduction in binding of this antibody, indicating epitope masking. Analogous effects on viral entry and synctium formation are observed with MAbs against human CD4.
