We show that intraepithelial cell neutralization of HIV by IgA antibodies to internal viral proteins can occur during antibody transcytosis from the basolateral to the apical surface. Polarized epithelial cells expressing the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) were transfected with HIV proviral DNA, and IgA was added to the basolateral side. Transcytosing IgA antibodies against Gag and RT significantly inhibited HIV replication as assessed by infection of HeLa-CD4-LTR/β-Gal cells and direct p24 assay. Consistent with intracellular neutralization, colocalization of the internal virus proteins and their IgA antibodies was demonstrated by confocal microscopy. Thus, at least in the context of infections of polarized epithelia, antibody-mediated neutralization may not be restricted to viral surface antigens.
