Abstract
The subject invention concerns the production and novel use of human anti-HIV IgA antibodies to confer passive immunity to HIV when administered in vivo to a subject. The IgA antibodies of the subject invention are selectively transported to and secreted in the mucosal tissue of the subject. The IgA antibodies can confer protection from HIV infection at locations within the body where HIV penetration usually occurs.
