1. A histidine-mutated anti-HIV antibody having one or more of the following mutations in the heavy chain of ibalizumab (amino acids 20-471 of SEQ ID NO: 2): Y73H, D78H, K119H, D120H, N121H, and T124H, or one or more of the following mutations in the light chain of ibalizumab (amino acids 20-238 of SEQ ID NO: 3): S45H, L49H, L58H, Q114H, Y117H, S118H, and Y119H; wherein the ibalizumab is comprises in its light chain an engineered N-linked glycosylation site at the amino acid position selected from the group consisting of positions 54Gln, 77Ser, 78Thr, 79Arg, 85Asp, 90Ser, 92Ser, and 101Ser; wherein the antibody has a pH-dependent CD4-binding activity.
