Abstract

Understanding the molecular basis of HIV Env-specific broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) development especially, at early stages, is key for germline-targeting vaccine design strategies. Umotoy et al. mapped the development of a VRC01-class bnAb lineage that achieved breadth in 2 years, revealing early binding to the N276-glycan during affinity maturation, which may have implications for vaccine design.
