Common Characteristics of HIV-Neutralizing Antibodies with a Fondness for Sugars
Abstract
Broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting quaternary epitopes on the apex of the HIV-1 envelope spike are an attractive vaccine target, yet engineering immunogens that recapitulate such epitopes has proven difficult. In this issue of Immunity, Andrabi and colleagues (2015) identify an exciting new candidate immunogen that could initiate the production of these types of antibodies through vaccination.
