Vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies directed in part to the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) V2 domain were unable to protect rhesus monkeys from SIV experimental challenge.

TL;DR: Despite having consistent SIV-neutralizing antibody titers, animals were not protected against homologous challenge with BK28, the molecular clone of SIVmac251, suggesting that neutralizing antibodies directed to SIV envelope gp140 and especially to the V2 domain were unable on their own to protect against SIV challenge.

Redesigned HIV antibodies exhibit enhanced neutralizing potency and breadth

TL;DR: It is suggested that thermodynamic stabilization of the long HCDR3 in its active conformation is responsible for the increased potency of PG9_N100(F)Y, and strategies aimed at stabilizing this region in other HIV antibodies could become an important approach to in silico optimization of antibodies.
