Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of an HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein in complex with the CD4 receptor and a neutralizing human antibody

TL;DR: The structure reveals a cavity-laden CD4–gp120 interface, a conserved binding site for the chemokine receptor, evidence for a conformational change upon CD4 binding, the nature of a CD4-induced antibody epitope, and specific mechanisms for immune evasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibody neutralization and escape by HIV-1

TL;DR: The detection of autologous Nab as early as 52 days after detection of HIV-specific antibodies is reported, indicating a new mechanism contributing to HIV-1 persistence in the face of an evolving antibody repertoire.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rational Design of Envelope Identifies Broadly Neutralizing Human Monoclonal Antibodies to HIV-1

TL;DR: Three broadly neutralizing antibodies are identified, isolated from an HIV-1–infected individual, that exhibited great breadth and potency of neutralization and were specific for the co-receptor CD4-binding site of the glycoprotein 120 (gp120), part of the viral Env spike.
Journal ArticleDOI

The antigenic structure of the HIV gp120 envelope glycoprotein

TL;DR: The spatial organization of conserved neutralization epitopes on gp120 is described, using epitope maps in conjunction with the X-ray crystal structure of a ternary complex that includes a gp120 core, CD4 and a neutralizing antibody.
