TL;DR: V vaccines that are designed to induce higher levels of V1V2 antibodies and lower levels of Env-specific IgA antibodies than are induced by the RV144 vaccine may have improved efficacy against HIV-1 infection.

TL;DR: The isolation, evolution and structure of a broadly neutralizing antibody from an African donor followed from the time of infection and its co-crystal structure revealed a new loop-based mechanism of CD4-binding-site recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broad and potent neutralization of HIV-1 by a gp41-specific human antibody

TL;DR: The structure of 10E8 in complex with the complete MPER revealed a site of vulnerability comprising a narrow stretch of highly conserved gp41-hydrophobic residues and a critical arginine or lysine just before the transmembrane region, suggesting the importance of these residues for neutralization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiolipin Polyspecific Autoreactivity in Two Broadly Neutralizing HIV-1 Antibodies

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the two most broadly reactive HIV-1 envelope gp41 human mAbs, 2F5 and 4E10, are polyspecific autoantibodies reactive with the phospholipid cardiolipin, which may have important implications for generating effective neutralizing antibody responses by using HIV- 1 vaccines.

TL;DR: A clonal lineage of four V2/V3 conformational epitope broadly neutralizing antibodies from an African HIV-1-infected broad neutralizer is identified and their common reverted unmutated ancestor (RUA) antibodies are inferred.
