TLDR
SOSIP gp140 trimers represent a soluble, stabilized, proteolytically cleaved form of the HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoproteins and have been shown to be superior at eliciting neutralizing antibodies to homologous virus as well as neutralization-sensitive subtype B and C viruses.

Rational antibody-based HIV-1 vaccine design: current approaches and future directions.

TL;DR: Recent structural studies of HIV-1 Env proteins, generation of novel bNAbs, maturation of technologies for the isolation of further antibodies, insights into the requirements for antibody-mediated protection, and novel vaccination approaches are providing grounds for renewed optimism.

Native‐like Env trimers as a platform for HIV‐1 vaccine design

TL;DR: Native‐like trimers are a platform for structure‐ and immunology‐based design improvements that could eventually yield immunogens of practical value for solving the long‐standing HIV‐1 vaccine problem.

Spider and web : processing and visualization of images in 3d electron microscopy and related fields

TL;DR: Novel features are a suite of operations relating to the determination, modeling, and correction of the contrast transfer function and the availability of the entire documentation in hypertext format.

Identification and characterization of transmitted and early founder virus envelopes in primary HIV-1 infection

TL;DR: A mathematical model of random viral evolution and phylogenetic tree construction is developed and used to analyze 3,449 complete env sequences derived by single genome amplification from 102 subjects with acute HIV-1 (clade B) infection, suggesting a finite window of potential vulnerability of HIV- 1 to vaccine-elicited immune responses, although phenotypic properties of transmitted Envs pose a formidable defense.

Protection of macaques against vaginal transmission of a pathogenic HIV-1/SIV chimeric virus by passive infusion of neutralizing antibodies.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that antibodies can affect transmission and subsequent disease course after vaginal SHIV-challenge, and the data begin to define the type of antibody response that could play a role in protection against mucosal transmission of HIV-1.

Rapid evolution of the neutralizing antibody response to HIV type 1 infection

TL;DR: Plasma virus continually and rapidly evolved to escape neutralization, indicating that neutralizing antibody exerts a level of selective pressure that has been underappreciated based on earlier, less comprehensive characterizations.

Efficient neutralization of primary isolates of HIV-1 by a recombinant human monoclonal antibody

TL;DR: A recombinant human antibody to envelope glycoprotein gp120 was generated and used to show that primary isolates are not refractory to antibody neutralization, implying the conservation of a structural feature on gp120, which could be important in vaccine design.
