DOI: 10.1097/qad.0000000000002898
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Passive immunization with broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) is under evaluation for HIV prevention. BNAbs target gp120 or gp41, two HIV envelope antigens commonly present in diagnostic tests. Depending on bNAb type and dose administered… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01495-18
Abstract: More than 50% of the HIV-1 infections globally are caused by clade C viruses. To date, there is no effective vaccine to prevent HIV-1 infection. Based on the structural information of the currently available HIV-1… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01685-18
Abstract: Millions of people are still being infected with HIV decades after the first recognition of the virus. Currently, no vaccine is able to elicit bNAbs that will prevent infection by global HIV strains. Several studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006235
Abstract: Broadly-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bNAbs) may guide vaccine development for highly variable viruses including hepatitis C virus (HCV), since they target conserved viral epitopes that could serve as vaccine antigens. However, HCV resistance to bNAbs could… read more here.

Glycoengineering HIV-1 Env creates ‘supercharged’ and ‘hybrid’ glycans to increase neutralizing antibody potency, breadth and saturation

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007024
Abstract: The extensive glycosylation of HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein leaves few glycan-free holes large enough to admit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAb). Consequently, most bnAbs must inevitably make some glycan contacts and avoid clashes with others. To… read more here.
