Viral escape from HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies drives increased plasma neutralization breadth through sequential recognition of multiple epitopes and immunotypes. [PDF]
Identifying the targets of broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 and understanding how these antibodies develop remain important goals in the quest to rationally develop an HIV-1 vaccine.

HIV broadly neutralizing antibody targets [PDF]
To provide an update on neutralizing antibody targets in the context of the recent HIV-1 envelope trimer structure, describe new antibody isolation technologies, and discuss the implications of these data for HIV-1 prevention and therapy.Recent advances in B-cell technologies have dramatically expanded the number of antibodies isolated from HIV ...

Elite controllers among HIV-1-infected individuals have demonstrated a stronger ability to control the viral load in their bodies. Scientists have isolated antibodies with strong neutralizing ability from these individuals, which can neutralize HIV-1 ...

Correlates of broadly neutralizing antibody development [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are considered a key component of an effective HIV-1 vaccine, but despite intensive efforts, induction of bnAbs by vaccination has thus far not been possible. Potent bnAb activity is rare in natural infection and a deeper understanding of factors that promote or limit bnAb evolution is critical ...

Evolution of cross-neutralizing antibody specificities to the CD4-BS and the carbohydrate cloak of the HIV Env in an HIV-1-infected subject. [PDF]
Broadly neutralizing antibodies are considered an important part of a successful HIV vaccine. A better understanding of the factors underlying their development during infection and of the epitopes they target is needed to elicit similar antibody ...

HIV vaccine development and broadly neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)infects about 35 million people worldwide[1]. There is no vaccine in current clinicaluse. Although available drug treatmentsare generally effective in controlling infec-tion, they are not curative, can cause signifi-cant side effects and are unable to preventcomorbidities such as cardiovascular dis-easeand cancers ...

SnapShot: Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies
Durably elicited by live attenuated virus, less durably by inactivated virusConserved bnAb epitopes:1) Ep1 (res. 380–400) 2) Ep2 (res. 190–200)3) Ep3 (res. 571–579)Despite the extensive variability of measles virus, nAb responses to vaccination are broad becausethe conserved epitopes are immunoprominent.May relate to overlap of the receptor-binding ...

Broadly neutralizing antibodies target a haemagglutinin anchor epitope [PDF]
AbstractBroadly neutralizing antibodies that target epitopes of haemagglutinin on the influenza virus have the potential to provide near universal protection against influenza virus infection1. However, viral mutants that escape broadly neutralizing antibodies have been reported2,3.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may elicit neutralizing antibodies targeting epitopes conserved in all viral genotypes [PDF]
Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) cross-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies, directed against conserved epitopes on surface E2 glycoprotein, are central tools for understanding virus-host interplay, and for planning strategies for prevention and ...
