Deskripsi

Eliciting broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is a primary HIV vaccine goal, but available immunogens expose epitopes for development of non-nAbs. Here, the authors use computational and structure-guided design to develop improved native-like envelope trimers and analyze Ab response in animal models.
