Identification and specificity of broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV

LE McCoy, DR Burton - Immunological reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Beginning in 2009, studies of the humoral responses of HIV‐positive individuals have led to
the identification of scores, if not hundreds, of antibodies that are both broadly reactive and …

Holes in the glycan shield of the native HIV envelope are a target of trimer-elicited neutralizing antibodies
