Completeness of HIV-1 Envelope Glycan Shield at Transmission Determines Neutralization Breadth

Summary: Densely arranged N-linked glycans shield the HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimer from antibody recognition. Strain-specific breaches in this shield (glycan holes) can be targets of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies that lack breadth. To understand the interplay between glycan holes and neutra...
