Cooperation between somatic mutation and germline-encoded residues enables antibody recognition of HIV-1 envelope glycans.

Cooperation between somatic mutation and germline-encoded residues enables antibody recognition of HIV-1 envelope glycans.

Viral glycoproteins are a primary target for host antibody responses. However, glycans on viral glycoproteins can hinder antibody recognition since they are self glycans derived from the host biosynthesis pathway. During natural HIV-1 infection, neutralizing antibodies are made against glycans on HI...
