Glycopeptide epitope facilitates HIV-1 envelope specific humoral immune responses by eliciting T cell help

T cells recognize peptide antigens presented in the context of MHC but can additionally recognize non-conventional ligands. Here the authors show T cells specific for a HIV-1 associated glycopeptide antigen presented by MHC class II help envelope (Env) trimer induced humoral immune responses.
