The paper investigates whether genetically diverse B-cell receptor responses in simian-HIV infected macaques converge functionally, finding that functional convergence does not require genetic convergence.

This study shows that targeting the conserved HIV fusion peptide with modified Env immunogens in rhesus macaques can focus immune responses on neutralizing epitopes.

This study compares bnAb precursor responses in infant and juvenile rhesus macaques after germline-targeting HIV Env immunization, finding higher rates in infants.
