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.

The paper isolates glycan-reactive antibodies from HIV-1 vaccine trial participants and finds they neutralize diverse HIV strains and show broad cross-reactivity against other pathogens.

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.

This study shows that higher valency immunogens promote the maturation of VRC01-class antibodies with broader neutralizing activity in animals.

The paper analyzes antibody neutralization data from multiple countries to assess how prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2 variants affects neutralization profiles of BA.2.86 and its descendants.

The paper compares SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity across assays and in human and animal model sera, finding similar immunodominance patterns and antigenic maps but differences in titer magnitude and assay-specific fold change.
