This study finds low neutralizing antibody prevalence to GRAd32 in southern African populations, suggesting its potential as an HIV vaccine vector despite prior Ad26 vaccination.

This paper develops updated HIV-1 pseudovirus panels to better detect and assess B cell lineages with potential to produce broadly neutralizing antibodies against contemporary HIV-1 variants.

The paper analyzes HIV breakthrough virus populations in antibody-mediated prevention trials, finding high rates of multilineage infections and recombination under VRC01 treatment.

This study identifies VRC01-mediated viral escape mutations in HIV-infected participants from antibody-mediated prevention trials, showing that VRC01 can select for escape variants with cross-resistance to other CD4bs bnAbs.

The paper identifies a new broadly neutralizing antibody, 04_A06, with high potency and breadth against HIV-1 strains, showing potential for prevention and therapy.

BRAVE predicts HIV-1 resistance to 33 bNAbs using a Random Forests classifier with a protein language model, outperforming existing tools in accuracy and other metrics.

This study compares neutralization profiles of contemporary HIV-1 clade C viruses from India and South Africa against broadly neutralizing antibodies, finding distinct resistance patterns and env signatures.
