Vaccination elicits HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies in primates

Nature

The high antigenic diversity of HIV has been a major obstacle to development of a broadly protective vaccine. Here we report testing of an adjuvanted protein germline-targeting vaccine in outbred non-human primates. The vaccine generated bnAb-class memory B cells and sera capable of neutralizing diverse HIV clinical isolates. bnAb lineages were generated in at least 50% of animals, achieving up to 67% neutralization breadth compared with the reference bnAb. Vaccine-induced bnAbs exhibited precise structural mimicry of human bnAb interactions with HIV envelope (Env), matching the germline-targeting predictions. Furthermore, serum bnAb activity developed in 44% of animals and in one instance reached titres expected to confer protection against diverse HIV isolates.
