Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine immunogens capable of inducing broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) remain obscure. HIV-1 evades immune responses through enormous diversity and hides its conserved vulnerable epitopes on the envelope glycoprotein (Env) by displaying an extensive immunodominant glycan shield. In elite viremic controllers, glycan-dependent bNAbs targeting Env have been isolated are utilized as design templates. However, immunological tolerance mechanisms limit development these in general population. The well characterized monoclonal variants frequently exhibit levels somatic hypermutation, a long third heavy chain complementary determining region, or short light complementarity some poly-reactivity to autoantigens. This review elaborates obstacles engaging manipulating effective immunogen describes alternative reverse vaccinology approach develop novel category bNAb-epitope-derived non-cognate for design.

SUMMARY Rare B cells can have special pathogen-recognition features giving them the potential to make outsized contributions protective immunity. However, rare naive infrequently participate in immune responses. We investigated how germline-targeting vaccine antigen delivery and adjuvant selection affect priming of exceptionally BG18-like HIV broadly neutralizing antibody-precursor (~1 50 million) non-human primates. Only escalating dose (ED) immunization using saponin SMNP elicited detectable germinal centers (GCs). All groups had strong GC responses, but only ED+SMNP bolus+SMNP induced memory >50% animals. One group vaccine-specific responses equivalent ED+SMNP, were rarely detected. Following homologous boosting, more frequent a bolus group, lower somatic hypermutation affinities. This outcome was inversely associated with post-prime antibody titers, suggesting feedback significantly influence precursor cell
