Abstract excerpt
Elicitation of potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies is an important goal in designing an effective human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) vaccine. The HIV-1 gp41 inner-core trimer represents a functionally and structurally conserved target for therapeutics. Here we report the 2.0-A-resolution crystal structure of the complex between the antigen-binding fragment of D5, an HIV-1 cross-neutralizing antibody,...
