Popis: Neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV-1 are exclusively directed against the viral envelope protein (Env) and mainly target Env in a closed, prefusion state. Here, Yang et al. structurally characterize two heterologously-neutralizing CD4-binding site (CD4bs) antibodies isolated from sequentially immunized macaques, and show that these antibodies recognize the CD4bs on Env trimers in an „occluded-open‟ conformation between closed, as targeted by bNAbs, and fully-open, as recognized by CD4.
