Popis: The V3 region of HIV Env elicits broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) in patients and represents a potential vaccine antigen. Here, Fera et al. show that the structure of a synthetic V3-glycopeptide closely resembles the conformation in intact HIV Env and identify amino acids in bnAbs that are important for neutralization breadth.
