Restriction of HIV-1 Escape by a Highly Broad and Potent Neutralizing AntibodyBroadly neutralizing antibodies targeting the HIV-1 envelope protein are a promising option for prevention and treatment of HIV-1 infection. However, development of viral resistance can limit clinical efficacy. Schommers et al. identify a highly broad and potent antibody that targets the CD4 binding site of HIV-1. Compared with other potent CD4 binding site antibodies, it restricts the development of viral escape and effectively suppresses HIV-1 in vivo.Broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting the HIV-1 envelope protein are a promising option for prevention and treatment of HIV-1 infection.
