An efficient HIV-1 vaccine will likely depend on eliciting broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAb). Here the authors analyze the B cell repertoire in macaques and knock-in mice in response to sequential immunization with Env variants that induce a bnAb targeting the CD4-binding site of Env in a HIV-1 infected individual.
