Monoclonal antibodies that effectively neutralize HIV-1 have been widely sought, yet few
have been isolated. Now, technological advances in sera evaluation, B cell stimulation,
microneutralization, and antibody cloning have allowed Burton and colleagues to identify
two broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, PG9 and PG16, which provide insights for
HIV vaccine design.
