Structure of Super-Potent Antibody CAP256-VRC26.25 in Complex with HIV-1 Envelope Reveals a Combined Mode of Trimer-Apex Recognition

Cell Reports, Volume 31, No. 1, Article 107488, Year 2020

Antibody CAP256-VRC26.25 is one of the most potent known HIV-1-neutralizing antibodies. Gorman et al. determine the cryo-EM structure of this antibody in complex with the Env trimer that initiated the antibody lineage. The structure reveals how elements of distinct antibody classes can intermingle to yield an antibody of extraordinary potency.
