Computational prediction of broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibody epitopes from neutralization activity data.

Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies effective against the majority of circulating isolates of HIV-1 have been isolated from a small number of infected individuals. Definition of the conformational epitopes on the HIV spike to which these antibodies bind is of great value in defining targets f...
