The researchers' findings are described in the July 10, 2015, issue of the journal Science.
On the cover: A goal in HIV research is to design a vaccine that will protect against the rapidly mutating virus. Such a vaccine would elicit B cells to produce broadly neutralizing antibodies with a high affinity for the HIV envelope protein. Pictured here are B cells displaying colored antibodies; the shades of blue represent unmutated versions. Over time, the right mutations take place to create the lineage of the sought-after antibody (lineage depicted by orange-red gradient). This happens in some HIV patients naturally, but now scientists have immunized animals with engineered immunogens that prime a first step on the antibody mutation pathway. See pages 139, 154, 156.
