The elicitation of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is considered crucial for an effective, preventive HIV-1 vaccine. Led by the discovery of a new generation of potent bnAbs, the field has significantly advanced over the past decade., After priming, sequential boosting with immunogens similar to native glycoproteins can guide B cell maturation to produce bnAbs against the target epitope., By 2006, researchers had identified a few so-called "broadly neutralizing antibodies" (bNAbs) that worked on multiple HIV strains. They analyzed 1800 blood samples from HIV-infected people from Africa, South Asia and the English-speaking world., As the decades-long effort to develop an effective HIV vaccine continues to hit roadblocks, a novel approach to stimulating broadly neutralizing antibodies showed promise in a small phase 1 clinical trial., In this review, we list the limiting factors for inducing bnAb in healthy individuals and review the attempts to induce bnAb strategies and their applications in broad-spectrum vaccine design, including various methods used by different researchers., When a virus encounters the right B cell, the B cell begins cloning itself and produces antibodies designed to battle that virus. These antibodies circulate throughout the body looking for the virus, and they evolve continuously, becoming ever more precise and numerous..
