Highlights

VRC01-class antibodies from six donors exhibit remarkably similar HIV-1 recognition
NGS sequencing of six donors with VRC01-class antibodies reveals genetic requirements
Restricted gene usage for VRC01-class antibodies indicates single ancestor B cell
Elicitation of VRC01-class antibodies is reproducible
