The CD4 binding site (CD4bs) is a conserved epitope on HIV-1 envelope (Env) that can be targeted by protective broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). HIV-1 vaccines have not elicited CD4bs bnAbs for many reasons, including the CD4bs is occluded by glycans, immunogen expansion of appropriate naive B cells, and selection of functional antibody mutations. Here, we demonstrate immunization of macaques with a CD4bs-targeting immunogen elicits neutralizing bnAb precursors with structural and genetic features of CD4-mimicking bnAbs. Structures of the CD4bs nAbs bound to HIV-1 Env demonstrated binding angles similar to human bnAbs and heavy chain second complementarity determining region-dependent binding characteristic of all known human CD4-mimicking bnAbs. Macaque nAbs were derived from variable and joining gene segments orthologous to the genes of human VH1-46-class bnAbs. This vaccine study initiated the B cells from which derive CD4bs bnAbs in primates, accomplishing the key first step in development of an effective HIV-1 vaccine.
