Here, we show that macaques vaccinated with a HA stem immunogen elicit human-like public B cell lineages targeting two major conserved sites of vulnerability, the central stem and anchor epitopes. Central stem antibodies were predominantly derived from V1-138, the macaque homolog of human V1-69, a V-gene preferentially used in human central stem broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Similarly, macaques produced anchor bnAbs with the human-like NWP motif. Both bnAb lineages were functionally and structurally analogous to their human counterparts, with recognition mediated largely by germline-encoded motifs. Thus the macaque immunoglobulin repertoire supports human-like public bnAb responses to influenza HA. Moreover, this underscores the utility of homologous germline-encoded immunity, suggesting that immune repertoires of macaques and humans may have been similarly shaped during evolution. |
