Using antibody-guided structure-based design, we engineered a GT HIV trimer immunogen, Q23-APEX-GT2, which primes diverse V2-apex bnAb precursors. Q23-APEX-GT2 efficiently activated rare V2-apex-specific B cells in humanized knockin mice and consistently elicited immunofocused antibody responses in outbred rhesus macaques, priming multiple long heavy-chain complementarity-determining region 3 (CDRH3)-loop bnAb-B cell lineages. Monoclonal antibodies isolated from immunized macaques showed broad heterologous HIV trimer recognition and modest cross-neutralization of diverse tier-2 viruses. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structural studies confirmed precise epitope targeting and revealed CDRH3-mediated binding modes that mirrored those of human V2-apex bnAbs. Together, these findings establish proof of principle for priming and early maturation of authentic V2-apex bnAb precursors in outbred macaques and highlight the promise of V2-apex-targeted HIV vaccines.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
