importance of the terminal Manα1→2Man moiety for 2G12 recognition and in
agreement with previous crystallographic studies[26]. Based on these observations,
several groups have focused on the development of different synthetic structures
that can mimic the 2G12 epitope and have assessed their binding affinity in vitro
(antigenicity) as well as their ability to elicit bnAbs invivo (immunogenicity).
3.2.1.2 Synthesis and Immunological Evaluation of 2G12 Epitope Mimics
In 2004, Wang and Li synthesized several oligomannoside clusters by conjugating
highmannose glycans with cholic acid[32] and galactoside moieties[27] through a
maleimide–thiol coupling reaction (Scheme3.1a). Multivalent Man
GlcNAc2 struc-

tures (Figure 3.1a,b) presented relatively high binding affinity to 2G12, but they
were not comparable to that of native gp120. In a subsequent study, the tetravalent
galactosidescaffolded moiety was conjugated through a maleimidebased linker to
keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH, a carrier protein that promotes Thelper responses and multivalent antigen presentation) (Figure3.1b) in order to evaluate its
capacity to induce bnAbs in rabbits[33]. Unfortunately, most of the antibodies were
raised against the maleimide linker, and only modest titers of carbohydratespecific
antibodies were elicited, which showed weak crossreactivity against gp120 and no
HIVneutralizing activity.
Meanwhile, the Danishefsky laboratory performed the total synthesis of hybrid
type and Man
GlcNAc2 glycan structures and incorporated them into a gp120 pep-
9
tide fragment via Lansbury aspartylation (Scheme 3.1b), obtaining fully synthetic
N322glycosylated gp120 (A316R355) fragments [34, 35]. Although surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments showed weak binding of the compounds with
2G12 bnAb, subsequent dimerization of the structures through a disulfide bond
(C331) resulted in enhanced antigenicity[36].
Collectively, the studies by the groups of Wang and Danishefsky suggested a
crucial effect of glycan multivalency in binding the 2G12 bnAb. Therefore, later
efforts have been focused on the design and synthesis of carbohydrate clusters by

strategies (Scheme3.1). Table3.1 and Figure3.1 illustrate significant examples of

9
Nglycan clusters on a modular cyclic peptide (Figure3.1d) via Lansbury aspartylation (Scheme3.1b), with the divalent and trivalent structures showing significantly
higher affinities compared to monovalent ones, which confirmed the importance of
multivalent presentation. Subsequently, they attached the bivalent compound to the
outer membrane protein complex (OMPC, an immunostimulatory carrier protein)
via thiol–maleimide coupling (Scheme 3.1a) (~2000 glycopeptide monomers per
conjugate) (Figure3.1d)[38], in order to perform immunogenicity studies in guinea
pigs and rhesus macaques. Although high levels of carbohydratespecific antibodies
were elicited in both species, they were not able to recognize a recombinant HIV
gp120 precursor, thus failing to elicit a 2G12like bnAb response[39]. These results
show that despite their antigenicity, the synthetic highmannose structures do not
mimic the 2G12 antibody epitope realistically, and lack the ability to induce bnAbs,
presumably due to a suboptimal oligosaccharide conformation/presentation necessary for efficient immune recognition.

Other multivalent structures, such as Wong’s Man9 glycodendron (Figure3.1e)
obtained via CuAAC (Scheme3.1c)[40] or Costantino’s Man
and Man9containing
4
glycodendrimers (Figure3.1f) synthesized using amide coupling (Scheme3.1d)[41],
both exhibited significant binding affinities with 2G12. The latter were linked to the
CRM
carrier protein via amide linkage (Scheme3.1d) for subsequent immuniza-
197
tion studies invivo[41]. Analogously, Astronomo etal. synthesized a (Man
(bovine serum albumin) conjugate via a thiourea linkage (Scheme3.1e) using BSA
as a carrier protein for multimeric presentation (Figure 3.1g) and evaluated its
immunogenicity in rabbits [42]. In both cases, carbohydratespecific antibodies
were generated, but the antisera were not crossreactive to HIV1 gp120 [41, 42].
Notably, Clark etal. showed that a bacterial lipooligosaccharide (LOS) derived from
Rhizobium radiobacter Rv3 that included a Man4 D1like arm was bound with

reasonable affinity by 2G12. Mouse immunization with heatkilled Rv3 bacteria
elicited glycanspecific antibodies that recognized monomeric gp120 but could not
neutralize HIV1 virions[53]. Based on these findings and on the crystallographic
structure of the 2G12/LOS complex[54], Kosma and coworkers conjugated several
LOSderived, penta or heptamannose structures to BSA and assessed their antigenicity, with a thiourealinked (Scheme3.1e), βanomeric Man
glycan (Figure3.1h)
7
showing the highest 2G12affinity[43].
In other studies, Finn and collaborators investigated the use of viruslike particles
(namely, bacteriophage Qβ), as scaffolds to facilitate a multivalent, ordered presentation of highmannose glycans via triazole linkers (Scheme3.1c) with the purpose
of mimicking the oligomannose clustering on gp120. The highest 2G12 affinities
were obtained with Qβ–Man
constructs (Figure 3.1i). The first two conjugate types (Qβ–Man4 and Qβ–
Man
9
) induced mannosespecific antibodies in rabbits that recognized the respec-
Man
9
, Qβ–Man9, and especially with a mixture of Qβ–Man8/
4
tive glycans, but they did not crossreact with native gp120 or show HIV1neutralizing
activity[44].
In a rationally designed strategy to enhance the immunogenicity of synthetic
2G12 epitope sugar mimics, Davis and coworkers synthesized a number of unnatural mannosederived monosaccharides and their respective D1arm tetrasaccharides for antigenicity and immunogenicity studies [45]. Interestingly, the
nonself Man
glycan incorporating a terminal C6methylated mannose (see
4
Scheme 3.2 for synthesis) showed the highest binding to 2G12, and its corresponding triazolelinked (Scheme3.1c) Qβ conjugate (Figure3.1j) was evaluated
in rabbits. Although considerably increased titers of mannosespecific antibodies
were induced, they were not crossreactive with native gp120 and failed to neutralize HIV1.
In the last decade, Krauss and coworkers have applied a directed evolutionbased
approach to the development of multivalent carbohydrate clusters as effective 2G12
epitope mimics. Following their early work with DNAscaffolded Man

glycoclusters[46, 47, 55], they developed a method to select Man9bearing multivalent glycopeptides as glycocluster scaffolds by combining mRNA presentation,
incorporation of alkynecontaining unnatural amino acids, and subsequent glycan
coupling via CuAAC (Scheme3.1c)[48]. This strategy led to invitro selected glycopeptides incorporating 3–5 oligosaccharides that showed binding affinities comparable with natural 2G12–gp120 interactions (in the picomolar to low nanomolar
range), which represents the most antigenic 2G12 glycopeptide epitope mimic
reported to date. The best Man
functionalized CRM
(Scheme 3.1a) (Figure 3.1k) [49] for immunological
197
bearing peptides were conjugated to maleimide
9
evaluation in rabbits[50]. While glycopeptidereactive antibodies targeting the carbohydrate part were generated, low binding to the nativelike soluble trimeric HIV
Env protein (SOSIP) was observed (only in two cases), with negligible HIV1
neutralizing activity. Moreover, the induced antibodies were found to bind mainly
to the core mannoses rather than the Manα1→2Man termini recognized by 2G12,
which might result from serum mannosidase trimming invivo before immunogen
presentation to Bcell receptors[50]. In a subsequent study to assess the effect of the
vaccination regimen with a view to promote Manα1→2Manspecific antibodies, an
evolved Man
glycopeptide immunogen was coadministered with the QS21 adju-
4
vant in liposomes using standard bolus dosing, an exponential series of mini doses,
or continuous infusion[51]. The two latter regimens led to higher overall IgG titers
to the glycopeptide, whereas bolusimmunized mice showed the strongest HIV Env
binding antibody response. Nonetheless, Manα1→2Manbinding antibodies were
not induced in either case, suggesting that mannosidase activity might be saturated
under the bolus immunization protocol, resulting in an increased presentation of
intact Man
to B cells, albeit still insufficient to elicit antibodies to the Manα1→2Man
9
motif. These findings highlight the need for an improved understanding of these
biological processes in order to rationally develop optimal bnAbeliciting HIV1 vaccines. Recently, the Krauss group has also developed a novel directed evolution platform for the selection of stable2′fluoromodified RNAsupported Man
glycoclusters
9
that bind to 2G12with low nanomolar affinities[52].
Taken together, while the synthetic glycoconjugates developed so far could induce
oligomannosespecific antibodies with high 2G12binding affinities (as described
above), they have not proven to be effective HIV immunogens, failing to elicit 2G12
like antibodies that are crossreactive with the native Env protein to lead to an
HIV1neutralizing response. The lack of immunogenicity of these 2G12 epitope
mimics can be attributed to several reasons. First and foremost, the conformation of
the glycan and its presentation as part of the synthetic immunogen may be different
from that of the natural gp120 protein, making it, therefore, unable to recapitulate
the native spatial orientation in the Env spike. This may be due to their distinct,
inherent physicochemical properties as well as the subsequent glycan processing
invivo. For instance, the inner GlcNAc
core that is missing in most of the con-
2
structs developed may have an important effect in defining the optimal carbohydrate orientation, which together with the high flexibility of the synthetic glycans
may lead to unproductive immune recognition of irrelevant oligosaccharide conformations. This notion is supported by observations from Doms and coworkers, who

3.2 Human Immunodeficiency Virus
used yeastderived highmannose glycoproteins as immunogens, presenting
GlcNAc2 glycans in a more dense, nearnative form[56, 57]. Immunization in
Man
8
rabbits generated carbohydratespecific antibodies that recognized gp120 and efficiently neutralized HIV1 virions expressing highmannose Nglycans but did not
neutralize the wildtype virus. Second, considering the rare domainexchange structure of 2G12, this class of bnAbs might be intrinsically difficult to induce, and some
animal species may not have the ability to generate this unique and complex antibody type. Taking these concepts into account, a deeper knowledge of the key features of 2G12 bnAb evolution in HIV1infected individuals would be essential to
design improved synthetic glycoconjugate immunogens that can elicit 2G12 bnAbs,
leveraging a suitably devised vaccination approach.
3.2.2 Vaccine Constructs Derived from gp120 First and Second
Variable Loops (V1V2)
3.2.2.1 V1V2-Targeting bnAbs
Since 2009, researchers have been continuously discovering new potent human
bnAbs, which represents an important springboard toward the identification of new
targets for HIV vaccine design. The PG9, PG16, CH01–04, and PGT141–145 antibodies were found to target the gp120 V1V2 apex of the HIV1 Env trimer[58–63]. These
bnAbs contain a long, anionic CDRH3loop to penetrate the glycan shield and bind
a quaternary motif within the first and second variable loops (V1V2). So far, synthetic glycanbased vaccine development has centered on the binding sites of PG9,
PG16, and CH01 bnAbs, which include similar glycandependent conformational
epitopes in the V1V2 region [59, 64]. Specifically, crystal structure studies of the
complexes between PG9 and scaffolded V1V2 domains revealed that the antibody
interacts with two highmannose glycans at N160 and N156/N173 and a connected
V1V2peptide βstrand[65]. While the fine glycan specificities of the bnAb epitopes
were yet uncertain, the available structural insights provided an important framework for the development of V1V2 carbohydratebased immunogens as synthetic
epitope mimics.

3.2.2.2 Synthetic V1V2 N-Glycopeptide Antigens as bnAb Epitope Mimics
Wang and coworkers designed and chemoenzymatically synthesized a number of
gp120 V1V2 cyclic glycopeptides (V154–Y177) based on two HIV1 strains with different glycosylation profiles, CAP45 (N156, N160) and ZM109 (N160, N173)
(Scheme3.3). Binding analysis by SPR and ELISA revealed that a Man
GlcNAc2
5
glycan at N160was critical for recognition by PG9 and PG16, while the presence of
an additional sialylated complextype oligosaccharide at N156 or N173 further
increased the binding affinity[66]. A more efficient chemoenzymatic approach was
later developed for the siteselective glycosylation of the peptides with two distinct
Nglycans by using orthogonally protected GlcNAcAsn residues [67]. The important role of the sialylated N‐glycan at the second glycosylation point was also corroborated by crystallographic studies with the PG16 bnAb[68]. Subsequently, Wu
and coworkers synthesized unusual hybridtype glycans bearing oligomannose and

α2,6sialylated branches and analyzed their binding to PG9 and other bnAbs using
glycan arrays. The high affinity obtained for these structures highlighted the critical
role that the spatial distance between both glycan arms plays on antibody binding
and provided uncommon glycans as potential epitope mimics for vaccine
development[69, 70].
Meanwhile, Danishefsky and coworkers prepared several differently glycosylated
gp120 V1V2 peptides based on the HIV1 A244 strain (I148–I184) using chemical
synthesis (Scheme3.4). The corresponding glycosyl amines derived from Man
GlcNAc
and Man3GlcNAc2 were incorporated at the N156 and N160 residues of
2
two individual peptides via Lansbury aspartylation, and the resulting fragments
were coupled together in unprotected form by native chemical ligation (NCL).
Binding studies confirmed the multivalent simultaneous interaction of PG9 with
both the peptide backbone and the mannosebearing Nlinked oligosaccharides[71].
In a followup study, these glycopeptides were dimerized through a disulfide bond
(C157), which resulted in even higher binding affinities to bnAbs (in the low

nanomolar range) and their unmutated common ancestors [72]. In addition,
circular dichroism experiments suggested that not only the Man
/Man3 Nglycans
5
but also the disulfide bondmediated dimerization may contribute to the more stable, βstranded conformation necessary for bnAb binding. These results signal the
promise of these rationally designed glycopeptide antigens for further development
as potential synthetic immunogens to elicit V1V2directed bnAbs.
3.2.3 Vaccine Constructs Derived from gp120 Third Variable
Loops (V3)
3.2.3.1 V3-Targeting bnAbs
A majority of PGT bnAbs isolated from HIV1infected elite neutralizers were found
to target epitopes on the V3loop involving the N332 glycan and the V3 peptide backbone [60]. Further detailed characterization of the antibodybinding sites was
obtained by crystallographic studies, which revealed an epitope formed by a V3
βstrand and 2 oligomannoses at N332 and N301 for PGT128[73] and a preference
toward complextype glycans for PGT121[74].
3.2.3.2 Synthetic Glycoconjugates and N-glycopeptides as V3-Directed
bnAb Epitope Mimics
Kosma and collaborators observed that the previously mentioned βlinked Man7
BSA conjugate (see Figure3.1h) bound with high affinity to bnAbs of the PGT128
class and to their common germline precursor[75], likely because of the structural
similarities of the bacterial LOS [54] and the PGT128 highmannose glycan epitope[73]. In rat immunizations, this glycoconjugate induced reasonable levels of
carbohydratespecific IgM antibodies but low IgG titers, suggesting weak immunogenicity with Bcell activation in the absence of Tcell involvement. Interestingly,
immune sera were crossreactive with native gp120 and even exhibited neutralizing
activity against some HIV1 strains, presumably due to avid interactions with polymeric IgMs[75].
83
3.2.3.3 Synthetic V3 Glycopeptides as bnAb Epitope Mimics
In 2017, Wang and coworkers applied their glycosynthasebased chemoenzymatic
strategy for the synthesis of a gp120 miniV3 glycopeptide derived from the
HIV1JRFL strain (E292N339). By using enzymatic transglycosylation and CuAAC
cycloaddition, they prepared di and trivalent constructs incorporating the high
mannose Man
GlcNAc2 glycan at N332, which were recognized by the PGT128 and
9
PGT124like bnAbs [76]. In a related study, the same group pinpointed the fine
epitopes of some V3 bnAbs by exploiting differently glycosylated synthetic V3 glycopeptides (Figure3.2a). Thus, PGT128was found to exhibit binding affinity toward
oligomannose glycopeptides with glycosylationsite flexibility (N301/N332),
whereas the PG124 homolog recognized only the peptide having a high mannose at
N332 and PGT121 required the presence at N301 of a sialylated complextype oligosaccharide [77]. Later, they conjugated the highmannose V3 glycopeptide
(E293N339) to a Thelper epitope from the tetanus toxoid (TT) carrier protein and

to the Pam3CysSK4 TLR2ligand (as an adjuvant) (Figure3.2b)[78]. In addition to
this threecomponent “selfadjuvanting” construct, they also synthesized a trivalent
analog presenting three copies of the V3 glycopeptide (Figure3.2c)[79] as well as a
monovalent variant with another V3 glycopeptide fragment derived from a different
HIV1 strain (A244) (Figure3.2d)[80]. Rabbit vaccination studies with these structures showed induction of glycanspecific antibodies that crossreacted with HIV1
gp120/gp140 but did not neutralize HIV1 virions[78–80].
Separately, Alam etal. designed and synthesized, through a twostep Lansbury
aspartylation/NCL strategy, a minimal highmannose V3 glycopeptide (Figure3.2e)
that was bound by PGT128 and PGT125[81]. This Man
construct served to isolate
9
V3 glycan bnAbs from an HIV1infected individual and elicited highmannose
targeted antibodies in vaccinated rhesus macaques, thus mimicking the V3glycan
bnAb epitope. However, no HIV1neutralizing activity was observed. In a subsequent study, Seder and collaborators immunized nonhuman primates with a
designed, dendrimerbased star nanoparticle system presenting several copies of a
minimal synthetic immunogen consisting of a related V3 glycopeptide and a univer-
+
sal CD4
Tcell helper epitope (Pan DRbinding epitope, PADRE). Although high
titers of V3sitedirected antibodies were generated, they showed weak affinity for
nativelike Env trimers and were not able to neutralize HIV1 virions[82].
Despite important recent progress on the design and evaluation of minimal
immunogens based on synthetic V3 Nglycopeptides, V3targeted antibodies with
broadly neutralizing activity have also not been generated. In part, this may be due
to a different, irrelevant conformation/presentation of the V3 synthetic structures in
comparison to that of the native Env glycoprotein epitopes, preventing elicitation of
fully functional antibody responses. Moreover, in addition to the unique features of
bnAbs, a potential reduction of the Bcell precursor pool because of immune tolerance could further limit the induction of these bnAbs by vaccination[16]. Preferably,
an optimal immunogenic construct should activate these rare naive B cells in a
selective manner, whereas further boost immunizations using rationally designed
immunogens should ultimately produce bnAbs by driving B cells along desirable
maturation pathways. With that objective in mind, the identification of clonally
related bnAbs, a suitable Bcelllineage design strategy, and fine structural determination of the epitopes recognized by intermediate Bcell receptors could yield critical insights for the development of effective minimal immunogens for HIV1[83].

3.3 Influenza A Virus
Influenza virus affects between 10% and 15% of the global population every year. In
most cases, infection in healthy individuals results in a mild illness in the upper
respiratory tract that does not require any type of surgery. However, it is estimated
that between three and five million of these infections cause severe disease that
progresses to the lower tract and viral pneumonia, resulting in up to 650 000 deaths
