A vaccine to generate durable HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) from engineered B cells holds promise as an HIV functional cure. Here, the authors show that CRISPR/Cas-modified B cells expressing bnAbs as functional antigen receptors can be immunized to generate long-lived, germinal centre matured bnAb memory and plasma cells in mice.
