A complete picture of HIV antigenicity during early replication is needed to elucidate the full range of options for controlling infection through humoral immunity. The HIV envelope protein, gp120, experiences key structural rearrangements during host cell attachment, leading to exposure of highly conserved epitopes on the virion surface. These epitopes enable Fc-mediated antiviral effector functions that may be relevant to HIV prevention. Here, we used 3D superresolution microscopy to show how gp120 epitopes are rapidly exposed distal to cell–virus interfaces, introducing the opportunity for unconstrained antibody binding. These previously unrecognized facets of HIV antigenicity further define relationships between retroviral infection and immunity and should facilitate the development of antibody-based approaches for HIV prevention. A complete picture of HIV antigenicity during early replication is needed to elucidate the full range of options for controlling infection. Such information is frequently gained through analyses of isolated viral envelope antigens, host CD4 receptors, and cognate antibodies. However, direct examination of viral particles and virus–cell interactions is now possible via advanced microscopy techniques and reagents. Using such methods, we recently determined that CD4-induced (CD4i) transition state epitopes in the HIV surface antigen, gp120, while not exposed on free particles, rapidly become immunoreactive upon virus–cell binding. Here, we use 3D direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) to show that certain CD4i epitopes specific to transition state structures are exposed across the surface of cell-bound virions, thus explaining their immunoreactivity. Moreover, such structures and their marker epitopes are dispersed to regions of virions distal to CD4 contact. We further show that the appearance and positioning of distal CD4i exposures is partially dependent on Gag maturation and intact matrix–gp41 interactions within the virion. Collectively, these observations provide a unique perspective of HIV during early replication. These features may define unique insights for understanding how humoral responses target virions and for developing related antiviral countermeasures.
