Abstract excerpt
Two neutralizing antibodies specific for the V3 sequence of HIV envelope were used to generate escape variants from the HTLV(IIIB) founder virus. The full gp120 sequence of each variant was then analyzed to identify mutations responsible for immune escape. As predicted, most escape variants harbored amino acid changes in the V3 crown sequence. However, one variant differed from its founder only within the...
