Abstract excerpt
This report compares the immunogenicity of three different preparations of gp120 [the envelope glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virus]: (a) native, fully glycosylated gp120; (b) a nonglycosylated, denatured form of gp120; and (c) a nonglycosylated peptide representing the "immunodominant" third hypervariable region of the gp120 molecule. Results indicate that the native glycosylated...
