A fusion-intermediate state of HIV-1 gp41 targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies
5 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Most antibodies induced by HIV-1 are ineffective at preventing initiation or spread of infection because they are either nonneutralizing or narrowly isolate-specific. Rare, "broadly neutralizing" antibodies have been detected that recognize relatively conserved regions on the envelope glycoprotein. Using stringently characterized, homogeneous preparations of trimeric HIV-1 envelope protein in relevant...
