Identification of the principal neutralizing determinant of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 as a fusion domain
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
The V3 loop, located near the middle of the surface envelope glycoprotein gp120, is the major neutralizing domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Although the majority of the V3 loop is highly variable between different strains of HIV-1, a Gly-Pro-Gly-Arg motif at the tip of the loop is highly conserved. To determine whether this region plays a role in fusion mediated by the HIV-1 envelope...
