Abstract excerpt
Two human monoclonal anti-HIV-1 antibodies, 2F5 and 4E10, were utilized to investigate the accessibility and conservation of gp41 MPER epitopes on five different clades of HIV-1 in the absence and presence of sCD4. The binding of human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to HIV-1 was dependent upon the virus clade. Soluble CD4 significantly increased the accessibility of gp41 MPER-binding epitopes on several isolates...
