Unique binding modes for the broad neutralizing activity of single-chain variable fragments (scFv) targeting CD4-induced epitopes
22 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The CD4-induced (CD4i) epitopes in gp120 includes the co-receptor binding site, which are formed and exposed after interaction with CD4. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the CD4i epitopes exhibit limited neutralizing activity because of restricted access to their epitopes. However, small fragment counterparts such as single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) have been reported to neutralize a broad range...
