Impact of HIV-1 Envelope Conformation on ADCC Responses
20 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env) represent the only virus-specific antigen exposed at the surface of infected cells. In its unliganded form, Env from primary viruses samples a 'closed' conformation (State 1), which is preferentially recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs).
