Cryo-EM Structure of Full-length HIV-1 Env Bound With the Fab of Antibody PG16
11 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) is the target of neutralizing antibodies and the template for vaccine immunogen design. The dynamic conformational equilibrium of trimeric Env influences its antigenicity and potential immunogenicity. Antibodies that bind at the trimer apex stabilize a "closed" conformation characteristic of the most difficult to neutralize isolates. A goal of vaccine development is therefore to...
