Abstract excerpt
The extraordinary genetic diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), driven by high mutation and recombination rates, poses significant challenges for diagnostics, therapy, and vaccine development. While variable regions enable immune escape, hyperconserved regions are critical for viral function and represent promising targets for novel therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to develop and...
