Abstract excerpt
We have used virus neutralization and antibody-binding techniques to define the epitope for a human monoclonal antibody, designated 19b, within the V3 region of the gp120 surface glycoprotein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Unusually, the 19b epitope encompasses residues on both flanks of the V3 loop. However, 19b binding to gp120 is independent of sequences at the crown of the V3 loop, provided that they...
