Abstract excerpt
We investigated the binding of conformation-dependent anti-V2, anti-V3, and anti-CD4-binding site monoclonal antibodies to monomeric and virion-associated gp120 from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates displaying marked differences in cell tropism. For all viruses examined, we found that the half-maximal binding values of the anti-V2 and anti-CD4-binding site antibodies with virion-associated gp120 were...
