Abstract excerpt
Three of the five hypervariable domains (V1-V3) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp120 have previously been shown to be dispensable for antigenic epitopes recognized by broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. In this study, the influence of the V4 and V5 domains on an epitope recognized by a broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibody, 1.5e, was investigated. In contrast...
