Abstract excerpt
Several studies have demonstrated a functional role for the V1-V2 region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope surface glycoprotein gp120 in the membrane fusion processes underlying viral entry and syncytium induction. In a study with chimeric primary envelope genes, we have previously demonstrated that the exchange of V2 regions was sufficient to transfer syncytium-inducing capacity to a...
