Abstract excerpt
Most synthetic HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop peptides that are used as immunogens in experimental HIV-1 vaccine studies are modeled from the naturally occurring viral gp120 V3 loops. In experimental animals these immunogens generally elicit type (or variant)-specific neutralizing antibodies that are not br...
