Abstract excerpt
Deletions of the major variable regions (V1/V2, V3, and V4) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 exterior envelope glycoprotein were created to study the role of these regions in function and antigenicity. Deletion of the V4 region disrupted processing of the envelope glycopro...
