Immunogenic Presentation of a Conserved gp41 Epitope of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 on Recombinant Surface Antigen of Hepatitis B Virus
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
In view of the high antigenic variability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), a vaccine against AIDS must induce an immune response to epitopes as invariable as possible among the various virus strains and clones. Previously the highly conserved six amino acid sequence Glu-Leu-Asp-Lys-Trp-Ala (ELDKWA) from gp41, defining the epitope of the human MAb 2F5, was shown to elicit HIV-1-neutralizing...
