Preventing HIV cell entry There is no cure for AIDS ... viral strains carrying different maraviroc resistance–conferring mutations within gp120 have been observed both in cell culture ...
Furthermore, vaccine development faces huge problems, mainly because of the low antigenicity and immunogenicity of the HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120 and the efficient hiding of highly immunogenic ...
Researchers at the Vaccine Research Center (“VRC”) have determined the three-dimensional structure of the HIV-1 Envelope trimeric ectodomain (“Env”), comprised of three gp120 and three ...
Determinants of HIV cell tropism & chemokine receptor usage The V3 loop of HIV-1 gp120 is a primary determinant of cell tropism and chemokine receptor usage, whereas the V1/V2 region is involved ...
VRC01 was shown around a decade ago to be one of several antibodies generated against the gp120 envelope glycoprotein binding CD4 (the main receptor for the HIV-1 virus), and one that achieves broad ...
This vaccine used a recombinant canarypox vaccine to prime immune responses plus protein subunits of the HIV surface protein (termed gp120) to boost immune responses. Further analysis of the data ...
David Baltimore (then at Rockefeller University and later MIT), we identified and functionally characterized the CD40 signaling molecule, TRAF-3. Our earlier research efforts in HIV contributed to ...
