Efficient trapping of HIV-1 envelope protein by hetero-oligomerization with an N-helix chimera.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies suggest that active selection limits the number of HIV-1 variants acquired by a newly infected individual from the diverse variants circulating in the transmitting partner. We compared HIV-1 envelopes from 9 newly infected subjects and their linked transmitting partner to explore potential m...
