Multi-subtype gp160 DNA immunization induces broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies.

abstract：:Viral gene vectors often rely on packaging cell lines, which provide the necessary factors in trans for the formation of virus-like particles. Previously, we reported on a first-generation packaging cell line for gene vectors, which are based on the B-lymphotropic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human gamma-herpesvirus. T...
