Roles of HIV-1 Env variable regions in viral neutralization and vaccine development.

abstract：:Superinfection is defined as infection by a second virus during an immunologic steady state, following infection by a primary virus. It is now well established that superinfection with HIV-1 occurs in humans. Detection of an increasing number of circulating recombinant forms, which result from infection of a cell by t...
