Design of a binding scaffold based on variable lymphocyte receptors of jawless vertebrates by module engineering.

abstract：:With efforts underway to develop a preventive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine, it remains unclear which immune responses are sufficient to protect against infection and whether prior HIV-1 immunity can alter the subsequent course of HIV-1 infection. We investigated these issues in the context of a ...
