Abstract:
:HIV-1 evades antibody-mediated neutralization in many cunning ways. The recent structural characterization of a conserved neutralization epitope on the envelope glycoprotein complex (Env) provides clues to the vulnerabilities of the virus. We discuss these observations and explain their relevance for HIV-1 vaccine design.
