Structure-based stabilization of HIV-1 gp120 enhances humoral immune responses to the induced co-receptor binding site.
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) exterior envelope glycoprotein, gp120, possesses conserved binding sites for interaction with the primary virus receptor, CD4, and also for the co-receptor, generally CCR5. Although gp120 is a major target for virus-specific neutralizing antibodies, th...
