Structure and immunogenicity of a stabilized HIV-1 envelope trimer based on a group-M consensus sequence

Stabilized, native-like trimers of the HIV envelope protein, such as SOSIP trimers, are potential antigens for an HIV vaccine. Here, the authors generate a SOSIP trimer based on the consensus sequence of group M isolates, determine its structure and exposure of common epitopes, and show immunogenici...
