Recent HIV-1 vaccine development has centered on "near native" soluble envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimers that are artificially stabilized laterally (between protomers) and apically (between gp120 and gp41).

Molecular footprint of drug-selective pressure in a human immunodeficiency virus transmission chain [PDF]
Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission histories are invaluable models for investigating the evolutionary and transmission dynamics of the virus and to assess the accuracy of phylogenetic reconstructions.

Analysis of the subunit stoichiometries in viral entry. [PDF]
Virions of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infect cells by first attaching with their surface spikes to the CD4 receptor on target cells. This leads to conformational changes in the viral spikes, enabling the virus to engage a coreceptor, commonly

Multimeric scaffolds displaying the HIV-1 envelope MPER induce MPER-specific antibodies and cross-neutralizing antibodies when co-immunized with gp160 DNA. [PDF]
Developing a vaccine that overcomes the diversity of HIV-1 is likely to require a strategy that directs antibody (Ab) responses toward conserved regions of the viral Envelope (Env).

Genetic and immunological characterization of new subtype G envelope expressing HIV-1 pseudoviruses [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references.One of the greatest challenges for the development of an effective HIV-1 vaccine is the high genetic diversity of this pathogen and the complex escape mechanisms employed by the envelope gp120 and gp41 glycoprotein ...
