Promotion of the neutralization-competent structure of the HIV-1 gp41 membrane proximal external region when tethered to its native transmembrane domain, and expressed in the context of the plasma membrane: implications for vaccine design (53.24)

Abstract: The limited success of vaccines targeting the MPER, a target of three broadly neutralizing (bNt) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), we hypothesize, reflects the difficulty of mimicking the neutralization-competent structure (NCS) of the MPER. We determined the contribution of the amino-acid sequence and the transmembrane domain (TM), to the antigenicity of the MPER in the context of the plasma membrane. DNA constructs encoding various gp41 ectodomain fragments, and the TM of either the platelet-derived growth facto… Show more
