摘要: Extracellular Tat is suspected to protect HIV-1-infected cells from cellular immunity. Seropositive patients are unable produce neutralizing antibodies against Tat, and still secreted under antiviral treatment. In mice, the OYI vaccine candidate generates such as mAb 7G12. A peptide called MIMOOX was designed fragments of identified possible binding site for chemically synthesized, its structure stabilized with a disulfide bridge. Circular dichroism spectra showed that had mainly β turns but no α helix OYI. recognized by 7G12 in ELISA only reduced conditions. Moreover, competitive recognition assay between variants mimics highly conserved surface variants. Rat immunizations induce recognizing main HIV-1 subtypes confirm approach.
