Abstract

Background The ability to induce a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) response following vaccination is regarded as a crucial aspect in developing an effective HIV-1 vaccine. This study describes the design and construction of a subtype C founder virus consensus Env immunogen derived from newly transmitted/founder virus sequences, and its immunogenicity testing in the presence or absence of liganded CD4, in small animals.

Highlights

  • Immunogenicity of native and CD4 liganded monomeric and trimeric envelope glycoproteins based on HIV-1 Subtype C consensus Founder virus sequences
