Biodiversity and bioseparation of HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins
Abstract:
Since 1984, studies from almost every branch of modern biology have filled in many gaps in our knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This review focuses on studies of biodiversity and bioseparation of HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins from the vaccine development point of view. It presents an updated picture of different systems for producing either native or recombinant HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins for the preparation of vaccine candidates. The prevention of HIV-1-associated disease is highly relevant to the abrogation of the neoplastic processes associated with this pathogen.
