Popis: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein (Env) mediates host cell infection by binding to the cellular receptor CD4. Recombinant Env bound to CD4 has been explored for its potential as an HIV vaccine immunogen as receptor binding exposes otherwise shielded, conserved functional sites. Previous preclinical studies showed an interchain disulphide linkage facilitated between Env and 2dCD4
