Abstract: The HIV-1 gp41 Membrane Proximal External Region (MPER) is recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies and represents a promising vaccine target. However, MPER immunogenicity and antibody activity are influenced by membrane lipids. To evaluate lipid modulation… read more here.

Abstract: Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that target the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV gp41 envelope, such as 4E10 and VRC42.01, can neutralize >95% of viruses. These two MPER-directed monoclonal antibodies share germline antibody genes (IGHV1-69… read more here.
