Deskripsi

HIV envelope (Env) is a potential vaccine antigen and its N-glycans are part of the epitope of broadly neutralizing antibodies. Here, the authors show that glycosylation of Env from infectious virus closely matches Env from recombinant membrane-bound trimers, while it differs significantly from recombinant soluble, cleaved Env trimers.
