Elite suppressor-derived HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins exhibit reduced entry efficiency and kinetics.
Elite suppressors (ES) are a rare subset of HIV-1-infected individuals who are able to maintain HIV-1 viral loads below the limit of detection by ultra-sensitive clinical assays in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. Mechanism(s) responsible for this elite control are poorly understood but likely...
