Contemporary HIV-1 consensus Env with AI-assisted redesigned hypervariable loops promote antibody binding

Abstract An effective HIV-1 vaccine must elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against highly diverse Envelope glycoproteins (Env). Since Env with the longest hypervariable (HV) loops is more resistant to the cognate bnAbs than Env with shorter HV loops, we redesigned hypervariable loops fo...
