Evidence
|
To confirm the role of the V2 loop tyrosines in maintaining the HIV-1 trimer in a closed, antibody-protected configuration, we tested the sensitivity of the double-alanine mutant HIV-1 BaL Y173A Y177A to neutralization by a larger panel of weakly or nonneutralizing antibodies directed against diverse Env antigenic regions, including non-glycan-dependent V2 loop epitopes, the tip of the V3 loop, the CD4-BS, and the coreceptor-binding site.
