2004 DEC 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Scientists describe the molecular makeup of the HIV-1 envelope protein in a recent issue of International Reviews of Immunology.
According to recent research from Yugoslavia, "A broad range of structural, functional, and immunological similarities between HIV-1 gp120 and human proteins, especially those participating in immune responses, highlight gp120 as a pleiotropic protein that can in different ways affect many important functions of the human immune system."
"Here we described some of these properties of HIV-1 gp120 that represent the main obstacle in the development of effective and safe AIDS vaccines," wrote Veljko Veljkovic and colleagues at the Institute of Nuclear Sciences.
Veljkovic and associates published their study in International Reviews of Immunology ...
