B-Cell Sites in the HIV Glycoproteins

  • Chapter
Book cover Immunology of HIV Infection

Abstract

HIV, like other lentiviruses, has the capacity to direct the synthesis of a large number of different proteins. Some of these proteins participate in the formation of virus particles, whereas other proteins of a nonstructural nature appear in infected cells and may be released by secretion or in connection with a possible death of such cells. Each of these different proteins has a varying number of immunogenic sites, which may elicit humoral as well as cell-mediated responses. An acute infection with HIV as a consequence can lead to the mobilization of a large spectrum of immune responses. It is a daunting task to define the dynamics and specificities of these reactions. A considerable amount of information has already accumulated in this field, but more knowledge is needed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complete relationship. There are three major contexts in which knowledge of HIV immunobiology is applicable.
