    Snippet: Assuming that one has mapped the preferred neutralizing surfaces of a given virus, it might be possible to accentuate these targets by occluding and shielding otherwise distracting surfaces. Strategically placing glyco-moieties to shield surfaces of the spike protein has been proposed so to leave only the neutralizing surfaces exposed and subject to B-cell scrutiny. 44, 45 In essence, the use of trimeric spike proteins, as in the case of SOSIP tr.....
    Document: Assuming that one has mapped the preferred neutralizing surfaces of a given virus, it might be possible to accentuate these targets by occluding and shielding otherwise distracting surfaces. Strategically placing glyco-moieties to shield surfaces of the spike protein has been proposed so to leave only the neutralizing surfaces exposed and subject to B-cell scrutiny. 44, 45 In essence, the use of trimeric spike proteins, as in the case of SOSIP trimers for HIV-1, ensures that the inner surfaces of gp120 "chaff decoys" are avoided.
