    Document: The development of an effective, safe, and affordable vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is needed to control the worldwide HIV pandemic. At present, there is no vaccine against HIV approved for clinical use. There are three obstacles that hinder creation of an HIV-1 vaccine: viral diversity, immune system evasion, and the lack of appropriate animal models for vaccine evaluation [1] . A major approach used to overcome viral immune evasion is to exploit the conserved regions of HIV-1 proteins, for example, the conserved sites of envelope glycoprotein gp120 critical for binding to CD4 as well as co-receptors, or the envelope (transmembrane) protein gp41 co-receptor binding site [2] [3] [4] [5] . Inducing production of broadly reactive Mabs could potentially counteract HIV-1 diversity. These two potential solutions of HIV-1 vaccine development could potentially be realized by exploiting prophylactic HIV-1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines [6] .
