    Snippet: One of the most important regions of the HIV-1 Env protein is the V1V2 loop. IgG antibodies raised against this loop were inversely correlated with the risk of infection in the RV144 clinical trial [29] . Studies indicate that the V1V2 loop of the protein does not assume a unique defined structure [30] . As a result of the high density of glycans on the Env protein, most efforts in subunit vaccine development have used mammalian cells for bio-pro.....
    Document: One of the most important regions of the HIV-1 Env protein is the V1V2 loop. IgG antibodies raised against this loop were inversely correlated with the risk of infection in the RV144 clinical trial [29] . Studies indicate that the V1V2 loop of the protein does not assume a unique defined structure [30] . As a result of the high density of glycans on the Env protein, most efforts in subunit vaccine development have used mammalian cells for bio-production. However, similar to the influenza hemagglutinin, a potential HIV-1 V1V2 vaccine candidate could be developed with an antigen that is expressed in E. coli, without glycosylation but with native-like conformation to induce high titers of high affinity antibodies that could prevent the initial infection [31] .
