Abstract

HIV vaccine development has been hampered by the inability of conventional immunogens to elicit antibodies capable of neutralizing primary isolates of the virus. Recent studies using 'fusion-competent' immunogens that capture transitional intermediate structures of the functioning envelope protein suggest that this goal may now be achievable.
