Human Immunodeficiency Virus Antigen (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Viral Protein, Envelope Glycoprotein (gp120, gp41), Capsid Protein (p24), Matrix Protein (p17)

Overview

Human immunodeficiency virus antigens encompass several structural proteins essential for viral infectivity, immune evasion, diagnosis, and therapeutic targeting. The surface-exposed envelope glycoprotein complex—comprising trimeric assemblies of gp120/gp41—is especially important due to its role in mediating entry into host cells through sequential interactions with CD4 receptors followed by chemokine co-receptors. These same molecules represent major targets for vaccines but present significant challenges owing to their high variability and extensive shielding from immune recognition by glycans.
