01
Overview
An HIV-1 epitope is a specific part of a viral protein recognized by the immune system. These epitopes, found on proteins like gp120, gp41, Gag, Pol, and Nef, elicit antibody and T-cell responses. High genetic diversity leads to epitope variation, enabling the virus to evade immunity through mutations and glycan shielding. Effective vaccine design is challenged by the limited breadth of naturally elicited antibodies and the poor immunogenicity of certain epitopes.
