Dictionary » G » Gp120 Gp120Gp120 (Science: protein, virology) a glycoprotein from HIV's envelope that binds to the cd4 molecules on cells outside membrane. free gp120 in the body may be toxic to cells on its own, causing cd4 cell depletion in the immune system through apoptosis and neurological damage leading to aids dementia complex. ![]()

Results from our forumVaccine for HIV... The epitopes of the viral envelope are more variable than those of many other viruses. Furthermore, the functionally important epitopes of the gp120 protein are masked by glycosylation, trimerisation and receptor-induced conformational changes making it difficult to block with neutralising ...

Re:... cell to a Cd4 t cell, and place the CD3 protein on the surface of the CD4 t cell to act as a replacement. This would hopefully make it so that HIV gp120 wouldnt be able to bind to t-cells Perhaps I'm missing something here, but as far as I know both gamma/delta and "normal" alpha/beta ...

Re: HIV Exposure to air... virus particles inside the human body. Don't understand fully why it is that some molecule cannot be developed with a high affinity to the GP160 (GP120 + GP41) complex that would effectively avoid other receptors on other cells?

Trap for viruses...... catching viruses, than be consumed with it's content by immune system - perfect scenario. And remember that every HIV virus has some version of gp120 - should catch the bait...
