Trimeric Class I Viral Fusion Protein Vaccine Immunogens Using a Trimeric Autotransporter in a Killed Whole-Cell Bacteria Vaccine Platform: Applications to HIV MPER

Background: Trimeric envelope-proximal domains in viral class I fusion proteins are conserved targets of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), but it has proven difficult to develop vaccines against those targets. The HIV-1 gp41 membrane-proximal external region (MPER) is one...
