The HIV-1 envelope contains multiply overlapping (and redundant) mechanisms of humoral immune defence. These including glycan shielding, conformational masking, and immunodominant decoys with variable loops. Although explored extensively, many of these mechanisms are still only partially understood. We are using structure-based methods to define them further. In addition, we are examining the fusion glycoprotein from respiratory syncytial virus, to understand its mechanisms of humoral evasion.

HIV-1包膜包含多重重叠（和冗余）的体液免疫防御机制。 这些包括聚糖屏蔽、构象掩蔽和具有可变环的免疫显性诱饵。 尽管已经广泛探索，但其中许多机制仍然只是部分了解。 我们正在使用基于结构的方法来进一步定义它们。 此外，我们正在研究呼吸道合胞病毒的融合糖蛋白，以了解其体液逃避机制。
