HIV virion Virology A virion with a 100 nm in diameter lipid envelope surrounding a dense cylindrical nucleoid containing core proteins, reverse transcriptase and a genome with sequence similarity to non-cell-transforming
lentiviridae–eg, visna and caprine encephalitis viruses; envelope proteins gp41, gp120; nucelocapsid proteins p24, p17, p9, p7 How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

| These particles contain Env anchored to the viral envelope, thus retaining native conformation, and although they neither replicate nor contain the HIV genome, they do closely resemble intact HIV virions (see Figure). In Aphios' vaccine technology, HIV virions are filled with SuperFluids, which are critical, supercritical or near-critical fluids with or without polar cosolvents. When this intact replicated HIV virion is exposed to the body's host cells, it primes the immune response system, resulting in sufficient and broadly neutralizing antibodies that provide immunity against HIV. |
