Brief description Viruses are considered neither live nor dead, and it is understood that biological process within a virus must occur after it infects a cell. Our work reveals a previous unknown step in HIV known as pre-entry priming. These discoveries challenge our current dogma of how viruses function, and imply this pre-entry priming process is a built in mechanism for HIV to protect itself. This proposal will redefine our understanding of HIV and explore novel HIV vaccine design through these discoveries.
