env glycoproteins การใช้

• Furthermore, HERV-W env glycoprotein has been shown to contain an immunosuppressive region.
• Both SU and TM glycoproteins are heavily glycosylated, a characteristic that scientists believe may mask the B-cell epitopes of the Env glycoprotein giving the virus resistance to the virus neutralizing antibodies.
• HERV-W s main gene expression is ERVWE-1 which is a highly fusogenic env glycoprotein also called syncytin-1 because it induces the formation of syncytia ( multinucleated cells ).
