Why might the knoblike proteins on the outer surface of hiv hold a key to the production of a vaccine against aids?

Biology
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]3 years ago
4 0

This is because the GP120 protein of the HIV virus that forms the ‘knob’ is essential for the infection of CD4 cells of the immune system by the virus. The glycoprotein is, therefore, a good target for vaccines especially since the molecule is highly conserved because most mutations in the region could be highly deleterious to the virus.

tekilochka [14]

Vectorborne transmission of an infectious organism occurs via <u>animals or insects. </u>

Vectors are living organisms that can transfer an infectious disease from infected animals to humans. These species are known as arthropods. It includes mosquitoes, ticks, triatomine bugs, sandflies, etc.

There are two types of vectors; Biological and mechanical.

Biological vectors such as mosquitos transmit the disease by biting the host body. Mechanical vectors on the other hand cause infectious disease just by physical contact.

Arthropod vectors are cold-blooded. The diseases that are transmitted by them are known as vector-borne diseases. Malaria and Dengue are examples of vector-borne diseases.
