Target Information
Feline immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoprotein gp150 (Env) is a critical component of the FIV virus, mediating viral entry by binding to host receptors such as CD134. It is highly variable and immunogenic, making it a key target for neutralizing antibodies. In veterinary medicine, gp150 is used to develop diagnostic assays and vaccines. However, its high variability can complicate vaccine efficacy. Additionally, the signal peptide of Env acts as a tetherin antagonist, facilitating viral release from host cells. Understanding gp150's role in viral entry and immune evasion is crucial for developing effective antiviral strategies against FIV infections.
