Target Information

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2), orginally isolated from patients in West Africa, is the dominant form of HIV in West Africa capable of causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV-1 and HIV-2 share similarity in their genomes, transmission, clinical features, immunological effects and in their action of binding to the same CD4 cellular receptor, but there are significant differences in the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of HIV-1 and HIV-2, especially with regard to their envelope glycoproteins. Additionally, HIV-2 may have a longer incubation period and may be less pathogenic than HIV-1. HIV-2 gp39 is an envelope glycoprotein that is specific to HIV-2 and may assist in viral infection of the host cell.
