FIG. 5.

Consensus protein alignment of HIV-1 gp120 V3 to V5 env gene regions. Shown is a comparison of regions V3 through V5 of a subtype B consensus sequence (top) and consensus sequences for mother time-of-delivery PBMC (MPBMC), mother neutralization escape (MNE), and infant first-positive-time-point PBMC (BPBL) for each of the nine MB pairs analyzed. Dashes indicate conserved residues relative to the subtype B consensus; dots indicate deleted residues; substitutions are indicated by the amino acid letter. ConB, clade B consensus sequence.
