For example, one of the most densely glycosylated viral spike proteins is HIV-1 Env, which exhibits ~60% oligomannose-type glycans (21, 34). This suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 S protein is less densely glycosylated and that the glycans form less of a shield compared with other viral glycoproteins, including HIV-1 Env and LASV GPC, which may be beneficial for the elicitation of neutralizing antibodies.","typesettings":[{"style":"italic","span":{"begin":292,"end":294}},{"style":"italic","span":{"begin":296,"end":298}}],"project":"LitCovid-PD-GlycoEpitope"}
