Nearly all vaccine strategies to induce bnAbs require the use of complex immunization regimens involving a series of different immunogens, most of which are Env trimers. Producing protein-based clinical material to evaluate such relatively complex regimens in humans presents major challenges in cost and time. Furthermore, immunization with HIV trimers as soluble proteins induces strong nonneutralizing responses to the trimer base, which is normally occluded on the virion. These base responses could potentially detract from the elicitation of nAbs and the eventual induction of bnAbs. mRNA vaccine platforms offer potential advantages over protein delivery for HIV vaccine development, including increased production speed, reduced cost, and the ability to deliver membrane-bound trimers that might facilitate improved immuno-focusing to nonbase epitopes. We report the design of mRNA-delivered soluble and membrane-bound forms of a stabilized native-like Env trimer (BG505 MD39.3); initial immunogenicity evaluation in rabbits that triggered clinical evaluation; and more comprehensive evaluation of B cell, T cell, and antibody responses in nonhuman primates. mRNA-encoded membrane-bound Env immunization elicited reduced off-target base-directed Env responses and stronger nAb responses compared with mRNA-encoded soluble Env. Overall, mRNA delivery of membrane-bound Env appears promising for enhancing B cell responses to subdominant epitopes and facilitating rapid translation to clinical testing, which should assist HIV vaccine development.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
