    摘要: Compositions for targeted mutagenesis of cell surface receptors for HIV and methods of their use are provided herein. The compositions include triplex-forming molecules that bind to duplex DNA in a sequence specific manner at target sites to form triple-stranded structures. The triplex-forming molecules can be triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) or peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). The triplex-forming molecules are useful to induce site-specific homologous recombination in mammalian cells when used in combination with donor oligonucleotides. The triplex-forming molecules target sites within or adjacent to genes that encodes cell surface receptors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This binding stimulates homologous recombination of a donor oligonucleotide to cause mutations in HIV cell surface receptor genes that result in one or more deficiencies in the ability of the encoded receptor to bind to HIV and allow its transport into the cell. Methods for ex vivo and in vivo prophylaxis and therapy of HIV infection using the disclosed compositions are also provided.
