摘要:
A method for detecting HIV infection in a mammal is disclosed. The method contains the steps of isolating exosomes from a urine sample of a mammal and detecting the presence of HFV-specific biomarker in said isolated exosomes. A method for diagnosing a mammal with an HIV-associated disease, in particular, HIV-associated nephropathy is also disclosed.
摘要:
Host RNA/viral protein interaction as a target of intervention in the replication of viruses, e.g., the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are described. The target being upstream of the final replication product, and being crucial to the viral replication, is less likely to be genetically altered to drug resistance. Peptides that intervene in this RNA/viral protein interaction are also described, as well as compositions containing the same and methods of use thereof.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for identifying peptides in a mammalian Tsg101 protein that binds to the PTAPP motif or L domain of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). Such peptides can be used to inhibit Tsg101-HIV Gag binding, and is therefore effective in reducing HIV particle production. The invention also provides the peptides identified by the method of the invention and to method of using such peptides for treating HIV infection.

摘要:
The invention concerns a reagent for detecting and monitoring viral infections, caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its uses for detecting human immunodeficiency. Said reaction comprises a mixture consisting of (1) an antigenic peptide coded by the HIV pol gene comprising 60 amino acids, preferably between 20 and 40 amino acids; and (2) a mixture (called mixotope) of convergent combinatorial peptides, derived form said antigenic peptides.
摘要:
Monoclonal neutralizing antibodies are disclosed that specifically bind to the HIV-1 gp41 membrane-proximal external region (MPER). Also disclosed are compositions including the disclosed antibodies that specifically bind gp41, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors including the nucleic acids, and isolated host cells that express the nucleic acids. The antibodies and compositions disclosed herein can be used for detecting the presence of HIV-1 in a biological sample, or detecting an HIV-1 infection or diagnosing AIDS in a subject. In additional, the broad neutralization breadth of the disclosed antibodies makes them ideal for treating a subject with an HIV infection. Thus, disclosed are methods of treating and/or preventing HIV infection.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel compositions and methods that can be used for determining the susceptibility of a virus to an attachment inhibitor. The present invention also provides methods for predicting whether an infected individual will respond to treatment with an attachment inhibitor, thereby allowing an effective treatment regimen to be designed without subjecting the patient to unnecessary side effects.
摘要:
This invention provides novel HIV-interacting host factors. The invention also provides methods of using the HIV-interacting host factors to screen for compounds that inhibit HIV infection. The methods comprise first screening test compounds for modulators of an HIV-interacting host factor disclosed herein, and then further screening the identified modulating compounds for ability to inhibit HIV infection. The invention further provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating diseases and conditions associated with HIV infection.
