    摘要: The present invention provides methods and compositions useful for the elimination of latent HIV reservoirs that persist despite HAART. The methods and compositions overcome this latent barrier by inducing the replication of HIV in latently infected T cells while preventing the spread of the newly produced virions to uninfected cells by providing HAART simultaneously. Compositions of the invention comprise an activator of latent HIV expression, such as prostratin, and an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, such as TSA. A surprising finding of this invention is that the inhibitor of the histone deacetylase synergizes the effect of prostratin thus, allowing administering to a patient a lower, non-toxic dose of prostratin.

    摘要: The present invention provides the molecular basis for cytokine induction of NF-&kgr;B-dependent immune and inflammatory responses, emphasizing a role for both NIK-NIK and NIK-IKK protein-protein interactions. A relatively small region of NIK selectively impairs the NIK-IKK interaction. The present invention provides a highly specific method for modulating NF-&kgr;B-dependent immune, inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic responses, based on interruption of the critical protein-protein interaction of NIK and IKK. The present invention provides methods for inhibiting NF-&kgr;B-dependent gene expression, using mutant NIK proteins. One embodiment of the present invention provides kinase-deficient NIK mutant proteins that inhibit activation of IKK. Another embodiment of the invention provides N-terminus NIK mutant proteins that bind IKK, thus inhibiting NIK/IKK interaction.

    摘要: The present invention provides the molecular basis for cytokine induction of NF-&kgr;B-dependent immune and inflammatory responses, emphasizing a role for both NIK-NIK and NIK-IKK protein—protein interactions. A relatively small region of NIK selectively impairs the NIK-IKK interaction. The present invention provides a novel and highly specific method for modulating NF-&kgr;B-dependent immune, inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic responses, based on interruption of the critical protein—protein interaction of NIK and IKK. The present invention provides methods for inhibiting NF-&kgr;B-dependent gene expression, using mutant NIK proteins.

    摘要: The present invention features methods and compositions relating to a virion-based fusion assay for detection of infection of a target cell by an enveloped retroviral virion such as HIV. The assay uses virions containing a chimeric viral protein comprising a viral accessory polypeptide (such as Vpr) fused to a reporter polypeptide (such as beta-lactamase). Fusion of the virion with a target cell membrane results in intracellular delivery of the chimeric protein to the target cell, which in turn provides for detection of a detectable signal mediated by the reporter polypeptide portion of the chimeric polypeptide. Significant detectable signal is only detected following intracellular delivery of the chimeric viral protein, thus providing for detection of productive viral entry to the exclusion of non-productive, endocytic entry of virions into the cell.
