摘要:
The importance of interaction between TSG101 and Vps28 in the release of HIV-1 and other viruses is disclosed. Suppressing or interfering in this interaction may inhibit HIV-1 virion release from infected cells. Agents that modulate this interaction include antibodies that bind to Vps28, polypeptides that bind to Vps28, and nucleic acids that may be used in gene therapy to interfere with the expression of wild type Vps28. Administration of such agents in vitro for screening and diagnostic purposes, and in vivo for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, is disclosed.
摘要:
The invention provides methods and compositions based on the interaction of TSG101 and VPS28 proteins for treatment of viral infections, including HIV infections. The invention also provides TSG101-VPS28 based methods and compositions for evaluation and screening of drugs which can be used for treating viral infections.
