Neutralization of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 by sCD4-17b, a Single-Chain Chimeric Protein, Based on Sequential Interaction of gp120 with CD4 and Coreceptor
12 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
We designed a novel single-chain chimeric protein, designated sCD4-17b, for neutralization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The recombinant protein contains domains 1 and 2 of soluble CD4 (sCD4), connected via a flexible polypeptide linker to a single-chain variable region construct of 17b, a human monoclonal antibody that targets a conserved CD4-induced epitope on gp120 overlapping the coreceptor...
