Phosphorothioate Oligonucleotides Inhibit Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Fusion by Blocking gp41 Core Formation
28 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Several studies have shown that phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (PS-ONs) have a sequence-independent antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It has also been suggested that PS-ONs inhibit HIV-1 by acting as attachment inhibitors that bind to the V3 loop of gp120 and prevent the gp120-CD4 interaction. Here we show that PS-ONs (and their fully 2'-O-methylated derivatives) are...
