Abstract excerpt
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting HIV-1gag, vif, tat, rev and host CD4 and CCR5 have been reported to inhibit HIV replication. However, the sequence divergence of HIV and the concentration dependence of siRNA activity represent significant challenges to RNAi mediated inhibition. To determine the parameters of RNAi in suppression of HIV-1 we screened seven siRNA candidates targeting highly conserved...
