Abstract excerpt
Secreted phospholipases A(2) (sPLA(2)s) represent a new class of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) inhibitors that block the early steps of virus entry into cells. Here, we applied an in vitro evolution/selection procedure to select, from primary HIV isolates, an emerging variant (HIV(RBV-3)) able to actively infect cells in the presence of sPLA(2)s. HIV(RBV-3) represents a very atypical HIV-1 isolate because,...
