Abstract excerpt
The monoclonal antibodies 1696 and F11.2.32 strongly inhibit the activity of wild-type HIV-1 protease (PR) by binding to epitopes at the enzyme N-terminus (residues 1-6) and flap residues 36-46, respectively. Here we demonstrate that these antibodies are also potent inhibitors of PR variants resistant to active-site inhibitors used as anti-AIDS drugs. Our in vitro experiments revealed that the inhibitory potency...
