HIV Glycoprotein 41 and Complement Factor H Interact with Each Other and Share Functional as Well as Antigenic Homology
1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
We have shown that complement factor H (CFH) interacts with HIV-1 at the level of the sequence Env 105-119, contained in the C1 domain of gp120. CFH interaction with HIV was evident only after dissociation of the Env complex induced by exposure to sCD4. We hypothesized that CFH could act as a gp41 analog in the interaction with Env 105-119. A panel of partially overlapping, synthetic peptides reproducing the...
