Potent and Specific Inhibition of HIV Envelope-Mediated Cell Fusion and Virus Binding by G Quartet-Forming Oligonucleotide (ISIS 5320)
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported identification of a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide TTGGGGTT (ISIS 5320) as a potent inhibitor of HIV infection in vitro. The oligonucleotide forms a parallel-stranded, tetrameric guanosine quartet (G-quartet) structure that specifically binds to the HIV envelope glycoprotein (gp120) and inhibits both cell-to-cell and virus-to-cell infection at submicromolar concentrations. In the...
