Abstract excerpt
A sulfated polysaccharide, curdlan sulfate (CRDS) with 1,3-beta-D-glucan as a main chain, inhibits HIV-1 infection of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) by binding to the V3 region of gp 120. We previously showed that T cell (T)-tropic HIV-1 isolates are over 10-fold more sensitive to neutralization by CRDS than macrophage (MT)-tropic viruses, which possesses a relatively less charged amino acid...
