Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exploits cell surface receptors to attach to and gain
entry into cells. The HIV envelope spike glycoprotein on the surface of virus particles binds …

Chemokines and chemokine receptors play a crucial role in the trafficking of leukocyte
populations across the body, and are involved in the development of a large variety of …

The novel antiviral agent cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) inhibited human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)(IC50, 0.3–3.2 μM) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) infection …

Viruses use specific cell surface receptors to bind to and subsequently gain entry into their
host cells. Some retroviruses such as HIV‐1 and HIV‐2 utilize one receptor for high‐affinity …

HIV-1 to CD4" cells which comprise contacting CD" cells with a non-chemokine agent
capable of binding to a chemokine receptor in an amount and under conditions Such that …

Chemokine receptors are membrane proteins that play an important role in inflammation
and the cellular entry of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). Understanding the …

The formation of a complex among gp120, CD4, and CCR5/CXCR4 represents a key step in
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The use of synthetic peptides reproducing …

Enveloped animal viruses infect host cells by fusion of viral and target membranes. This
crucial fusion event occurs either with the plasma membrane of the host cells or with the …

A reporter-gene cell-cell fusion assay was developed and used to study inhibition of HIV-
mediated membrane fusion. The cell-cell fusion assay is simple, highly sensitive, and …
