HIV p17 Gag (77-85) is an attractive target for molecular intervention, because it is involved in the viral replication cycle at both the pre- and postintegration levels. In the present experiments, we targeted p17 by intracellularly expressing a cDNA encoding an Ab to p17.

YIR-819 is a small-molecule CD4 mimic that acts as a highly potent HIV entry inhibitor.

HIV-1 Rev (34-50) is a 17-aa peptide derived from the Rev-responsive element (RRE)-binding domains of Rev in HIV-1, with anti-HIV-1 activity. HIV-1 Rev peptide is a one of the cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) derived from HIV-1 Rev protein residue 34-50. It is a RNA binding peptideand has been used to deliver macromolecules into cells.
