Cyclotriazadisulfonamide hydrochloride is a selective inhibitor of CD4-targeted HIV entry and inhibits the co-translational translocation of human CD4 into the ER lumen in a signal peptide-dependent way.

DAPTA is a synthetic peptide, functions as a viral entry inhibitor by targeting selectively CCR5, and shows potent anti-HIV activities. DAPTA potently inhibits specific CD4-dependent binding of gp120 Bal (IC50 = 0.06 nM) and CM235 (IC50 = 0.32 nM) to CCR5.

HIV gag peptide (197-205) is a H-2Kd-restricted epitope derived from the p24 portion of the HIV-1 gag protein and composed of the amino acid 197-205 (AMQMLKETI).
