Novel peptides based on HIV-1 gp120 sequence with homology to chemokines inhibit HIV infection in cell culture.

The sequential interaction of the envelope glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) with CD4 and certain chemokine coreceptors initiates host cell entry of the virus. The appropriate chemokines have been shown to inhibit viral replication by blocking interaction of the gp120 e...
