Title:
INHIBITION OF NON-CD4 MEDIATED HIV INFECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1993001820
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A specific nonCD4-gp120 receptor has been isolated which has specific binding affinity for the gp120 surface protein of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods of treating HIV infection of CD4 negative cells, such as colon and brain, are disclosed together with methods of detecting HIV and diagnostic kits.
