Alteration of Methamphetamine-induced stereotypic behaviour in transgenic mice expressing HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 [PDF]
The use of drugs for recreational purposes, in particular Methamphetamine, is associated with an increased risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. HIV-1 infection in turn can lead to HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND) that range from mild cognitive and motor impairment to HIV-associated dementia (HAD). Interestingly, post

Helix-A peptide prevents gp120-mediated neuronal loss
Aim The human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope protein gp120 promotes synaptic damage similar to that observed in people living with HIV who have neurocognitive disorders.

A Review on Medicinal Chemistry and Biological Activity of Dihydropyrimidinones Against HIV
This article presents the latest advances in the development of dihydropyrimidinone (DHPM) derivatives as promising candidates against HIV. By exploring their interactions with essential viral targets and highlighting innovative compounds with potent antiviral activity, we provide an updated perspective on the opportunities for new antiretroviral ...

Abstract Introduction A proportion of people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to restore their CD4 count or their CD4/CD8 ratio despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH with immune non‐response (INR) are at a higher risk of both AIDS and non‐AIDS events. The underlying mechanisms of INR remain unclear.

PET imaging of HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 using 18F-labeled nanobodies
Radiolabeled antibodies against the HIV-1 envelope protein, gp120, have been previously tested in animal models and in people with HIV (PWH). Nanobodies offer advantages over antibodies, including smaller size and faster clearance, which allow labeling with fluorine-18.

Heavy glycosylation of the envelope (Env) surface subunit, gp120, is a key adaptation of HIV-1; however, the precise effects of glycosylation on the folding, conformation and dynamics of this protein are poorly understood. Here we explore the patterns of HIV-1 Env gp120 glycosylation, and particularly the enrichment in glycosylation sites proximal to ...

Evolution of the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins with a disulfide bond between gp120 and gp41
Background We previously described the construction of an HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein complex (Env) that is stabilized by an engineered intermolecular disulfide bond (SOS) between gp120 and gp41.

A novel HIV vaccine adjuvanted by IC31 induces robust and persistent humoral and cellular immunity. [PDF]
The HIV vaccine strategy that, to date, generated immune protection consisted of a prime-boost regimen using a canarypox vector and an HIV envelope protein with alum, as shown in the RV144 trial.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Mutant CD4 Molecules with Improved Binding to HIV Envelope Protein gp120 Selected by Phage Display
Phage-display methodology has been used to select variant CD4 proteins exhibiting increased binding to the surface envelope glycoprotein, gp120, of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1. To facilitate the selection, a library of mutant CD4 proteins was constructed by cloning a PCR-generated error prone population of the first two domains of CD4 into the ...
