Resistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملQuantification Analysis of Dot Blot Assays for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and 2 Antibodies
Objective Dot Blot (DB) assay provides highly specific results, but usually not reliable for quantification of antibody production. The need for a more objective DB assay to provide a better definition of the immune status, against HIV antigens, promoted this study to be done to develop a quantitative DB assay. Material and Methods Dot blot (DB) strips for antibodies directed to human immuno...
متن کاملInactivation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by the amine oxidase-peroxidase system.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is rapidly inactivated by exposure to a naturally occurring antimicrobial system consisting of peroxidase, H2O2, and a halide. Among the potential sources of H2O2 is the amine oxidase system in which mono-, di-, and polyamines are oxidatively deaminated with the formation of H2O2. The polyamine spermine is present at exceptionally high concentrations ...
متن کاملInactivation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by ozone in vitro.
A device was designed to deliver a constant source of given concentrations of ozone to fluids containing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Ozone was found to inactivate HIV-1 virions in a dose-dependent manner. Greater than 11 log inactivation was achieved within 2 hours at a concentration of 1,200 ppm ozone. Similar concentrations of ozone had minimal effect on factor VIII activity ...
متن کاملInhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 by cdk inhibitors
Current therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection relies primarily on the administration of anti-retroviral nucleoside analogues, either alone or in combination with HIV-protease inhibitors. Although these drugs have a clinical benefit, continuous therapy with the drugs leads to drug-resistant strains of the virus. Recently, significant progress has been made towards the develo...
