Recently discovered broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against HIV-1 demonstrate extensive breadth and potency against diverse HIV-1 strains and represent a promising approach for the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection. The breadth and potency of these antibodies have primarily been evaluated by using panels of HIV-1 Env-pseudotyped viruses produced in 293T cells expressing molecu...

Theophylline-7-acetic acid (7-TAA) derivatives with several amino acids were screened for antiproliferative effects on acute (HL-60) and chronic (K-562) myeloid leukemia cells as well as on non-malignant cells derived from embryonic human kidney (HEK 293T). The anti-proliferative effects (IC50) were revealed at relatively high concentrations, between 330.4 and 1051.9 μM, but the tested compound...

By using the C-terminal 112-residue of band 3 to screen the K562 cDNA library, we find that the p16 interacts with band 3, which was confirmed both in yeast and in mammalian cells. Functional experiments show that p16 facilitates the movement of band 3 to plasma membrane with increased anion transport activity in 293t cells. Moreover, expression of endogenous p16 in 293t cells was increased at ...
