Designing CD4 immunoadhesins for AIDS therapy

Nature volume 337, pages 525–531 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

A newly-constructed antibody-like molecule containing the gp!20-binding domain of the receptor for human immunodeficiency virus blocks HIV-1 infection of T cells and monocytes. Its long plasma half-life, other antibody-like properties, and potential to block all HIV isolates, make it a good candidate for therapeutic use.
