Abstract

The present invention relates to peptides which exhibit potent anti-retroviral activity. The peptides of the invention comprise DP178 (SEQ ID:1) peptide corresponding to amino acids 638 to 673 of the HIV-1 LAI gp41 protein, and fragments, analogs and homologs of DP178. The invention further relates to the uses of such peptides as inhibitory of human and non-human retroviral, especially HIV, transmission to uninfected cells.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An isolated peptide recognized by an ALLMOTI5, 107×178×4 or a PLZIP sequence search motif.  
     
     
         2 . The peptide of  claim 1  wherein the peptide corresponds to a peptide present in a virus.  
     
     
         3 . The peptide of  claim 2  in which the virus is HIV-1 or HIV-2.  
     
     
         4 . The peptide of  claim 2  in which the virus is a respiratory syncytial virus.  
     
     
         5 . The peptide of  claim 2  in which the virus is a human parainfluenza virus.  
     
     
         6 . The peptide of  claim 2  in which the virus is an influenza virus.  
     
     
         7 . The peptide of  claim 2  in which the virus is a hepatitis B virus.  
     
     
         8 . The peptide of  claim 2  wherein the virus is an Epstein-Barr virus.  
     
     
         9 . A method for the inhibition of transmission of a virus to a cell, comprising contacting the cell with an effective concentration of a peptide recognized by an ALLMOTI5, 107×178×4 or a PLZIP sequence search motif for an effective period of time so that no infection of the cell by the virus occurs.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the virus is HIV-1 or HIV-2.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the virus is a respiratory syncytial virus.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the virus is a human parainfluenza virus.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the virus is an influenza virus.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  in which the virus is a hepatitis B virus.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the virus is an Epstein-Barr virus.
