背景说明:Peptide T (TFA) 是源自HIV-1 gp120的V2区的八肽。 Peptide T是 CD4 受体的配体,可阻止 HIV 与CD4受体结合。Peptide T (TFA) is an octapeptide from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. Peptide T is a ligand for the CD4 receptor and prevents binding of HIV to the CD4 receptor. In Vivo:Peptide T is administered subcutaneously at different doses and phases of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) disease, but Peptide T neither prevents nor ameliorates EAE. In Vitro:Peptide T acts to block viral entry as it inhibits in the MAGI cell assay and blocks infection in the luciferase reporter assay using HIV virions pseudotyped with ADA envelope. Peptide T selectively inhibits HIV replication using chemokine receptor CCR5 compared to CXC4. Peptide T at 10-8 M induces IL-10 production by the human Th2 cell line and PBMC. Also peptide T at 10-9 M concentration significantly inhibits IFN-g production by PBMC. 参考文献:[1] Ruff MR, et al. Peptide T[4-8] is core HIV envelope sequence required for CD4 receptor attachment.
