Anti-HIV effects of CD4-Pseudomonas exotoxin on human lymphocyte and monocyte/macrophage cell lines
Abstract
CD4(178)-PE40 is a recombinant protein consisting of the HIV envelope glycoprotein-binding region of human CD4 linked to active domains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A. The hybrid toxin selectively kills HIV-infected human T-cell lines and protects against HIV spread in mixtures of uninfected and infected cells. We now report that CD4(178)-PE40 also selectively kills chronically HIV-1-infected cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage. The results provide further support for therapeutic use of this hybrid toxin in the treatment of HIV-infected individuals.
