Summary for Patent: 9,441,041
Title:Use of antagonists of the interaction between HIV GP120 and .alpha.4.beta.7 integrin
Abstract: Methods are provided for the treatment of a HIV infection. The methods can include administering to a subject with an HIV infection a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that interferes with the interaction of gp120 and .alpha.4 integrin, such as a .alpha.4.beta.1 or .alpha.4.beta.7 integrin antagonist, thereby treating the HIV infection. In several examples, the .alpha.4 integrin antagonist is a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a .alpha.4, .beta.1 or .beta.7 integrin subunit or a cyclic hexapeptide with the amino acid sequence of CWLDVC. Methods are also provided to reduce HIV replication or infection. The methods include contacting a cell with an effective amount of an agent that interferes with the interaction of gp120 and .alpha.4 integrin, such as a .alpha.4.beta.1 or .alpha.4.beta.7 integrin antagonist. Moreover, methods are provided for determining if an agent is useful to treat HIV.
