INHIBITORS OF HIV-1 ENTRY AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The disclosure provides compositions and methods for sensitizing primary HIV-1, including transmitted/founder viruses, to neutralization by monoclonal antibodies, e.g., those directed against CD4-induced (CD4i) epitopes and the V3 region. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to the use of small molecules as microbicides to inhibit HIV-1 infection directly and to sensitize primary HIV-1 to neutralization by readily elicited antibodies.
