GENE THERAPY OF HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS BY THE EXPRESSION OF MEMBRANE-ANCHORED GP41 PEPTIDES

摘要

The invention relates to the genetically engineered treatment of an HIV infection by the expression of membrane-anchored gp41 peptides. With this treatment vectors are made available for the first time which code for a fusion protein that contains a peptide derived from gp41 of HIV and a carboxy terminal by means of a trans-membrane anchor tagged to a flexible linker.
