摘要 |
The present invention relates to therapeutic compositions of macrophage derived chemokine (MDC) and methods for treating and preventing infection by a lentivirus, particularly an immunodeficiency virus, particularly HIV, using MDC proteins, nucleic acids and/or derivatives or analogues thereof. The present invention further relates to methods for detection and prognosis of lentivirus infection, particularly HIV infection using MDC as a prognostic indicator. The present invention further provides MDC proteins, nucleic acids encoding such proteins, that have amino-terminal sequences that differ from other MDC isolates. Recombinant host cells and methods of production are also provided.
