| Bioactivity | Peptide T is an octapeptide from the V2 region of HIV-1 gp120. Peptide T is a ligand for the CD4 receptor and prevents binding of HIV to the CD4 receptor. | ||||||
| Invitro | Peptide T acts to block viral entry as it inhibits in the MAGI cell assay and blocks infection in the luciferase reporter assay using HIV virions pseudotyped with ADA envelope. Peptide T selectively inhibits HIV replication using chemokine receptor CCR5 compared to CXC4[2]. Peptide T at 10-8 M induces IL-10 production by the human Th2 cell line and PBMC. Also peptide T at 10-9 M concentration significantly inhibits IFN-g production by PBMC[3]. | ||||||
