PIC 024-4 and PRO 2000 are naphthalene sulfonate polymers that bind to CD4 with nanomolar affinity and block binding of gp120. Both have activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in H9 cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and primary monocyte/macrophages, are synergistic with zidovudine, and do not inhibit tetanus toxoid-stimulated T-cell proliferation at anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 concentrations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
