preparation example Construction
[0136] Also provided is a preparation method of a composition for treating and / or preventing HIV, said method comprising:
[0137] -Provide an appropriate amount of one or more oligosaccharides;
[0138] -Provide an appropriate amount of cysteine and / or a source of cysteine
[0139] - Formulation of the above two components into a suitable food or food supplement or pharmaceutical composition.
[0140] The following examples illustrate the invention. The practice of the present invention employs, unless otherwise indicated, standard conventional methods of molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology, virology, microbiology or biochemistry. These techniques are described in Sambrook and Russell (2001) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Third Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY, Volumes 1 and 2 of Ausubel et al. (1994) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Current Protocols, USA and Remington 's Pharmaceutical Science, Mack Publishing Company, Philadelph...

[0142] Example 1. Blocking of DC-SIGN-Fc binding by acid oligosaccharides and GOS
[0143] Blocking DC-SIGN is known to prevent virus translocation from dendritic cells onto CD4 T cells. The inventors have surprisingly found that oligosaccharides are able to block DC-SIGN with varying potency. As shown in Table 1, acid oligosaccharides (AOS) pectin hydrolysates were the most effective. These results show that AOS prevents binding of the Fc fragment to DC-SIGN at minimal concentrations.
