Methods for the inhibition of epstein-barr virus transmission employing anti-viral peptides capable of abrogating viral fusion and transmission

Fusion of the viral envelope, or infected cell membranes with uninfected cell membranes, is an essential step in the viral life cycle. Recent studies involving the human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1) demonstrated that synthetic peptides (designated DP-107 and DP-178) derived from potential helical regions of the transmembrane (TM) protein, gp41, were potent inhibitors of viral fusion and infection. A computerized antiviral searching technology (C.A.S.T.) that detects related structural motifs (e.g., ALLMOTI 5, 107x178x4, and PLZIP) in other viral proteins was employed to identify similar regions in the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Several conserved heptad repeat domains that are predicted to form coiled-coil structures with antiviral activity were identified in the EBV genome. Synthetic peptides of 16 to 39 amino acids derived from these regions were prepared and their antiviral activities assessed in a suitable in vitro screening assay. These peptides proved to be potent inhibitors of EBV fusion. Based upon their structural and functional equivalence to the known HIV-1 inhibitors DP-107 and DP-178, these peptides should provide a novel approach to the development of targeted therapies for the treatment of EBV infections.

Fusion protein construct and method for inducing HIV-specific serum IgG and secretory IgA antibodies in-vivo

The present invention provides a fusion protein construct (gp41HA) consisting of the ectodomain of the HIV-1IIIB envelope glycoprotein gp41 fused to a fragment of the influenza virus HA2 hemagglutinin protein. Immunization in-vivo via an intraperitoneal prime followed by intranasal or intragastric boosts with gp41HA induces high concentrations of serum IgG antibodies and fecal IgA antibodies that reacted with gp41 in HIV-1IIIB viral lysate and are cross-reactive with gp41 in HIV-1MN lysate. Followup analyses by indirect immunofluorescence showed that both serum IgG and fecal IgA recognized human peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with either syncytium-inducing (SI) or non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) North American HIV-1 field isolates, but not uninfected cells.

Methods and compositions for the synergistic activation of latent HIV

The present invention provides methods and compositions useful for the elimination of latent HIV reservoirs that persist despite HAART. The methods and compositions overcome this latent barrier by inducing the replication of HIV in latently infected T cells while preventing the spread of the newly produced virions to uninfected cells by providing HAART simultaneously. Compositions of the invention comprise an activator of latent HIV expression, such as prostratin, and an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, such as TSA. A surprising finding of this invention is that the inhibitor of the histone deacetylase synergizes the effect of prostratin thus, allowing administering to a patient a lower, non-toxic dose of prostratin.

Treatment of viral infections by modulation of host cell metabolic pathways

InactiveUS20090239830A1Reduction and amelioration of severityShorten the construction periodBiocideDigestive systemCritical control pointAntiviral drug
Alterations of certain metabolite concentrations and fluxes that occur in response to viral infection are described. Host cell enzymes in the involved metabolic pathways are selected as targets for intervention; i.e., to restore metabolic flux to disadvantage viral replication, or to further derange metabolic flux resulting in “suicide” of viral-infected cells (but not uninfected cells) in order to limit viral propagation. While any of the enzymes in the relevant metabolic pathway can be selected, pivotal enzymes at key control points in these metabolic pathways are preferred as candidate antiviral drug targets. Inhibitors of these enzymes are used to reverse, or redirect, the effects of the viral infection. Drug candidates are tested for antiviral activity using screening assays in vitro and host cells, as well as in animal models. Animal models are then used to test efficacy of candidate compounds in preventing and treating viral infections. The antiviral activity of enzyme inhibitors is demonstrated.

Method for Screening of Agents for the Prevention of Hepatitis C Virus Infection with Cell Culture Tool

The invention relates to an improved method of screening of anti-HCV agents that may have an efficacy for prevention of hepatitis C virus. The method involves the isolation and cryopreservation of HCV-infected hepatocytes from multiple infected individuals. The isolated and cryopreserved hepatocytes are stored in a cryopreservation bank made up of HCV-infected hepatocytes representing the different genotypes of HCV. These stored hepatocytes then are co-cultured in a culture medium with uninfected hepatocytes, and anti-HCV screening of the hepatocytes is done by subjecting HCV infected hepatocytes and uninfected hepatocytes in parallel to the actions of different anti-HCV compounds at various concentrations. An effective anti-HCV agent will lead to prevention of increase in concentration of HCV content of uninfected cells in the co-culture.

Preparation method of artificial antibody

The invention relates to a preparation method of an artificial antibody, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: screening a target siRNA from a coronavirus conserved gene or a microsatellite, synthesizing a small hairpin shRNA with a loop ring from two complementary positive and negative siRNA chains, synthesizing ACE2 taking a receptor binding domain RBD as a ligand, respectively connecting the ACE2 to the positive and negative chains of the shRNA, synthesizing the artificial antibody formed by a shRNA region and an ACE2 region, and carrying out screening to obtain the artificial antibody. Wherein the bivalent ACE2 has the effects of neutralizing RBD and targeted delivery of shRNA, the shRNA is connected with a virus through the ACE2 and enters a target cell along with the infection of the virus, so that the side effect of non-specific delivery of the shRNA to an uninfected cell can be avoided, and the effects of anti-variant strains and neutralizing the virus by the ACE2 can be generated; in addition, an artificial antibody synthesized by two molecules of ACE2 and one molecule of shRNA and an immunologic adjuvant effect of shRNA enable ACE2 to have stronger antigenicity, and anti-ACE2 generated by stimulating an organism also has an antiviral effect.
