SO Chung Kuo I Hsueh Ko Hsueh Yuan Hsueh Pao. 1995 Aug;17(4):248-52. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/96147920 AB We here replaced the cell-binding domain in Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) with HIV-binding portion of CD4V1V2 molecule and constructed a chimeric gene CD4V1V2-PE40, which can be expressed in E. coli. The hybrid protein displays targeting toxicity toward cells infected by HIV and thus represents a promising novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of AIDS.
