PEGylation of cyanovirin–N, an entry inhibitor of HIV
Abstract
Cyanovirin-N (CV-N) is a potent inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus and many other viruses. It has a high potential for use as a systemic compound to control viral load or in the development of microbicides to prevent primary viral infection. Due to its cyanobacterial origin it is likely to show the typical drawbacks associated with pharmaceutical use of foreign proteins such as short plasma half-life, proteolysis and immunogenicity. Several strategies were used to covalently bond poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylate) to CV-N. Random PEGylation at lysine residues resulted in poor retention of antiviral activity. Many site-directed mutants were made to test site-specific PEGylation. One mutant, where glutamine 62 was replaced with cysteine (CV-N(Q62C)) and PEGylated with maleimide activated PEG, retained significant anti-HIV activity in vitro.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
