Anti-HIV-1 gp120 (Clone ANT-151) - 500 μg

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that infects CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells leaving infected individuals susceptible to various opportunistic infections. HIV is a member of the genus Lentivirus, part of the family of Retroviridae. Lentiviruses are transmitted as single-stranded, positive- sense, enveloped RNA viruses. Upon entry into a target cell, viral RNA is converted to double-stranded DNA by a virally encoded reverse transcriptase. Viral DNA is integrated into host cellular DNA by a virally encoded integrase. The virus may become latent or may continue to infect other susceptible cells.
