Peptide Inhibitors for Viral Infections and as Anti-inflammatory Agents

Abstract: IFN-gamma and IL-10 are cytokine signaling molecules that play fundamental roles in inflammation, cancer growth and autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, there are no specific inhibitors of IFN-gamma or IL-10 on the market to date. NCI investigators at the Cancer and Inflammation Program have synthesized short peptides that selectively interfere...

Multiple Antigenic Peptide Assays for Detection of HIV and SIV Type Retroviruses

CDC scientists have developed multiple antigenic peptide immunoassays for the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). HIV can be subdivided into two major types, HIV-1 and HIV-2, both of which are believed to have originated as result of zoonotic transmission. Humans are increasingly exposed to...
