Target Validation Information
Target ID T65414
Target Name mRNA of HIV-1 envelope protein
Target Type
Successful
Action against Disease Model VRX496 VRX496 directly interferes with wild-type HIV (wt-HIV) expression via anti-env antisense expression in vector transduced CD4 cells that become infected with wt-HIV. Expression of the anti-HIV antisense env from a HIV vector transcript would target wt-HIV RNA and destroy it, and hence, decrease productive HIV replication from CD4 T cells. [552277] Drug Info
