Anti-HIV-1 activity of anionic polymers: a comparative study of candidate microbicides
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) in soluble form blocks coreceptor binding sites on the virus envelope glycoprotein gp120 and elicits gp41 six-helix bundle formation, processes involved in virus inactivation. CAP is not soluble at p...
