Soluble Globotriaosylceramide as a Potential Systemic and Local Inhibitor of HIV Infection

Previously we have identified the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3/Pk) as an inhibitor and resistance factor against HIV-1 infection in vitro. Here we show that a novel, soluble, completely synthetic Gb3 analogue, FSLGb3, inhibits infection of X4 strains of HIV-1 in the Jurkat T-cell li...
