Abstract:
The interaction between the Rev protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and its highly structured and conserved RNA target, the Rev-responsive element, is required for virus replication. We demonstrate that antisense oligodeoxynucleotide phosphorothioate analogs directed against the Rev-responsive element effectively inhibit Rev activity, as well as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication, and are candidates for antiviral therapy.
