title: Inhibition of HIV-1 replication and syncytium formation by synthetic CD4 peptides.
abstract: Only one peptide of CD4 (amino acid residues 70-132) among 16 synthetic peptide fragments selectively inhibited HIV-1 replication and HIV-1-induced syncytium formation. Several smaller peptides within this region did not show any activity, except for the peptide (86-132) which showed somewhat lower activity.
