International Classification:

A61K 3802

US Classification:

214 2

Abstract:

A new protein, termed TAP 29, obtainable from the root tuber of the plant Trichosanthes kirilowii or produced by recombinant means is useful for treating HIV infections or tumors. In treating HIV infections, the protein is administered alone or in conjunction with conventional AIDS therapies. Also provided are processes for purifying the protein, DNA sequences encoding the protein, hosts expressing the protein, recombinant DNA methods for expressing the protein, and antibodies specific for the protein.

US Classification:

514 8

Abstract:

New proteins, termed GAP 31, obtainable from the seeds of Gelonium multiflorum, and DAP 30 and DAP 32, obtainable from the leaves or seeds of Dianthus caryophyllus, or the above proteins produced by recombinant means, are useful for treating HIV infections. In treating HIV infections, the protein is administered alone or in conjunction with other anti-HIV therapeutics. Also provided are processes for purifying the proteins, DNA sequences encoding the proteins, hosts expressing the proteins, recombinant DNA methods for expressing the proteins, and antibodies specific for the proteins.
