CD4-specific designed ankyrin repeat proteins are novel potent HIV entry inhibitors with unique characteristics.
Here, we describe the generation of a novel type of HIV entry inhibitor using the recently developed Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein (DARPin) technology. DARPin proteins specific for human CD4 were selected from a DARPin DNA library using ribosome display. Selected pool members interacted specifical...
