| Abstract | Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virions contain heat shock proteins (HSP), but these proteins have received limited attention. The objectives of this study were to establish if the microbial 70-kDa HSP exerts an inhibitory effect on the HIV-1 infection of human CD4+ T cells, to identify an inhibitory peptide epitope within the sequence of HSP70, and to evaluate the kinetic features of any inhibitory activity. The results of these studies suggest that microbial HSP70 exerts dose-dependent inhibition on CCR5 (R5) strains of clades B, C, and D of HIV-1 infecting human CD4+ T cells. The site of the HIV-1-inhibitory function was identified within the C-terminal peptide binding domain of HSP70, and the function is expressed by the peptide epitope comprising amino acids 407 to 426. The mechanism of inhibition of HIV-1 infectivity by HSP70 is blocking of the CCR5 coreceptors directly and indirectly by inducing CC chemokines and APOBEC3G. The inhibitory effect of HSP70, its C-terminal fragment, or peptide 407-426 may make HSP70 useful as a microbicidal agent. A potentiating noncognate inhibition of HIV-1 infectivity by combined treatment with HSP70 and monoclonal or polyclonal antibody to CCR5 was demonstrated. This novel strategy may be utilized in therapeutic immunization against HIV-1 infection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
