Potential Microbicide Tricks HIV Into Sudden Death

Joining the crop of investigational anti-HIV agents that attack the virus before it can enter immune cells, a new potential microbicide element tricks HIV into expelling its DNA before latching onto a human cell, thus prompting a benign death. Publishing their findings in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, researchers at Drexel University engineered a molecule from segments of other molecules in order to create a dual action virolytic entry inhibitor, or DAVEI.
