From: Cellulose acetate phthalate, a common pharmaceutical excipient, inactivates HIV-1 and blocks the coreceptor binding site on the virus envelope glycoprotein gp120

Figure 4

Binding of CAP treated and untreated HIV-1 IIIB to wells coated with antibodies to peptides from gp120/gp41 [reference 16]. Experimental conditions were similar to those described in the legend for Fig. 3. The absorbance corresponding to untreated HIV-1 captured onto the wells was in the range of 0.09 to 0.37. The absorbance corresponding to controls (virus captured onto wells coated with Protein A followed by normal rabbit serum) was 0.014. Numbering of gp160 amino acid residues was the same as in reference 16. Decreases of CAP treated virus binding, as compared with binding of control virus, were plotted.
