An antiviral protein found in a blue-green algae species appears to work as an anti-HIV microbicide. The protein inactivates HIV, prevents viral entry into cells, and does not appear to be toxic, according to Dr. Michael
Boyd of the National Cancer Institute.
Boyd's research team produced CV-N in a recombinant form with Escherichia coli, and found that when the protein is fixed to a solid matrix, HIV becomes immobilized.
