Activity 

• [Ref.20605950]HIV-1:inhibition of peptide against cell-cell fusion between Jurkat E6-1 and HXBc2 cells(IC50=148±4 nM);inhibition of peptide against virus-cell fusion on CD4-expressing cells(IC50=10±1 nM).

Hemolytic Activity  No hemolysis information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry

Cytotoxicity 

• No cytotoxicity information or data found in the reference(s) presented in this entry
