Abstract

See full text

A method for identifying compounds that inhibit HIV protease is disclosed. A substrate that comprises an HIV protease cleavage site is combined with HIV protease and test compounds. Cleavage of the substrate indicates protease activity and can be detected using antibodies against a cleavage product which do not cross react with uncleaved substrate. A method of detecting the presence of anti-HIV protease antibodies in a sample is also disclosed. A substrate is combined with the sample and HIV protease. Detection of substrate cleavage indicates that the protease is active and that there is an absence of neutralizing anti-HIV protease antibodies.
