摘要: HIV-1 replication can be efficiently inhibited by intracellular expression of an siRNA targeting the viral RNA. We used a well-validated (si510) which targets poly A/TAR (transactivator LTR) site and suppresses replication. Nanotechnology holds much potential for impact in field therapeutics, nanoparticles such as quantum rods (QRs) easily functionalized to incorporate forming stable nanoplexes that gene silencing. evaluated efficacy QR-si510 nanoplex suppressing HIV-1-infected monocytic cell line THP-1 measuring p24 antigen levels LTR. Our results suggest is not only effective delivering siRNA, but also longer time period. nanotherapeutics thus enhance systemic bioavailability offer multifunctionality.
