We examined the effect on anti-HIV proteins MAP30 and GAP31, from Momordica charantia and Gelonium multiflorum, on the infection and replication of Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV). Human lung WI-38 fibroblasts cultured in the presence of tenfold dilutions of MAP30 or GAP31 were exposed to HSV and viral
HEp-2 cells were infected with herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) or with polio-virus I in the presence of plant proteins which inactivate ribosomes in cell-free systems, while exerting scarce effect on whole cells. Ribosome-inactivating proteins used were gelonin, from seeds of Gelonium multiflorum, an
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of two virucidal compounds, MAP30 (Momordica anti-human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] protein; molecular weight, 30 kd) and GAP31 (Gelonium anti-HIV protein; molecular weight, 31 kd), obtained from Momordica charantia and Gelonium multiflorum, respectively, on the
