MINICD4 MICROBICIDE PREVENTS HIV INFECTION OF HUMAN MUCOSAL EXPLANTS AND VAGINAL TRANSMISSION OF SHIV(162P3) IN CYNOMOLGUS MACAQUES.

MiniCD4 microbicide prevents HIV infection of human mucosal explants and vaginal transmission of SHIV(162P3) in cynomolgus macaques.

In complement to an effective vaccine, development of potent anti-HIV microbicides remains an important priority.We have previously shown that the miniCD4 M48U1, a functional mimetic of sCD4 presented on a 27 amino-acid stable scaffold, inhibits a broad range of HIV-1 isolates at sub-nanomolar concentrations in cellular models.Here, we report that

Design Method for a Higher Order Extended Kalman Filter Based on Maximum Correlation Entropy and a Taylor Network System

This paper proposes one new design method for a higher order extended Kalman filter based on combining maximum correlation entropy with a Taylor network system to create a nonlinear random dynamic system with modeling errors and unknown statistical properties.Firstly, the transfer function and measurement function are transformed into a nonlinear r
