HEPARIN INHIBITS INFECTIVITY OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS <i>IN VITRO</i>

Abstract

The infectivity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was inhibited by heparin, though de-N-sulfated heparin and heparin pretreated with protamine sulfate were hardly inhibitory. There was a correlation between the anticoagulant activities and anti-HIV activities of heparin-related compounds.
