Summary: The HIV-1 virus, which causes AIDS, impacts millions of people worldwide. Entry of the virus into target cells is mediated by the interaction of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein with the host receptor CD4, triggering conformational changes that allow fusion with the host cell membrane. Small molecule or peptide drugs that mimic CD4's interaction with the virus have been shown to induce similar structural changes in the virus envelope proteins.

Modulating HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein conformation to decrease the HIV-1 reservoir

Summary: Research has shown that CD4mc can sensitize HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC by facilitating antibody recognition of epitopes on the viral envelope that are otherwise occluded. Combining CD4mc with specific antibodies can reduce viral replication and reservoir size by enhancing ADCC. The dependence on NK cells and Fc effector functions for these effects highlights the importance of ADCC in combating HIV-1.
