  • Role of PI3K P110 Delta Signaling in Retroviral Infection and Replication
    Publication number: 20130116267
    Abstract: The invention includes compositions and methods for regulating PI3K p110 delta as an anti-retroviral therapy. The invention includes a method of inhibiting p110 delta, a component of PI3K p110 delta signaling pathway, or any combination thereof in a cell as an anti-retroviral therapeutic approach for treating a retroviral infection, for example HTV. The invention includes a method of modulating PI3K p110 delta in a cell infected with a retrovirus by contacting the cell with an effective amount of a composition comprising an inhibitor of PI3K P110 delta.
