[edit] Merge with HIV structure and genome?

Is there enough information about this protein to give it an entire article? If not, I may merge this into HIV structure and genome. The Rod 05:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Competition

I'm not thrilled with the new Competition section. I've adjusted it to a position which does not encourage HIV+ people to take that research as medical advice. I'd be in favor of killing it entirely, or of expanding it to include other examples of this idea.

For the supporters, I think you should carefully consider the known immunosuppressive effects of priliximab before pushing an untested CD4-based treatment. There's no reason at this time to think that anti-CD4 abs are destructive when bound to CD4, but that anti-ECGC abs, bound to ECGC, bound to CD4, are somehow going to be perfectly safe (or non-existent).
