Abstract  

Engineered targeting fusion protein XE-TNFαm2 was prepared.In which,XE is the second excellular domain of CXCR4,a co-receptor of HIV/SIV;TNFαm2 is a mutation protein of TNFα.Its side effect was reduced 18 fold.It has been used in clinic for cancer therapy.Our previous study indicated that one of XE-TNFαm2 functions is to kill the cells infected by HIV/SIV,but, not to kill the normal cells without HIV/SIV. The purpose in this study is that to explore whether XE-TNFαm2 could lead cell to apoptosis,as its effect mechanism.The result shows that XE-TNFαm2 only can lead the apoptosis of cells infected by SIV,but can not lead this effect on normal cells without HIV/SIV.It indicates that XE-TNFαm2 is an accurate targeting fusion protein to specifically kill cells infected by HIV/SIV,but not be able to kill normal cells without HIV/SIV.It side effect is minimized。
