Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel assays which allow the identification of compounds which block the ability of lentiviruses to infect non-dividing cells. Compounds discovered employing the invention methods can be employed to block the ability of HIV to infect non-dividing cells. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, novel antibodies have been developed which are specifically immunoreactive with the phosphorylated form of HIV-1 MA. In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, novel kinases which phosphorylate HIV-1 MA have been discovered.
