Mucus and Mucins: do they have a role in the inhibition of the human immunodeficiency virus?

Author: Mall, Anwar S ; Habte, Habtom ; Mthembu, Yolanda ; Peacocke, Julia ; de Beer, Corena Date: 06 Oct 2017 Background: Mucins are large O-linked glycosylated proteins which give mucus their gel-forming properties. There are indications that mucus and mucins in saliva, breast milk and in the cervical plug inhibit the human immunodeficiency virus ... Read more c b
The role of crude human saliva and purified salivary MUC5B and MUC7 mucins in the inhibition of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 in an inhibition assay

Author: Habte, Habtom H ; Mall, Anwar S ; de Beer, Corena ; Lotz E, Zoe ; Kahn, Delawir Date: 2006 BACKGROUND: Despite the continuous shedding of HIV infected blood into the oral cavity and the detectable presence of the AIDS virus at a high frequency, human saliva is reported to inhibit oral transmission of HIV through kissing, dental ...
