Abstract
A process for obtaining cellular protein having potent anti-HIV activity comprises culturing CD4-positive T cells or myeloid cells in a tissue culture medium under conditions in which the cells are induced to produce and secrete a protein having anti-HIV activity, separating the cells from the culture medium containing the protein and then recovering the protein from the medium, wherein the molecular weight of the protein having anti-HIV activity, as measured by gel filtration analysis, is within the range of about 7,000 to about 12,000 daltons.
