Abstract
The present invention relates to viral inhibition, particularly HIV inhibition, by DNA sequences including multiple target response elements. The DNA construct of the present invention comprises a vector and a promoter operably linked to at least one target response element and, optionally, to other viral inhibitory elements, so that the elements are transcribed in tandem. The DNA construct can be used in the treatment of viral infections, HIV in particular, by obtaining cells from an HIV-infected patient, transforming the cells with the construct and administering the transformed cells to the patient. The protective gene product will only be expressed if the cell becomes infected and a viral protein is made.
