We recently demonstrated that both 3-hydroxyphthalic anhydride (HP)- and maleic anhydride-modified chicken ovalbumin (OVA) could effectively inhibit HIV-1 infection. But because OVA may cause allergy in some human subjects, here we replaced OVA with human serum albumin (HSA) in designing a new anti-HIV-1 agent, HP-HSA, and then tested its anti-HIV-1 activity and cytotoxicity.
