Full Length Single Chain Fc Protein (FLSC IgG1) as a Potent Antiviral Therapy Candidate: Implications for In Vivo Studies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We have previously shown that FLSC, a chimeric protein containing HIV-1BAL gp120 and the D1 and D2 domains of human CD4, blocks the binding and entry of HIV-1 into target cells by occluding CCR5, the major HIV-1 coreceptor. In an effort to improve the antiviral potential of FLSC, we fused it with the hinge-CH2-CH3 region of human IgG1. The IgG moiety should increase both the affinity and stability in vivo of FLSC, due to the resultant bivalency and an extended serum half-life, thereby increasing its antiviral potency. We previously showed that (FLSC) IgG1 indeed had greater antiviral activity against T cell infections. Here we extend these results to macrophages, for which (FLSC) IgG1 has a more potent antiviral activity than FLSC alone, due in part to its higher binding affinity for CCR5. We also test both compounds in a relevant humanized mouse model and show that, as anticipated, the IgG1 moiety confers a greatly extended half-life. These data, taken together with previous results, suggest potential clinical utility for (FLSC) IgG1 and support further developmental work toward eventual clinical trials.
