Investigation of griffithsin's interactions with human cells confirms its outstanding safety and efficacy profile as a microbicide candidate.

Investigation of griffithsin's interactions with human cells confirms its outstanding safety and efficacy profile as a microbicide candidate.

Many natural product-derived lectins such as the red algal lectin griffithsin (GRFT) have potent in vitro activity against viruses that display dense clusters of oligomannose N-linked glycans (NLG) on their surface envelope glycoproteins.
