gp120 Induces Cell Death in Human Neuroblastoma Cells Through the CXCR4 and CCR5 Chemokine Receptors
6 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
To infect target cells, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type I (HIV-1) must engage not only the well-known CD4 molecule, but it also requires one of several recently described coreceptors. In particular, the CXCR4 (LESTR/fusin) receptor allows fusion and entry of T-tropic strains of HIV, whereas CCR5 is the major coreceptor used by primary HIV-1 strains that infect macrophages and CD4(+) T-helper cells...
