Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants that use the coreceptor CCR5 for entry (R5; macrophage tropic) predominate in early infection, while variants that use CXCR4 emerge during disease progression. Some late-stage variants use CXCR4 alone (X4; T-cell tropic), while others use both CXCR4 and CCR5 (R5X4; dualtropic). It has been proposed that dualtropic R5X4 strains are intermediates in the evolution...
