Abstract excerpt
The human CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a receptor for the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1alpha) and a co-receptor for the entry of specific strains of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). CXCR4 is also recognized by an antagonistic chemokine, the viral macrophage inflammatory protein II (vMIP-II) encoded by human herpesvirus type VIII. SDF-1alpha or vMIP-II binding to CXCR4 can inhibit...
