Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) entry process is triggered by interaction between the viral envelope and a seven membrane-spanning domain receptor at the cell surface, usually the CCR5 chemokine receptor. Different naturally occurring mutations in the CCR5 gene abolish receptor function, the most frequent being a 32-nucleotide deletion resulting in a truncated protein (Delta32) lacking the last...
