Abstract excerpt
The chemokine receptors CCR8 and CX3CR1 are key players in adaptive immunity and are co-receptors for human immunodeficiency virus. We describe here the genomic organization and evolutionary history of both of these genes. CX3CR1 has three promoters that transcribe three separate exons that are spliced with a fourth exon containing the coding region. CCR8 has two promoters. One promoter produces a transcript of...
