Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To follow the evolution of coreceptor use in HIV-1-infected individuals with varying rates of disease progression. METHODS: The coreceptor use of 278 sequential HIV-1 isolates from 23 individuals was tested by infection of two human cell lines, U87.CD4 and GHOST(3), expressing CD4 and CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3, CCR5, CXCR4, CXCR6 or BOB. Differences in coreceptor use were further dissected by testing chimeric...
