The effect of the CCR5-delta32 deletion on global gene expression considering immune response and inflammation
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The natural function of the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is poorly understood. A 32 base pair deletion in the CCR5 gene (CCR5-delta32) located on chromosome 3 results in a non-functional protein. It is supposed that this deletion causes an alteration in T-cell response to inflammation. For example, the presence of the CCR5-delta32 allele in recipients of allografts constitutes as an...
