Abstract excerpt
The chemokine receptors and ligand CCR5, CXCR4 and SDF-1 play important roles in the entry of HIV-1 into host cells. Genetic polymorphisms such as CCR5-Δ32 and SDF-1 3'A have been reported to be associated with HIV-1 susceptibility and the progression of AIDS. Considering the remarkable difference in CCR5-Δ32 allele frequency among worldwide populations, we aimed to survey the genetic variations in CCR5, CXCR4...
