Host Restriction Factors Modulating HIV Latency and Replication in Macrophages

Abstract excerpt

In addition to CD4+ T lymphocytes, myeloid cells and, particularly, differentiated macrophages are targets of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection via the interaction of gp120Env with CD4 and CCR5 or CXCR4.
