Abstract excerpt
In recent studies, a 32-bp deletion in the coding region of the chemokine receptor gene CCP5 was reported, which completely blocked penetration of the HIV-I virus into lymphocytes and macrophages. We developed a simple and rapid method for determining this deletion. The use of this method can greatly accelerate the evaluation of the frequency of the deletion allele CCP5 delta 32 in various populations and the...
