Expression of CCR5 Increases during Monocyte Differentiation and Directly Mediates Macrophage Susceptibility to Infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
The stage of differentiation and the lineage of CD4+ cells profoundly affect their susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). While CD4(+) T lymphocytes in patients are readily susceptible to HIV-1 infection, peripheral blood monocytes are relatively resistant during acute or early infection, even though monocytes also express CD4 and viral strains with macrophage (M)-tropic...
