Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Chemokines are small transmembrane proteins with immune surveillance and immune cell recruitment functions. the expression of CCR5 gene affects virus production and viral load(1). The CCR5 gene contains two introns, three exons, and two promoters, and it is necessary as a co-receptor for the entry of the macrophage-tropic HIV strains.
