With new HIV drugs targeting co-receptors entering the market place ... viral strains carrying different maraviroc resistance–conferring mutations within gp120 have been observed both in ...

However, part of the population of Europe, and especially northern Europe, carries a mutation of the CCR5 gene that renders the protein inactive. When that is the case, the HIV virus cannot infect ...

It is also possible that the HIV reservoir is confined to a population ... for transplantation and homozygous for the CCR5 delta32 mutation are very slim. Some will argue that the study advances ...

The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are the two major coreceptors for HIV entry. Numerous efforts have been made to develop a new class of anti-HIV agents that target these coreceptors as an ...

CCR5 is the most commonly used receptor by HIV-1 - the virus strain of HIV that dominates around the world - to enter cells. But a very small number of people who are resistant to HIV have two ...

CCR5 is the most commonly used receptor by HIV-1 - the virus ... from a donor with this specific genetic mutation, which made him resistant to HIV as well. But a reservoir of cells carrying ...
