Receptors and applications in biology and personalized medicine: CCR5/CXCR4receptors and fusion inhibitors in HIV-1 disease

• At: 2009 FIP Congress in Istanbul (Turkey)
• Type: Presentation
• By: GOFF, Stephen P. (Columbia University, Columbia, United States of America)
• Abstract:

  The HIV-1 envelope protein mediates entry of the virus into the cell through a specific receptor (CD4) and various coreceptors on the cell surface. Virus isolates typically exhibit a selectivity for utilization of either CCR5 (R5 virus), CXCR4 (X4 virus), or both (dual tropic virus). While the initially transmitted isolates are almost always R5
