趋化因子复合受体与HIV-1感染关系密切。此文简要回顾了HIV-1复合受体以及它们在病毒膜融合和HIV-1发病机制中的作用,以期为将来研究趋化因子复合受体抗HIV-1感染提供理论依据。
The chemokine co-receptor has close relations to HIV- 1 infection. Binding to CD4 typically is followed by binding to either the CCR5 or CXCR4 co-receptor, which is required for fusion to proceed. The development of chemokine co-receptor may provide new tools to address this important pathogenesis question about HIV-1 infection.
