Chemokines and chemokine receptors in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and progression to AIDS

Animesh Chatterjee et al. Dis Markers. 2012.

Abstract

A multitude of host genetic factors plays a crucial role in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and progression to AIDS, which is highly variable among individuals and populations. This review focuses on the chemokine-receptor and chemokine genes, which were extensively studied because of their role as HIV co-receptor or co-receptor competitor and influences the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and progression to AIDS in HIV-1 infected individuals.
