Book desription: Marcel Dekker, 2002. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Explains the functions of chemokines, chemokine receptors and human genetic variability, and how they may lead to new therapeutic options for treating HIV-1 infection. Some chemokine receptors act as HIV-1 coreceptors, which allow the virus to enter lymphocytes, macrophages, and other target cells in consort with the CD4 protein. In addition to therapies that may inhibit chemokine receptor expression, the 12 contributions in this volume explore the role of human genetics in HIV-1 infection, the limitations of current therapies, and a mutant version of the CCR5 gene that has a 32 base-pair deletion.
