      A chemokine receptor CCR2 allele delays HIV-1 disease progression and is associated with a CCR5 promoter mutation 

      Deutsch, L.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Huang, Y.; Moore, J. P.; Wolinsky, S. M.; Zhang, L.; Guo, Y.; Phair, J.; Neumann, A. U.; Ho, David D. (1998)
      Viral and host factors influence the rate of HIV-1 disease progression. For HIV-1 to fuse, a CD4+ cell must express a co-receptor that the virus can use. The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are used by R5 and X4 viruses, ...
