I think you are referring to the recent findings about the chemokine
receptor CC-CKR5 as a cofactor for HIV entry and the finding of elevated
resistance to infection in individuals carrying a homozygous mutation
(deletion) in the CC-CKR 5 gene. I do not have now the references at hand,
however there were two Nature papers and a Cell paper recently. Try a
Medline cross-search with chemokine/CC-CKR5/HIV as subjects and Paxton as
author.
Can always have a look and e-mail to you the ref. later on.
Hi, Giovanni.
