HIV virus particles interact with several receptors on cell surfaces. Two receptors, CD4 and a
co-receptor act sequentially to trigger fusion of viral and cellular membranes and confer …

Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) require a seven
transmembrane chemokine (7TM) receptor in addition to CD4 for efficient entry into cells …

The viral determinants that underlie human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
neurotropism are unknown, due in part to limited studies on viruses isolated from brain …

Infection of microglia and other cells of the macrophage/monocyte lineage in the central
nervous system (CNS) by human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) underlies the …

Background: Chemokines are involved in the migration of leukocytes and have been
implicated in several inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. Some of their …

An evolving dominance of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype C (HIV-1C) in the
AIDS epidemic has been associated with a high prevalence of HIV-1C infection in the …

We tested chemokine receptor subset usage by diverse, well-characterized primary viruses
isolated from peripheral blood by monitoring viral replication with CCR1, CCR2b, CCR3 …

To better understand the virological aspect of the expanding AIDS epidemic in southern
Africa, a set of 23 near-full-length clones of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) …

Full-length HIV-1 genome sequencing provides important data needed to address several
vaccine design, molecular epidemiologic and pathogenesis questions. A protocol is …

To facilitate the investigation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) sequence variation, we recently
established a method for functional analysis of PCR-amplified full-length HBV genomes …
