The β-Chemokine Receptors CCR3 and CCR5 Facilitate Infection by Primary HIV-1 Isolates

TL;DR: The ability of various members of the chemokine receptor family to support the early stages of HIV-1 infection helps to explain viral tropism and beta-chemokine inhibition of primary HIV- 1 isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD4-induced interaction of primary HIV-1 gp120 glycoproteins with the chemokine receptor CCR-5

TL;DR: It is suggested that HIV-1 attachment to CD4 creates a high-affinity binding site for CCR-5, leading to membrane fusion and virus entry.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR3 and CCR5 are co-receptors for HIV-1 infection of microglia

TL;DR: The CCR3 ligand, eotaxin, and an anti-CCR3 antibody inhibited HIV-1 infection of microglia, as did MIP-1β, which is a CCR5 ligand that promotes efficient infection of the CNS by HIV- 1.
Journal Article

IL-4 induces adherence of human eosinophils and basophils but not neutrophils to endothelium. Association with expression of VCAM-1.

TL;DR: It is proposed that local release of IL-4 in vivo in allergic diseases or after experimental allergen challenge may partly explain the enrichment of eosinophils and basophils (vs neutrophils) observed in these situations.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR5 Levels and Expression Pattern Correlate with Infectability by Macrophage-tropic HIV-1, In Vitro

TL;DR: Anti-CCR5 mAbs were poor inhibitors of chemokine binding, indicating that HIV-1 and ligands bind to separate, but overlapping regions of CCR5, and demonstrate the feasibility of blocking macrophage-tropic HIV- 1 entry into cells with an anti-CCr5 reagent.
