Abstract

Specific chemokine receptors have recently been identified as the elusive“coreceptors” mediating HIV entry and tropism for different target cells (reviewed in1). Beyond the obvious implications for understanding the entry mechanism, these discoveries have dramatically influenced perspectives on the broader issues of HIV transmission, pathogenesis, and therapy. This chapter summarizes the discovery of the coreceptors, the expansion of the coreceptor repertoire, and the ways in which these findings have illuminated our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying HIV fusion and tropism.
