Glycans are involved in RANTES binding to CCR5 positive as well as to CCR5 negative cells

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2001
We show that cell surface glycans, sialic acid and mannose-containing species, are involved beside glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate in the binding of full length (1--68) RANTES not only to CCR5 positive human primary lymphocytes or macrophages but also to CCR5 negative monocytic U937 cells.

Identifying CCR5 coreceptor populations permissive for HIV-1 entry and productive infection: implications for in vivo studies

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2022
Background The chemokine receptor CCR5 is the major coreceptor for HIV-1 cell entry. We previously observed that not all CCR5 mAbs reduce HIV-1 infection, suggesting that only some CCR5 populations are permissive for HIV-1 entry.

Anti-HIV-1 activity of cellulose acetate phthalate: Synergy with soluble CD4 and induction of "dead-end" gp41 six-helix bundles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
BACKGROUND: Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a promising candidate microbicide for prevention of sexual transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens, was shown to inactivate HIV ...

Binding of fusion protein FLSC IgG1 to CCR5 is enhanced by CCR5 antagonist Maraviroc [PDF]

open access: yesAntiviral Research, 2014
The CCR5 chemokine receptor is crucial for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, acting as the principal coreceptor for HIV-1 entry and transmission and is thus an attractive target for antiviral therapy. Studies have suggested that CCR5 surface density and its conformational changes subsequent to virion engagement are rate limiting ...

CCR5 blockade inflames antitumor immunity in BAP1-mutant clear cell renal cell carcinoma

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2020
Background Patients with BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1)-mutant clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have worse prognosis. C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) plays an important role in ccRCC development and its expression is elevated in BAP1-mutant ...

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

The Case for Selection at CCR5-Δ32

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2005
The C-C chemokine receptor 5, 32 base-pair deletion (CCR5-Δ32) allele confers strong resistance to infection by the AIDS virus HIV. Previous studies have suggested that CCR5-Δ32 arose within the past 1,000 y and rose to its present high frequency (5%–14%) in Europe as a result of strong positive selection, perhaps by such selective agents as the ...
