HIV and Membrane Receptors

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the properties of newly discovered coreceptors, lessons from previous studies of receptors and entry inhibitors, and considers the ways in which this information could most effectively be used when designing new therapies and vaccines. Because the book also includes recent background information on HIV and emphasizes the similarity and differences between other virus-cell systems, it will be useful not only to researchers but for graduate and undergraduate students, and anyone interested in viruses or the treatment and prevention of AIDS.
