## Abstract Monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells play an important role in the initial infection and contribute to its pathogenesis throughout the course of infection. Myeloid cells express CD4 and chemokine receptors known for HIV‐1 fusion and entry. The β‐chemokine receptor, CCR5, is the ma

## Abstract Within the brain, HIV‐1 targets the microglia and astrocytes. Previous studies have reported that viral entry into astrocytes is independent of CD4, in contrast to microglia. We aimed to determine whether chemokine receptors play a role in mediating CD4‐independent HIV‐1 entry into astr
Recently, the LD78 g isoform of the CC chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 § was shown to efficiently chemoattract lymphocytes and monocytes and to inhibit infection of mononuclear cells by R5 HIV-1 strains. We have now demonstrated that after cleavage of the NH 2 -terminal Ala-Pro dip
