In addition to CD4, HIV-1 uses chemokine receptors for entry in their target cells. The most important chemokine receptors in this respect are beta-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and alpha-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). Coreceptor usage is an important feature of the biological phenotype of HIV-1 variants. In this chapter, methods are described to determine the co-receptor usage of HIV-1 variants.
除CD4外，HIV-1还利用趋化因子受体进入其靶细胞。在这方面最重要的趋化因子受体是β趋化因子受体5（CCR5）和α趋化因子受体4（CXCR4）。辅助受体的使用是HIV-1变体生物学表型的一个重要特征。在本章中，将描述确定HIV-1变体辅助受体使用情况的方法。
