Multiple roles of CCR5 in infectious diseases

Three free access papers from the online first section of the Journal of Infectious Diseases. The articles highlight the role of CCR5 - better known as a co-receptor for HIV entry into cells - in T cell trafficking to sites of infection and suggest that studies are needed to evaluate the effects of pharmacological inhibition of CCR5 in these settings.
