HIV needs to bind to both the CD4 molecule and a coreceptor to get inside the cell.
HIV需要同时结合CD4分子和辅助受体,才能进入细胞。

Well during the chronic phase of HIV infection, it's worth pointing out that some patients develop an X4 strain of HIV which targets the CXCR4 coreceptor, which is essentially only T-cells.
At this early point, during what we call acute infection, the R5 strain of HIV, which bind to the CCR5 coreceptor will get into macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells.

These coreceptors are so important that some people with homogeneous genetic mutations in their CCR5 actually have resistance or immunity to HIV, since HIV can't attach and get into the cell.
A co-receptor is a cell surface receptor that binds a signalling molecule in addition to a primary receptor in order to facilitate ligand recognition and initiate biological processes, such as entry of a pathogen into a host cell.
