...tropic strain has been linked directly to the onset of full-blown AIDS...
Springer, the Latham Professor of Pathology, and Bleul, a fellow in pathology at the Center for Blood Research, found that the T-tropic strain attacks a different portion of the immune system than does an earlier strain of HIV, called M-tropic strain...
...research located the point at which this increase in mutant T-tropic virus, prior to this point M-tropic, occurs," Landau said...
Matured T cells have been taught to locate invaders which express the receptor for the M-tropic strain. Those that are not able to spot invaders--native T cells--express the receptor for the T-tropic strain...
...Springer and Bleul discovered that there are separate co-receptors for the strains; M-tropic goes through a [different] set of doors than T-tropic. The critical point of the research is that there are two different doors," Landau said...
