A laboratory studies two otherwise comparable HIV-1 isolates. Isolate R uses CCR5, whereas isolate X uses CXCR4. Both infect a control cell line expressing CD4 and both chemokine receptors. Investigators then eliminate surface CCR5 without changing CD4, CXCR4, cell viability, or intracellular replication machinery.
