(*) Reverse transcriptase is used by this retrovirus to insert its genes into the host cell.
SI strains of this virus use the fusion receptor to enter host cells. A 32 base pair deletion in a certain gene immunizes individuals from this disease. That gene codes the receptor CCR5, which is used as an entry point for m-tropic strains of this disease. (*) Reverse transcriptase is used by this retrovirus to insert its genes into the host cell.
