Two receptors, CD4 and a co-receptor act sequentially to trigger fusion of viral and cellular membranes and confer virus entry into cells. For HIV-1, the chemokine receptor CCR5 is the predominant co-receptor exploited for transmission and replication in vivo.
HIV actually attaches to the CD4+ protein on the surface of these and other cells to gain entry. CD4+ can be likened to a doorway that HIV uses to enter the inner compartments of the cell. However, experiments in test tubes suggest that the CD4+ protein alone is not enough to allow viral entry into cells.
