Inducing CCR5Δ32/Δ32 Homozygotes in the Human Jurkat CD4+ Cell Line and Primary CD4+ Cells by CRISPR-Cas9 Genome-Editing Technology

C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is the main co-receptor for HIV entry into the target CD4+ cells, and homozygous CCR5Δ32/Δ32 cells are resistant to CCR5-tropic HIV infection. However, the CCR5Δ32/Δ32 homozygous donors in populations are rare. Here we developed a simple approach to induce CCR5Δ3...
