Human defensins 5 and 6 enhance HIV-1 infectivity through promoting HIV attachment
BACKGROUND: Concurrent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) increase the likelihood of HIV transmission. The levels of defensins are frequently elevated in genital fluids from individuals with STIs. We have previously shown that human defensins 5 and 6 (HD5 and HD6) promote HIV entry and contribut...
