In 1996 researchers found the mechanism for how chemokines, the messengers of the immune system block HIV: the virus enters cells via chemokine receptors. The chemokines, by binding to their receptors, can bar entry to HIV. Also in 1996, researchers reported the discovery of a genetic mutation in one of these chemokine receptors that slowed the progress of the disease or prevented infection.
