Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from individuals with a homozygous CCR5Δ32 mutation

Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is the primary coreceptor for HIV entry into macrophages. Individuals with a homozygous deletion of 32 bp in the CCR5 gene (CCR5Δ32) are highly resistant to HIV infection (Samson et al., 1996).
