Re: The Gorillas are killing us! *LINK*

In related news: Someone familiar with the Duffy antigen and its mirror protein, Interleukin 8, could conceivably engineer an Ape immune defficiency virus for target removal of an unwanted and inconveniently located group of humans...?

"A connection has been found between HIV susceptibility and the expression of the Duffy antigen. The absence of the DARC receptor appears to increase the susceptibility to infection by HIV. However once established, the absence of the DARC receptor appears to slow down the progression of the disease. HIV-1 appears to be able to attach to erythrocytes via DARC.
The association between the Duffy antigen and HIV infection appears to be complex. Leukopenia (a low total white cell count) is associated with relatively poor survival in HIV infection and this association is more marked in caucasians than in negroids despite the (on average) lower white cell counts found in black Africans. This difference appears to correlate with a particular genotype (-46C/C) associated with the absence of the Duffy antigen. This genotype has only been found in black Africans and their descendants. The strength of this association increases inversely with the total white cell count. The basis for this association is probably related to the role of the Duffy antigen in cytokine binding but this has yet to be verified." Wikipedia
