a: CD4 receptor ~
b: an anchor on the cell

What:

"Hovanessian says that CD4 receptor is like an anchor on the cell, to which HIV attaches, while CD26 is the door through which it enters. CD26 reacts with a part of the virus's protein coat called the V3 loop. Hovanessian says that this sequence is like the key which opens the CD26 door."
