Dendritic cells (DCs) and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) play important roles in HIV-mediated pathogenesis. Recent studies have defined new DC subsets and shown that DCs in lymphoid mucosa can both harbor virus and stimulate its spread into CD4 + T cells. FDCs harbor unspliced HIV mRNA and immune

The importance of the dendritic cell for the capture of antigens and initiating an immune response is now well recognized. Whereas much is known about their structure and function, their lineage is still not clear. Studies in vitro have demonstrated that the regulated maturation of function that occ
## Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in orchestrating both innate and adaptive components of the immune system and are therefore of pivotal importance in the initiation of immune responses to control and eliminate viral infections. A major focus of this review is to give an overvi
## Abstract Heparan sulfate, a highly sulfated polysaccharide, is present on the surface of mammalian cells and in the extracellular matrix in large quantities. The sulfated monosaccharide sequences within heparan sulfate determine the protein binding specificity and regulate biological functions.
