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
During sexual transmission, HIV infects the mucosal dendritic cells and is transferred to CD4 T cells. Whether HIV variants of a particular genetic (sub)type or phenotype selectively infect dendritic cells (DC) or are preferentially transferred to T cells remains highly controversial. To avoid the c
## Abstract Dendritic cells hold promise as adjuvant for immunotherapy for cancer and infectious diseases. We demonstrate that a significant number of cryopreserved peripheral blood CD34^+^ cells from HIVβinfected subjects can be transduced with a replicationβincompetent lentiviral vector expressin
