โœฆ Synopsis


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 complexed virus, but not actively infectious virus, yet these cells are a key regulated reservoir of virions.

## 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
