Evidence of dysregulation of dendritic cells in primary HIV infection.
Myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs) are important mediators of both innate and adaptive immunity against pathogens such as HIV. During the course of HIV infection, blood DC numbers fall substantially. In the present study, we sought to determine how early in HIV infection the reduction occurs and whether the remaining DC subsets maintain functional capacity. We find that both myeloid...
متن کاملA Shot at Dendritic Cell-Based Vaccine Strategy against HIV-1
Introduction: Despite considerable efforts to control AIDS pandemic, it is still one of the significant infectious concerns worldwide. The advance in medical research has led to the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy with a considerable effect to suppress the disease. However, an effective vaccine capable of eradication the HIV pandemic is not available yet. Failure to develop ...
متن کاملDendritic Cells and HIV-1 Trans-Infection
Dendritic cells initiate and sustain immune responses by migrating to sites of pathogenic insult, transporting antigens to lymphoid tissues and signaling immune specific activation of T cells through the formation of the immunological synapse. Dendritic cells can also transfer intact, infectious HIV-1 to CD4 T cells through an analogous structure, the infectious synapse. This replication indepe...
متن کاملLoss and Dysregulation of Th17 Cells during HIV Infection
Bacterial translocation across the damaged mucosal epithelium has emerged as a major paradigm for chronic immune activation observed during HIV infection. T helper 17 (Th17) cells are a unique lineage of T helper cells that are enriched in mucosal tissues and are thought to play a central role in protecting the integrity of the mucosal barrier and maintaining immune homeostasis at mucosal sites...
متن کاملMucosal plasma cell repertoire during HIV-1 infection.
Impaired development of local Ab responses may predispose HIV-1-infected patients to an increased rate, severity, and duration of mucosal infections. We characterized the repertoire of Ig-producing cells in the intestinal effector compartment (the lamina propria) of HIV-1-infected (n = 29) and seronegative control (n = 27) subjects. The density of Ig-producing cells per area was similar in both...
