Abstract excerpt
Activating cells of the immune system may stimulate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication and contribute to select pathogenic variants in vivo. Here, we examined the possible effect of a major pathway of immune activation, CD40 interaction with its ligand (CD40L), on the susceptibility of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to various HIV-1 strains. Stimulation of MDMs with CD40L led to reduced...
