Lymphoid-Related CD11c + CD8α + Dendritic Cells Are Involved in Enhancing Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Latency
30 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism(s) by which herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) latency is established in neurons is not known. In this study, we examined the effect of dendritic cells (DCs) on the level of HSV-1 latency in trigeminal ganglia (TGs) of ocularly infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. We found that immunization of wild-type mice with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) DNA, which increases the number of DCs,...
