Human immunodeficiency virus-1 acquisition in genital mucosa: Langerhans cells as key-players.

Journal of internal medicine - 1 Jan 2009

de Jong M A W P, Geijtenbeek T B H

Abstract excerpt

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection occurs primarily via genital mucosal tissues and the cellular mechanisms that affect HIV-1 acquisition are largely unclear. Langerhans cells (LCs) are professional antigen presenting cells lining the mucosal stratified squamous epithelium. It is becoming evident that LCs have different functions in HIV-1 transmission. HIV-1 can infect mucosal LCs, which...
