Abstract excerpt
Vitamin-D-receptor (VDR) mediates immunomodulatory effects of vitamin-D₃ (VD₃). The VDR-rs1544410_GG polymorphism has been associated with delayed progression rates to AIDS and resistance to HIV-1 infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate differences in VD₃ mediated effects on rs1544410 genotyped dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MDM), key cells involved in HIV-1 infection. Immature DCs...
