Human Immunodeficiency Virus Neurotropism: an Analysis of Viral Replication and Cytopathicity for Divergent Strains in Monocytes and Microglia
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Productive replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in brain macrophages and microglia is a critical component of viral neuropathogenesis. However, how virus-macrophage interactions lead to neurological disease remains incompletely understood. Possibly, a differential ability of virus to replicate in brain tissue macrophages versus macrophages in other tissues underlies HIV-1 neurovirulence. To...
