Characterization of the elaborate interplay between HIV-1 and dendritic cells
EF 2008-09
Résumé
It is generally thought that dendritic cells are playing a pivotal role in HIV-1 transmission as they serve as the first potential targets for virus infection. The central objective of our work is to illuminate the intricate relationships between HIV-1 and dendritic cells. An improved understanding of the elaborate relationships between HIV-1 and dendritic cells is needed because it can result in the development of more appropriate and efficient preventive/therapeutic measures directed at a better control of HIV-1.
