Roles of Dendritic Cell in Disease Progression of AIDS Primate Models
Xia, Hou-Jun; Zhang, Gao-Hong & Zheng, Yong-Tang
Abstract
Non-human primate models are widely used in research of AIDS mechanism, transmission, vaccine and
drugs. Dendritic cells (DC), as antigen presenting cells linking the innate immunity and acquired immunity, play a pivotal
role in AIDS progression. Studies on the change of DC subsets number, phenotype and function in AIDS non-human
primate models are important for revealing some mechanism of AIDS progression. This article reviews the progress in
DC subsets of non-human primate AIDS models, which will provide an avenue for further study in AIDS.
