monocytes, dendritic cells and HIV
I understand immune cells like monocytes and dendritic cells may either get infected or may neutralize/"kill" an HIV virion. What decides which of the two shall transpire? Mark Holodniy, M.D., F.A.C.P., C.I.C. monocytes, dendritic cells and HIV Probably the number of supportive immune cells...crap
