Dendritic cells play the most vital part in inducing anti-viral immune responses in HIV and AIDS among many other viruses. It is the only comprehensive volume on pathogenesis and immunity of Dendritic Cells that also focuses on HIV.
Dendritic cells play the most vital part in inducing anti-viral immune responses in HIV and AIDS among many other viruses. Research on dendritic cells (DCs) is emerging as a fundamental aspect for the comprehension of the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of viral diseases. This volume focuses on the role of DCs in the pathogenesis and immunity of HIV-1 infection. It is the only comprehensive volume on pathogenesis and immunity of Dendritic Cells that also focuses on HIV.
