Follicular dendritic cells and their role in HIV infection.
Recently, much attention has focussed on the role of follicular dendritic cells as a reservoir of infectious particles in retroviral, particularly HIV, infection. In this report from a recent meeting, Johannes Gerdes and Hans-Dieter Flad describe these studies in the context of a growing awareness of the morphological, phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of the cells.
