Association of viruses with antigen-presenting cells: implications for the outcome of infection.
When a virus enters a host, there is resistance to infection in the form of innate and specific immunity. Central to generating the immune responses are the antigen-presenting cells found within the main body compartments. The varied interactions between viruses and antigen-presenting cells may be crucial in the control of infection or the production of disease.
