Description:
Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) can efficiently bind and transfer HIV infectivity without themselves becoming infected. Using live-cell microscopy, we found that HIV was recruited to sites of cell contact in MDDCs. Analysis of conjugates between MDDCs and T cells revealed that, in the absence of antigen-specific signaling, the HIV receptors CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4 on the T cell were recruited to the interface while the MDDCs concentrated HIV to the same region. We propose that contact between dendritic cells and T cells facilitates transmission of HIV by locally concentrating virus, receptor, and coreceptor during the formation of an infectious synapse.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McDonald, David -- Wu, Li -- Bohks, Stacy M -- KewalRamani, Vineet N -- Unutmaz, Derya -- Hope, Thomas J -- R01 AI052051/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01-AI47770/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01-AI49131/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01-AI52051/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 May 23;300(5623):1295-7.
