Epidermal langerhans cells—A target for HTLV-III/LAV infection
Erwin Tschachler,Veronika Groh,Mikulas Popovic,Dean L. Mann,Klaus Konrad,Bijan Safai,Lawrence Eron,Fulvia Di Marzo Veronese,Klaus Wolff,Georg Stingl,Georg Stingl +10 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that LC may harbor HTLV-III/LAV, and the infection of LC with this retrovirus may have deleterious consequences for the immunologic functions of this cell system and may contribute to both the acquisition of immunodeficiency and the infectious and neoplastic complications of AIDS.
