Evidence of dysregulation of dendritic cells in primary HIV infection.

TLDR
It is found that both myeloid DC and plasmacytoid DC levels decline very early during acute HIV infection, which implicates a possible role for DCs in promoting chronic immune activation.

DCs and NK cells: critical effectors in the immune response to HIV-1

TL;DR: Recent insights into how HIV-1 infection affects DC and NK cell function, and the roles of these innate immune cells in HIV- 1 pathogenesis are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune activation in the course of HIV‐1 infection: Causes, phenotypes and persistence under therapy

TL;DR: The various causes of immune activation in HIV‐1 infected organisms are discussed: the presence of the virus together with other microbes, eventually coming from the gut, CD4+ T cell lymphopenia, senescence and dysregulation of the immune system, and/or genetic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cells in progression and pathology of HIV infection

TL;DR: The multiple roles that dendritic cells play at different stages of HIV infection are discussed, emphasizing their relevance to HIV pathology and progression.

Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to induce primary immune responses and may be important for the induction of immunological tolerance, as well as for the regulation of the type of T cell-mediated immune response.

Microbial translocation is a cause of systemic immune activation in chronic HIV infection

TL;DR: It is shown that increased lipopolysaccharide is bioactive in vivo and correlates with measures of innate and adaptive immune activation, which establish a mechanism for chronic immune activation in the context of a compromised gastrointestinal mucosal surface and provide new directions for therapeutic interventions that modify the consequences of acute HIV infection.

Microbial translocation is a cause of systemic immune activation in chronic HIV infection

TL;DR: It is shown that circulating microbial products, probably derived from the gastrointestinal tract, are a cause of HIV-related systemic immune activation and increased lipopolysaccharide is bioactive in vivo and correlates with measures of innate and adaptive immune activation.

Dynamics of HIV viremia and antibody seroconversion in plasma donors: implications for diagnosis and staging of primary HIV infection

TL;DR: The sequential emergence of assay reactivity allows the classification of primary HIV-1 infection into distinct laboratory stages, which may facilitate the diagnosis of recent infection and stratification of patients enrolled in clinical trials.

Spatiotemporal regulation of MyD88-IRF-7 signalling for robust type-I interferon induction.

TL;DR: Insight is offered into the regulation of TLR9 signalling in space, potentially suggesting a new avenue for therapeutic intervention in response toTLR9 activation.
