We report that primary human vaginal dendritic cells (DCs) display a myeloid phenotype and express CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4. Vaginal CD13(+) CD11c(+) DCs rapidly and efficiently bound transmitted/founder (T/F) CCR5-tropic (R5) viruses, transported them through explanted vaginal mucosa, and transmitted them in trans to vaginal and blood lymphocytes. Vaginal myeloid DCs may play a key role in capturing and disseminating T/F R5 HIV-1 in vivo and are candidate "gatekeeper" cells in HIV-1 transmission.
我们报告称,原代人阴道树突状细胞(DCs)呈现髓样表型,并表达CD4、CCR5和CXCR4。阴道CD13(+) CD11c(+) DCs能快速有效地结合传播/奠基(T/F)CCR5嗜性(R5)病毒,通过移植的阴道黏膜转运这些病毒,并将它们传递给阴道和血液中的淋巴细胞。阴道髓样DCs可能在体内捕获和传播T/F R5 HIV-1中起关键作用,并且是HIV-1传播中的候选“守门”细胞。
