The arenavirus Junin virus (JUNV) is the etiologic agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever. We characterized the JUNV infection of human peripheral blood-derived plasmacytoid dendritic cells (hpDC), demonstrating that hpDC are susceptible to infection with the C#1 strain (attenuated) and even more susceptible to infection with the P (virulent) JUNV strain. However, hpDC elicited different responses in terms of viability, activation, maturation, and cytokine expression after infection with both JUNV strains.
沙粒病毒胡宁病毒(JUNV)是阿根廷出血热的病原体。我们对人外周血来源的浆细胞样树突状细胞(hpDC)的JUNV感染进行了表征,证明hpDC易受C#1株(减毒株)感染,甚至更易受P(毒株)JUNV株感染。然而,在用两种JUNV毒株感染后,hpDC在活力、激活、成熟和细胞因子表达方面引发了不同的反应。
