Langerhans cells are specialized sentinels present in the epidermis expressing Langerin, a specific C-type lectin receptor involved in HIV capture and destruction. Recently, the specific mechanism leading to this HIV restriction was discovered. Nevertheless, Langerhans cells can be infected and the way HIV escapes this restriction needs to be unraveled.
朗格汉斯细胞是存在于表皮中的特化哨兵细胞,表达朗格汉斯糖蛋白,这是一种参与 HIV 捕获和破坏的特异性 C 型凝集素受体。最近,发现了导致这种 HIV 限制的具体机制。然而,朗格汉斯细胞也可能被感染,需要阐明 HIV 逃避这种限制的方式。
