HIV‐1 Infection in the Female Reproductive Tract: Role of Interactions between HIV‐1 and Genital Epithelial Cells
Abstract
Despite recent progress in understanding the mucosal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, the immediate events following transmission in the female genital tract are incompletely understood. Recent in vivo studies in primate models indicate that HIV-1 transmission may occur in the upper or lower genital tract and the initial HIV-1 replication occurs primarily in the target T cells and in some subsets of DCs localized in the …
