Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens

2.1K
The immune system's response to viral infections is a complex and coordinated process involving natural killer (NK) cells, T cell-mediated responses, and antibody-mediated responses.
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.5K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

1.6K
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
Complete Antigens
Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Macrophages, key myeloid cells, are primary hosts for HIV in vivo alongside CD4 T lymphocytes.
  • Macrophages are distributed in most tissues, including the brain, and can sustain HIV replication independently of T cells.
  • Their resistance to HIV's cytopathic effects makes them significant viral reservoirs and vehicles for spread.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of HIV-macrophage interactions throughout the viral life cycle.
  • To highlight the unique aspects of macrophage infection by HIV.
  • To extend observations to other myeloid cells like dendritic cells and monocytes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent evidence from humanized mice and macaque models.
  • Analysis of cellular processes involved in HIV entry, replication, and assembly in macrophages.
  • Examination of macrophage innate immune responses to viral components.

Main Results:

  • Macrophages can sustain HIV replication in vivo without T cells.
  • HIV utilizes a pre-existing plasma membrane-connected compartment for assembly and budding in macrophages.
  • Macrophages can detect viral components, influencing viral spread.

Conclusions:

  • Macrophages are crucial for HIV persistence and dissemination due to their role as reservoirs and their unique infection dynamics.
  • Further research into HIV-macrophage interactions is essential for therapeutic strategies.
  • Understanding these interactions can inform treatments targeting other myeloid cells involved in HIV infection.
