Modulation of host dendritic cell activity by virus (kw:KW-1118)

Dendritic cells are key determinants of viral disease outcome since they are able to trigger immune responses during viral infection. Several viruses prevent cytokine production by dendritic cells in order to facilitate release of progeny. Viruses can interfere at several steps of Denritic cells induced immunity including generation, survival, migration and maturation, as well as processing/presentation of antigen by DCs.
