Effect of plasma viremia on apoptosis and immunophenotype of dendritic cells subsets in acute SIVmac239 infection of Chinese rhesus macaques.
Non-human Watches primates such as Chinese rhesus macaques (Ch Rhs) provide good animal models for research on human infectious diseases.Similar to humans, there are two principal subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) in the peripheral blood of Ch Rhs: myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs).In this study, two-color fluorescence-activated cell so
