Conclusions
Myeloid DC facilitate establishment of HIV latency in resting memory CD4+ T-cells via direct infection.
Close proximity (± cell contact) of mDC and T-cells required
Role for negative regulators in the establishment/maintenance of DC-induced latency
Implications
Efficient infection of resting T-cells in close contact with mDC and HIV may explain the rapid early establishment of the latent reservoir.
If infectious virus persists in tissues such as LN in patients on cART, mDC may facilitate ongoing infection of resting T-cells leading to replenishment of the reservoir.
