Viral infection swithces non-plasmacytoid dendritic cells into high interferon producers
Article Abstract:
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are thought to be the major source of the cytokines in vivo, which make high levels of IFN-I in response to viral infection. It is stated that conventional non-plasmacytoid dendritic cells taken from mice choriomeningitis virus make similarly high levels of IFN-I on subsequent culture.
