Activation of Langerhans-type dendritic cells alters human cytomegalovirus infection and reactivation in a stimulus-dependent manner.

Oral mucosal Langerhans cells (LC) are likely to play important roles in host defense against infection by human cytomegalovirus (CMV). We previously showed that in vitro-differentiated immature LC (iLC) populations contain smaller amounts of infected cells but produce higher yields than mature LC (...
