Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the Lung

摘要: The primary function of the immune system is to maintain integrity host by eliminating microbial infringements without clinical sequelae. lung has capacity initiate and regulate responses against invasion neoplastic transformation. Mechanical mechanisms innate defences are important avoid infections lung, but respiratory tract also equipped with an extraordinary repertoire immunologically competent cells capable eliciting protective effector functions [1–3]. Among these, major initiators regulators pulmonary alveolar macrophages (AMs), dendritic (DCs) T which, interacting each other either directly or via cytokines, activate a variety alloreactive clear foreign antigens
