HHV-6 and Dendritic Cells

Image
    Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells , (also known as accessory cells ) of the mammalian immune system . Their main function is to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. They act as messengers between the innate and the adaptive immune systems . Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendritic_cell Human herpesvirus 6 impairs differentiation of monocytes to dendritic cells "OBJECTIVE:Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) play important roles in the immune response against infections and malignancies. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infects monocytes and is reactivated in immunodeficient patients. To clarify the mechanisms of HHV-6-induced immunodeficiency, we investigated the effect of HHV-6 infection on differentiation of monocytes to DCs." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16647570 Phenotypic and functional alterations of dendritic cells induced by human herpesvirus 6 infection. ...

The following post appeared today on Phoenix Rising  https://forums.phoenixrising.me/threads/new-study-in-cfs-me-patients-possible-acquired-immunodeficiency.76276/ I am Manuel Ruiz, medical student in Spain and I am sick with CFS/ME. Together with my girlfriend Rosario, graduated in Medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid, we contacted one of the best research centers in Spain, CIMA, to carry out the project described below. Currently I have seen quite a few lymphocyte typages that have provided me with CFS/ME patients. They could be grouped into two main groups: -In the first group they present reduced levels of total t lymphocytes (CD4, CD8, activated t lymphocytes) that indicate the presence of an immunodeficiency of T lymphocytes. -In the second group the patients have total t lymphocytes (CD4, CD8) and immunoglobulins in normal values. But this does not mean that there cannot be some type of cell immunodeficiency. The analysis of activated CD3+ HL...
