Abstract:Rotavirus (RV) is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea. Dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages play a crucial role in the immune response against viral infections; therefore it is important to dissect the interaction of RV with these cells. Here we analyzed the interaction of RV with neonatal DCs and macrophages in an in vitro model. Cord blood-derived mononuclear cells were culture in vitro for 6 days in the presence of either hGM-CSF/IL-4 or hM-CSF to generated enriched DCs and macrophages, respective… Show more
