HIV and mature dendritic cells: Trojan exosomes riding the Trojan horse?

abstract：:Reactivation of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is important for persistent infection in the host as well as viral oncogenesis. The replication and transcription activator (RTA) encoded by KSHV ORF50 plays a central role in the switch from viral latency to lytic replication. Given that RTA is a transcri...
