Efficacy of HIV-specific and 'antibody-independent' mechanisms for complement activation by HIV-infected cells.

abstract：:Low-density cells (LDC) of dendritic morphology from the blood of patients with common variable (late-onset) hypogammaglobulinaemia (CVH) did not induce allogeneic immunoglobulin production by normal B cells unlike LDC from normal blood.
