Dendritic cell function in vivo during the steady state: a role in peripheral tolerance.

abstract：:Human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) infection is characterized by increased immune cell apoptosis. Apoptosis can be triggered by signals that arise from within the cell, or by signals that are elicited by binding of extracellular "death ligands" to their "death receptors," most of which belong to the tumor nec...
