Differential activity of candidate microbicides against early steps of HIV-1 infection upon complement virus opsonization
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>HIV-1 in genital secretions may be opsonized by several molecules including complement components. Opsonized HIV-1 by complement enhances the infection of various mucosal target cells, such as dendritic cells (DC) and epithelial cell...
