Dendritic cells

Researchers at A*STAR have uncovered a new role for a subset of immune cells in HIV infection and transmission.

By mapping the development trajectory of immune precursor cells, A*STAR scientists showed that plasmacytoid dendritic cells were incorrectly classified in the immune ‘family tree.’ 

A*STAR scientists have found a way to strengthen the immune response to adenovirus infection using engineered antibodies.
