The use of antiretroviral therapy in HIV type 1 (HIV-1)–infected patients does not lead to
virus eradication. This is due, to a significant degree, to the fact that HIV-1 can establish a …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize distinct microbial components to initiate the innate and
adaptive immune responses. TLR activation culminates in the expression of appropriate pro …

Macrophages play a crucial role in innate and adaptative immunity in response to
