Simian virus 40 inhibits differentiation and maturation of rhesus macaque DC-SIGN+-dendritic cells
Abstract Dendritic cells (DC) are the initiators and modulators of the immune responses.Some species of pathogenic microorganisms have developed immune evasion strategies by controlling antigen presentation function of DC.Simian virus 40 (SV40) is a DNA tumor virus of rhesus monkey origin.It can induce cell transformation and tumorigenesis in many
