Contact-dependent inhibition of HIV-1 replication in ex vivo human tonsil cultures by polymorphonuclear neutrophils
Summary: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), the most abundant white blood cells, are recruited rapidly to sites of infection to exert potent anti-microbial activity.Information regarding their role in infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is limited.Here we report that addition of PMNs to HIV-infected cultures of human tonsil tissue
