Role of Monocyte/Macrophages in the Pathogenesis of NeuroHIV.

Monocyte/macrophages are cells of myeloid origin which play critical roles in innate and adaptive immune responses as well as surveillance and tissue repair. Only recently, the role of monocytes/macrophages in acute and chronic HIV Infection has become accepted. Here, we will focus on monocyte/macrophages on transmigration events and their role as viral reservoirs.
