CD71<sup>+</sup> Erythroid Cells Exacerbate HIV-1 Susceptibility, Mediate <italic toggle="yes">trans</italic>-Infection, and Harbor Infective Viral Particles

ABSTRACT CD71+ erythroid cells (CECs) have a wide range of immunomodulatory properties. Here, we show that CECs are expanded in the peripheral blood of HIV patients, with a positive correlation between their frequency and the plasma viral load. CECs from HIV patients and human cord blood/placenta ex...
