Sexually transmitted founder HIV-1 viruses are relatively resistant to Langerhans cell-mediated restriction
A single HIV-1 variant establishes infection of the host after sexual contact. Identifying the phenotypic characteristics of these Transmitted Founder (T/F) viruses is important to understand the restriction mechanisms during transmission. Langerhans cells (LCs) are the mucosal dendritic cell subset...
