<prompt> Regarding HIV infection, not true is:p24 is used for early diagnosisLysis of infected CD4 cells is seenDendritic cells do not support replicationMacrophage is a reservoir for the virus  <response>: Ans. is c i.e., Dendritic cells do not support replicationRef: Ananthanarayan, 9the, p. 574, 577 and 8the, p. 573; Harrison, 18the, p. 1531; 17the, p. 1159; Harrison, 16th ed., p. 1095 Follicular dendritic cells from tonsil can be infected by HIV without the involvement of CD4. Dendritic cells play an important role in the initiation of HIV infection. Complexes of infected CD4T Cells and dendritic cells provide an optimal microenvironment for virus replication.
