New research, 'Infection of monocytes or immature dendritic cells (DCs) with an attenuated rabies virus results in DC maturation and a strong activation of the NFkappaB signaling pathway,' is the subject of a report. According to recent research published in the journal Vaccine, "To assess the potential role of dendritic cells (DCs) or monocytes in the development of a protective immune response, we infected human immature DCs or monocytes with a live rabies virus (RV) vaccine strain (SPBNGAS-GAS) and a pathogenic RV (DOG4). Both cell types were infected with SPBNGAS-GAS and DOG4 and both RVs were similarly potent in inducing maturation of immature DCs or monocytes."...
