Unravelling early pathogenesis of pandemic and epidemic viruses: Infection and viral dissemination at barrier tissues

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract


Our bodies are covered by barrier tissues like the skin and mucosal surfaces of the nose, genital tract and intestines. These tissues constitute the interface of the human host and the environment and contain immune cells that prevent harmful pathogens to enter the body and cause disease. Dendritic cells (DCs) and Langerhans cells (LCs) are preferentially stationed at barrier tissues where
