Agot explained that uncircumcised men are at higher risk of contracting HIV because the foreskin is rich in sentinel cells of the immune system and attach easily to HIV. Agot解释说,没有切除包皮的男性感染艾滋病的风险较高,这是因为包皮有很多免疫系统的前哨细胞,容易被艾滋病病毒攻击。
The hope is that the vaccine version of HIV would invade sentinel cells, known as dendritic cells-as the SIV-based vaccine did in the monkeys. 希望存于这种HIV病毒疫苗侵犯前哨细胞,即我们所认识的树突状细胞,这正是SIV病毒疫苗在猴子体内发生的。
