Results The numbers of both mDC and pDC strongly fluctuated but were not significantly changed during the acute and chronic phases of infection. However the concentration of both poly I C -induced IL-12 and HSV-1-induced IFN-a significantly increased in the acute phase of infection but returned to normal levels at the chronic phase of infection. The peak of IFN-a emerged earlier than that of IL-12 and it had a significantly positive correlation with IL-12 which indicated that IFN-a may initiate the immune activation. We also found that only the concentration of IFN-a was positively correlated with CD4 T-cell counts but it was negatively correlated with viral load. Conclusion High levels of IFN-a in the early stage of infection may contribute to effective control of virus replication and normal levels of IFN-a during chronic infection may help Ch Rhs resist the disease progression. The change in DC subsets dynamics and cytokine production may help further our understanding of why Ch Rhs are able to live longer without progressing to an AIDS-like illness. Background Dendritic cells DC are a heterogeneous population of APC essential in linking the innate and acquired immune response 1 . Two major DC subsets CD11c myeloid DC mDC and CD123 plasmacytoid .
