IMMUNOLOGY: Chip Shots--Will Functional Genomics Get Functional?
Robert L. Modlin and Barry R. Bloom
Dendritic cells are the frontline defense against invading microbial pathogens. But do they respond to a virus in the same way that they respond to a bacterium or a yeast? As Modlin and Bloom explain in their Perspective, gene expression profiling of human dendritic cells reveals that unique subsets of genes are activated in response to different pathogens (Huang et al.).
