Lymph nodes are a site of pronounced viral production. The majority of virions are being produced by activated T cells but DCs and resting T cells may also be infected. Interaction of resting T cells with their autologous DCs or B cells, or with follicular dendritic cells may render them permissive to HIV-1 infection.
