Endothelial cells make up blood and lymphatic vessels and are integral part of the circulatory and lymphatic systems. They are also involved in facilitating immune responses by interacting with T helper cells. But who knew their interactions with T helper cells can actually promote HIV infection of these cells? Come and hear the story. 

Any questions? Please contact Erika Purcell-Williams (eap2@calvin.edu) for further assistance.
