Essential Roles for CD8+T Cells and Gamma Interferon in Protection of Mice against Retrovirus-Induced Immunosuppression
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
It is known that both animal and human retroviruses typically cause immunosuppression in their respective hosts, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. The present study uses Friend virus (FV) infections of mice as a model to determine how major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes influence immunosuppression. Previously, MHC-I genes were shown to influence antibody responses to potent...
