Underwhelming the Immune Response: Effect of Slow Virus Growth on CD8<sup>+</sup>-T-Lymphocyte Responses
13 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The speed of virus replication has typically been seen as an advantage for a virus in overcoming the ability of the immune system to control its population growth. Under some circumstances, the converse may also be true: more slowly replicating viruses may evoke weaker cellular immune responses and therefore enhance their likelihood of persistence. Using the model of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)...
