Neuronal CXCL10 Directs CD8 <sup>+</sup> T-Cell Recruitment and Control of West Nile Virus Encephalitis
15 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
The activation and entry of antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells into the central nervous system is an essential step towards clearance of West Nile virus (WNV) from infected neurons. The molecular signals responsible for the directed migration of virus-specific T cells and their cellular sources are presently unknown. Here we demonstrate that in response to WNV infection, neurons secrete the chemokine CXCL10, which...
