Abstract excerpt
Regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated suppression of CD8+ T cells has been implicated in the establishment and maintenance of chronic viral infections, but little is known about the mechanism of suppression. In this study an in vitro assay was developed to investigate the suppression of CD8+ T cells by Friend retrovirus (FV)-induced Tregs. CD4+CD25+ T cells isolated from mice chronically infected with the FV...
