Enterovirus 71 infection induces Fas ligand expression and apoptosis of Jurkat cells

Abstract excerpt

T-cell depletion is found in enterovirus 71 (EV71)-infected patients with pulmonary edema. However, the mechanism that causes T-cell depletion is unclear. To address this question, the effects of EV71 infection on the cell viability of human Jurkat T cells were studied. Viable viruses were recovered from both the culture supernatant and the cell lysate of Jurkat cells after EV71 infection. Results from...
