Cytomegalovirus Infection in Gambian Infants Leads to Profound CD8 T-Cell Differentiation
22 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is endemic in Gambian infants, with 62% infected by 3 months and 85% by 12 months of age. We studied the CD8 T-cell responses of infants to CMV following primary infection. CMV-specific CD8 T cells, identified with tetramers, showed a fully differentiated phenotype (CD28(-) CD62L(-) CD95(+) perforin(+) granzyme A(+) Bcl-2(low)). Strikingly, the overall CD8 T-cell population...
