Human CD8+ T Cell Memory Generation in Puumala Hantavirus Infection Occurs after the Acute Phase and Is Associated with Boosting of EBV-Specific CD8+ Memory T Cells
1 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
The induction and maintenance of T cell memory is incompletely understood, especially in humans. We have studied the T cell response and the generation of memory during acute infection by the Puumala virus (PUUV), a hantavirus endemic to Europe. It causes a self-limiting infection with no viral persistence, manifesting as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. HLA tetramer staining of PBMC showed that the CD8(+)...
