Cross‐Reactive Memory CD8+T Cells Alter the Immune Response to Heterologous Secondary Dengue Virus Infections in Mice in a Sequence‐Specific Manner
14 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Dengue virus is the causative agent of dengue fever and the more-severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Human studies suggest that the increased risk of DHF during secondary infection is due to immunopathology partially mediated by cross-reactive memory T cells from the primary infection. To model T cell responses to sequential infections, we immunized mice with different sequences of dengue virus serotypes and...
