Human Cytomegalovirus Infection Induces a Rapid and Sustained Change in the Expression of NK Cell Receptors on CD8+ T Cells
1 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The CD8(+) T cell compartment of human CMV-seropositive individuals characteristically contains a high proportion of cells that express NK cell receptors (NKRs) which may contribute to the surveillance of virus-infected cells. To test whether this enhanced expression is a direct and immediate result of CMV infection, we used DNA microarrays to analyze putative changes in the RNA expression level of 39 NKRs in...
