T Lymphocyte Responses to Heterologous Secondary Dengue Virus Infections
1 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
The available evidence suggests that plasma leakage in dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused by the action of circulating mediators on the vascular endothelium, and that the host immune response is a critical determinant of this response. We have been exploring the role of dengue virus-specific T lymphocytes in the immunopathogenesis of plasma leakage. Memory dengue virus-specific T cells induced during a primary...
