Abstract excerpt
A large number of viral infections are contracted via the respiratory route. Thus, an effective immune response at this site is of vital importance. Past studies in murine models analyzing a number of viruses have reported that CD8(+) effector T cells entering the lung after respiratory infection exhibit significant functional inactivation. The impaired function in these cells has been proposed to be the result...
