Progenitor and Terminal Subsets of CD8 <sup>+</sup> T Cells Cooperate to Contain Chronic Viral Infection
29 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Chronic infections strain the regenerative capacity of antiviral T lymphocyte populations, leading to failure in long-term immunity. The cellular and molecular events controlling this regenerative capacity, however, are unknown. We found that two distinct states of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells exist in chronically infected mice and humans. Differential expression of the T-box transcription factors T-bet and...
