Abstract excerpt
CMV markedly alters the phenotype and function of NK-cells and T-cells and has been linked to immunosenescence. We show here that subjects with effective CMV control (evidenced by low CMV IgG titers) have functional responses to CMV that are driven by either NKG2C+ NK-cells or CMV-specific T-cells (15 of 24 subjects), but not both. These data indicate that people with effective CMV control are either NK-cell or...
