Brain‐resident memory CD8+ T cells induced by congenital CMV infection prevent brain pathology and virus reactivation

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Congenital HCMV infection is a leading infectious cause of long‐term neurodevelopmental sequelae. Infection of newborn mice with mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) intraperitoneally is a well‐established model of congenital human cytomegalovirus infection, which best recapitulates the hematogenous route of virus spread to brain and subsequent pathology. Here, we used this model to investigate the role,...
