Critical role of CD4+ T cells and IFNγ signaling in antibody-mediated resistance to Zika virus infection
1 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Protective adaptive immunity to Zika virus (ZIKV) has been mainly attributed to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and neutralizing antibodies, while the participation of CD4+ T cells in resistance has remained largely uncharacterized. Here, we show a neutralizing antibody response, dependent on CD4+ T cells and IFNγ signaling, which we detected during the first week of infection and is associated with reduced viral...
