Antigen-Specific TCR Signatures of Cytomegalovirus Infection

Abstract excerpt

Abstract CMV is a prevalent human pathogen. The virus cannot be eliminated from the body, but is kept in check by CMV-specific T cells. Patients with an insufficient T cell response, such as transplant recipients, are at high risk of developing CMV disease.
