Topological DNA damage, telomere attrition and T cell senescence during chronic viral infections
24 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: T cells play a key role in controlling viral infections; however, the underlying mechanisms regulating their functions during human viral infections remain incompletely understood. Here, we used CD4 T cells derived from individuals with chronic viral infections or healthy T cells treated with camptothecin (CPT) - a topoisomerase I (Top 1) inhibitor - as a model to investigate the role of DNA topology...
