Depletion of Microglia in an Ex Vivo Brain Slice Culture Model of West Nile Virus Infection Leads to Increased Viral Titers and Cell Death
12 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
brain slice culture (BSC) model to investigate the role of microglia during a WNV infection. The use of BSCs provided a system in which immune responses innate to the CNS could be studied without interference from peripheral immunity. This study will allow for a better understanding of the complex nature of microglia during viral infections and will likely impact the development of new therapeutics that target...
