Intestinal tuft cell immune privilege enables norovirus persistence
22 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
The persistent murine norovirus strain MNV CR6 is a model for human norovirus and enteric viral persistence. MNV CR6 causes chronic infection by directly infecting intestinal tuft cells, rare chemosensory epithelial cells. Although MNV CR6 induces functional MNV-specific CD8 + T cells, these lymphocytes fail to clear infection. To examine how tuft cells promote immune escape, we interrogated tuft cell...
