Lack of functional TCR-epitope interaction is associated with herpes zoster through reduced downstream T cell activation
1 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
The role of T cell receptor (TCR) diversity in infectious disease susceptibility is not well understood. We use a systems immunology approach on three cohorts of herpes zoster (HZ) patients and controls to investigate whether TCR diversity against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) influences the risk of HZ. We show that CD4 + T cell TCR diversity against VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and immediate early 63 protein (IE63)...
