Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infection in young infants and housed calves. Depletion of CD8+ lymphocytes from calves inhibited their ability to clear the virus from the nasopharynx and lungs. To study these cells further, a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (...
