RSV Downregulates IL-21/IL-21R On TFH Cells Via PD-L1 Induction In APCs Impairing Protective Humoral Responses
2017-10-24
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of hospitalization for children under two years of age. RSV vaccines are currently unavailable, and children suffering from multiple reinfections by the same viral strain, fail to develop protective memory responses. Follicular helper T (TFH) cells specialize in providing B cell help to antibody production and affinity maturation, mainly via IL-21 secretion. Alt...
