B cells maintain the homeostasis of splenic marginal zone antigen-presenting cells to promote the anti-viral CD8 <sup>+</sup> T cell response
2025-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Natural killer and CD8 + T cells are critical in the elimination of blood-borne viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV); however, the role of B cells in this process is less clear. Here, using the murine CMV (MCMV) infection model, we demonstrated that the B cell-deficient mice mounted a weaker primary virus-specific CD8 + T cell response than their wild-type counterparts, which was associated with increased viral...
