Limited protection against early-life cytomegalovirus infection results from deficiency of cytotoxic CD8 T cells
2024-07-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Differential antiviral T cell immunity in early life impacts the clinical outcome of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we found delayed enrichment of early-life murine CMV-specific CD8 T cells due to a general deficiency of αβ T cells. Adoptive transfer of naïve adult T cells into neonates did not protect due to a blockade of CD8 but not...
