Mashup Score: 0Indirect CD4+ T cell protection against mouse gamma-herpesvirus infection via interferon gamma | Journal of Virology - 4 day(s) ago
CD4+ T cells are critical for the control of gamma-herpesvirus infection; they act indirectly, by recruiting natural killer (NK) cells to attack infected target cells. Here, we report that the CD4+ T cell/NK cell axis of gamma-herpesvirus control requires …
