A temporal role of type I interferon signaling in CD8+ T cell maturation during acute West Nile virus infection.

A genetic absence of the common IFN-α/β signaling receptor (IFNAR) in mice is associated with enhanced viral replication and altered adaptive immune responses. However, analysis of IFNAR(-/-) mice is limited for studying the functions of type I IFN at discrete stages of viral infection. To define th...
