Telomere Dynamics in Immune Senescence and Exhaustion Triggered by Chronic Viral Infection
The progressive loss of immunological memory during aging correlates with a reduced proliferative capacity and shortened telomeres of T cells. Growing evidence suggests that this phenotype is recapitulated during chronic viral infection. The antigenic volume imposed by persistent and latent viruses...
