"Negative vaccination" by specific CD4 T cell tolerisation enhances virus-specific protective antibody responses.

BACKGROUND: Cooperation of CD4+ T helper cells with specific B cells is crucial for protective vaccination against pathogens by inducing long-lived neutralizing antibody responses. During infection with persistence-prone viruses, prolonged virus replication correlates with low neutralizing antibody...
