Surface phenotype and functionality of WNV specific T cells differ with age and disease severity.

Surface phenotype and functionality of WNV specific T cells differ with age and disease severity.

West Nile virus (WNV) infection can result in severe neuroinvasive disease, particularly in persons with advanced age. As rodent models demonstrate that T cells play an important role in limiting WNV infection, and strong T cell responses to WNV have been observed in humans, we postulated that inade...
