Description
The flavivirus West Nile virus (WNV) can cause fatal encephalitis in humans and mice. It has recently been demonstrated, in an experimental model using WNV strain Sarafend and C57BL/6 mice, that both virus- and immune-mediated pathology is involved in WNV encephalitis, with CD8+ T cells being the dominant subpopulation of lymphocyte infiltrates in the brain. Here, the role of activated WNV-immune CD8+ T cells in mouse WNV encephalitis was investigated further. Passive transfer of WNV-immune...[Show more]
