متن کاملFoxp3+ Regulatory T Cells Control Persistence of Viral CNS Infection
We earlier established a model of a persistent viral CNS infection using two week old immunologically normal (genetically unmodified) mice and recombinant measles virus (MV). Using this model infection we investigated the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) as regulators of the immune response in the brain, and assessed whether the persistent CNS infection can be modulated by manipulation of Tre...
متن کاملPersistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen associated with gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases of cattle worldwide. It causes continuous economic losses to the cattle industry primarily due to decreased reproductive performance. The ability of virus to cross the placenta during early pregnancy can result in the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves. P...
متن کاملRegulatory T cells and viral infections.
Viral infections often lead to generalized immunosuppression characterized by the downregulation of virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses and/or non-specific inflammation. One of the mechanisms for the virus-induced immunosuppression is the induction of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells that act to suppress effector T cell functions during infection. Depending on the situation, the C...
متن کاملReprogramming of antiviral T cells prevents inactivation and restores T cell activity during persistent viral infection.
Failure to clear persistent viral infections results from the early loss of T cell activity. A pertinent question is whether the immune response is programmed to fail or if nonresponsive T cells can specifically be fixed to eliminate infection. Although evidence indicates that T cell expansion is permanently programmed during the initial priming events, the mechanisms that determine the acquisi...
