T cell immunity in acute HIV-1 infection.
Exceedingly high viral loads and rapid loss of CD4(+) T cells in all tissue compartments are a hallmark of acute human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, which is often accompanied by clinical symptoms such as fever, maculopapular rash, and/or lymphadenopathy. The resolution of the clinical symptoms and the subsequent decrease in plasma viremia are associated with the emergence of...
متن کاملT-Cell Immunity to Infection with Dengue Virus in Humans
Dengue virus (DENV) is the etiologic agent of dengue fever, the most significant mosquito-borne viral disease in humans. Up to 400 million DENV infections occur every year, and severity can range from asymptomatic to an acute self-limiting febrile illness. In a small proportion of patients, the disease can exacerbate and progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever and/or dengue shock syndrome, charact...
متن کاملBalance lost: T cell immunity in progressive HBV infection.
An efficient, coordinated immune response is key to the resolution of viral infections. Indeed, the spontaneous elimination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during acute infection is associated with the emergence of functionally competent antiviral CD8? and CD4? T cell responses [1]. In contrast, chronic infection is characterized by the presence of dysfunctional HBV-specific CD8? T cells that are un...
متن کاملProtective and dysregulated T cell immunity in RSV infection☆
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of infantile bronchiolitis and a major pathogen in elderly and immunosuppressed persons. Although RSV shows limited antigenic diversity, repeated infections occur throughout life. Vaccine development has been delayed by poor immunogenicity, production issues and the fear of causing enhanced disease. T cells assist in viral clearance,...
متن کاملHeterologous T cell immunity in severe hepatitis C virus infection
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause liver disease of variable severity. Expansion of preexisting memory CD8 T cells by cross-reactivity with a new heterologous virus infection has been shown in mice to shape the repertoire of the primary response and to influence virus-related immunopathology. To determine whether this mechanism can influence the course of HCV infection, we analyzed the features ...
