NEUROIMMUNE EVASION OF ZIKA VIRUS TO FACILITATE VIRAL PATHOGENESIS

Neuroimmune Evasion of Zika Virus to Facilitate Viral Pathogenesis

Zika virus (ZIKV), which preferentially targets neural stem and progenitor cells (NSCs) especially in developing brain, is causally associated with fetal microcephaly, intrauterine retardation, and other congenital malformations in humans.However, there are, so far, no effective drugs and vaccines against ZIKV epidemics, warranting an enhanced unde

Transcriptional Profiling of CD8+ CMV-Specific T Cell Functional Subsets Obtained Using a Modified Method for Isolating High-Quality RNA From Fixed and Permeabilized Cells

Previous studies suggest that the presence of antigen-specific polyfunctional T cells is correlated with improved pathogen clearance, disease control, and clinical outcomes; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the generation, function, and survival of polyfunctional T cells remain unknown.The study of polyfunctional T cells has been,
