Lefrançois, Leo, Vezys, Vaiva

Most studies of injury and repair to mucosal tissue have used nonspecific mediators to induce injury. Damage to the mucosal epithelium resulting from chemical or radiation treatment associated with...

Continuous recruitment of naive T cells contributes to heterogeneity of antiviral CD8 T cells during persistent infection

Vezys, Vaiva, Masopust, David, Kemball, Christopher C., Barber, Daniel L., O'Mara, Leigh A., Larsen, Christian P., ...

Numerous microbes establish persistent infections, accompanied by antigen-specific CD8 T cell activation. Pathogen-specific T cells in chronically infected hosts are often phenotypically and...
