Abstract
CD8(+) T cells are generally considered a key defence against herpesviruses. The murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 encodes two proteins that limit their efficacy. M3 neutralizes chemokines, while K3 downregulates MHC class I glycoproteins. The consequence of this evasion is that CD4(+) T cells are essential to the control of persistent infection.Entities:
