Conditional silencing of H-2Dbclass I molecule expression on dendritic cells modulates the protective and pathogenic kinetics of virus-antigen specific CD8 T cell responses during Theiler’s Virus infection
Abstract:Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection of the central nervous systemis rapidly cleared in C57BL/6 mice by an anti-viral CD8 T cell response restricted by the MHC class I molecule, H-2D b . While the CD8 T cell response against neurotropic viruses is well characterized, the identity and function of the antigen presenting cell(s) involved in this process is(are) less well defined. To address this gap in knowledge, we developed a novel C57BL/6 H-2D b conditional knockout mouse that expresses an… Show more
