Host genetics play a critical role in controlling CD8 T cell function and lethal immunopathology during chronic viral infection.
Effective CD8 T cell responses are vital for the control of chronic viral infections. Many factors of the host immune response contribute to the maintenance of effector CD8 T cell responses versus CD8 T cell exhaustion during chronic infection. Specific MHC alleles and the degree of MHC heterogeneit...
