Functional paralysis of human natural killer cells by alphaherpesviruses.

Functional paralysis of human natural killer cells by alphaherpesviruses.

Natural killer (NK) cells are implicated as important anti-viral immune effectors in varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection. VZV can productively infect human NK cells, yet it is unknown how, or if, VZV can directly affect NK cell function. Here we demonstrate that VZV potently impairs the ability o...
