Critical role of CD4+ T cells and IFNγ signaling in antibody-mediated resistance to Zika virus infection

Characterization of protective immunity to Zika virus has largely focussed on CD8+ T cells and antibody-mediated protection. Here the authors show roles for CD4+ T cells and the associated IFNγ signaling in antibody-mediated resistance to Zika virus infection.
