Efficacious control of cytomegalovirus infection after long-term depletion of CD8+ T lymphocytes [PDF]
, 1990 Although the relative contribution of different immune effector functions to clearing tissues of cytomegalovirus is controversial, the contribution of CD8+ T lymphocytes has generally been accepted as essential. In this report, we show that under certain
