Polyfunctional CD4+ T cell responses to a set of pathogenic arenaviruses provide broad population coverage [PDF]
, 2010 Background Several arenaviruses cause severe hemorrhagic fever and aseptic meningitis in humans for which no licensed vaccines are available. A major obstacle for vaccine development is pathogen heterogeneity within the Arenaviridae family.
