Dengue virus-reactive CD8+ T cells mediate cross-protection against subsequent Zika virus challenge
Dengue virus-specific antibody and CD8+ T cells that cross-react with Zika virus have been described. Here, the authors establish a functionally protective role for cross-reactive dengue virus-specific CD8+ T cells during challenge with Zika virus.
