Divergent Effects of a Transient Corticosteroid Therapy on Virus-Specific Quiescent and Effector CD8+ T Cells
We investigated the influence of a transient treatment of corticosteroid on CD8+ T cells during herpesvirus infection. Dexamethasone, a synthetic corticosteroid, induced apoptosis of naïve and memory CD8+ T cells but virus-specific effector cells were spared. CD8+ T cell susceptibility was directly...
