Life-long persistent viral infection alters the naïve T-cell pool, impairing CD8 T-cell immunity in late life()

Persistent CMV infection has been associated with immune senescence. To address the causal impact of life-long persistent viral infection on immune homeostasis and defense, we infected young mice systemically with HSV-1, MCMV or both viruses, and studied their T-cell homeostasis and function.
