Aging and Cytomegalovirus Infection Differentially and Jointly Affect Distinct Circulating T Cell Subsets in Humans

TL;DR: It is found that aging correlated strictly to an absolute loss of naive CD8, but not CD4, T cells but, contrary to many reports, did not lead to an increase in memory T cell numbers, suggesting that efficacy of viral control over time may determine the magnitude of CMV impact upon T cell memory, and perhaps upon immune defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroprotective and anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity of minocycline

TL;DR: Minocycline reduced the severity of encephalitis, suppressed viral load in the brain, and decreased the expression of CNS inflammatory markers in this experimental SIV model of HIV CNS disease, suggesting that minocyCline, a safe, inexpensive, and readily available antibiotic should be investigated as an anti-HIV therapeutic.
Journal ArticleDOI

West Nile virus-specific CD4 T cells exhibit direct antiviral cytokine secretion and cytotoxicity and are sufficient for antiviral protection.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the direct antiviral activity of CD4 T cells that functions to protect the host from WNV encephalitis and peptide vaccination using CD4 epitopes conferred protection against lethal WNV infection in immunocompetent mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Key role of T cell defects in age-related vulnerability to West Nile virus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that death correlates with increased viral titers in the brain and that this loss of virus control with age was the result of defects in the CD4 and CD8 T cell response against WNV, identifying potential targets for immunomodulation and treatment to combat lethal WNV infection in the elderly.
