Abstract

The correlates of protective immunity to disease-inducing viruses in humans remain to be elucidated. We determined the kinetics and characteristics of cytomegalovirus (CMV)–specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the course of primary CMV infection in asymptomatic and symptomatic recipients of renal transplants. Specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and antibody responses developed regardless of clinical signs. CD45RA−CD27+CCR7− CTLs, although classified as immature effector cells in HIV infection, were the predominant CD8 effector population in the acute phase of protective immune reactions to CMV and were functionally competent. Whereas in asymptomatic individuals the CMV-specific CD4+ T-cell response preceded CMV-specific CD8+T-cell responses, in symptomatic individuals the CMV-specific effector-memory CD4+ T-cell response was delayed and only detectable after antiviral therapy. The appearance of disease symptoms in these patients suggests that functional CD8+ T-cell and antibody responses are insufficient to control viral replication and that formation of effector-memory CD4+ T cells is necessary for recovery of infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
