The role of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in viral infections

Vahlenkamp, T. W., Tompkins, M. B., & Tompkins, W. A. F. (2005, August 27). Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology.

By: T. Vahlenkamp*, M. Tompkins n & W. Tompkins n

author keywords: regulatory T cells; viral infection; immune regulation; immunosuppression
MeSH headings : Animals; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; Herpesviridae Infections / immunology; Immune Tolerance; Lymphocyte Activation; Mice; Picornaviridae Infections / immunology; Receptors, Interleukin-2 / metabolism; Retroviridae Infections / immunology; T-Lymphocyte Subsets / immunology; Virus Diseases / immunology
topics (OpenAlex): Immune Cell Function and Interaction; T-cell and B-cell Immunology; Immunotherapy and Immune Responses
TL;DR: The findings that T reg cells influence the functional immunity during viral infections might indicate that, in some cases, virus-specific T reg Cells not only influence immune pathology or prevent pathogen elimination but also can promote a generalized state of immunosuppression in vivo such that the host is more susceptible to secondary infections with other pathogens or has reduced resistance to tumors.
