Future trends in neurovirology: neuronal survival during virus infection and analysis of virus-specific T cells in central nervous system tissues

J Neurovirol. 2004 Aug;10(4):207-15. doi: 10.1080/13550280490468438.

Abstract

The recent ability to quantitate and localize the interaction of antigen-specific T cells in the central nervous system during infectious and autoimmune diseases will greatly enhance our understanding of the molecular and biologic basis of virus-induced diseases of the nervous and other systems.
