Divergent Effects of a Transient Corticosteroid Therapy on Virus-Specific Quiescent and Effector CD8(+) T Cells

We investigated the influence of a transient treatment of corticosteroid on CD8(+) T cells during herpesvirus infection. Dexamethasone, a synthetic corticosteroid, induced apoptosis of naïve and memory CD8(+) T cells but virus-specific effector cells were spared. CD8(+) T cell susceptibility was dir...
