Virus-specific CD4+ T Cells Have Functional and Phenotypic Characteristics of Follicular T-helper Cells in Patients With Acute and Chronic HCV Infections

Follicular T-helper (Tfh) cells contribute to pathogen-specific antibody responses by providing maturation signals to B cells. In mice with viral infections, virus-specific Tfh cells expand and are required to contain the infection. However, less is kn… Continue reading
