What Role Do Cytotoxic T Cells Play in Fighting Infection
Describing that individuals with higher numbers of pre-existing CD8 T cells specific for conserved CD8 epitopes developed less severe illness after infection with pandemic H1N1 influenza virus. The CD8 T cells directly recognize viral peptides presented at the surfaces of infected cells causing apoptosis a form of programmed cell death and preventing the virus from spreading further.
