- A new study has shown that human T cells have an important role to play in controlling Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection.
- T cells can independently control RSV infection in human lung tissue in the absence of an RSV-specific antibody response.
- But, a vaccine-induced RSV-specific T cell response would not be able to prevent infection.
- RSV is a highly contagious and seasonal respiratory virus that mainly causes common cold symptoms in healthy adults.
- It can cause more serious lung infections in infants, the immunocompromised and older individuals.
