Development of therapies to prevent and treat chronic infections is of the highest priority as they cause considerable clinical challenges and on-going health care costs. Efforts to improve treatment of chronic viral infections, such as those caused by HIV, hepatitis C virus and human cytomegalovirus, require a better understanding of the immune responses needed to control these viruses long-term. This proposal will investigate the role of CD4+ T cells in controlling chronic viral infection.

开发预防和治疗慢性感染的疗法是最优先的，因为它们会造成相当大的临床挑战和持续的医疗保健成本。努力改善慢性病毒感染的治疗，如由HIV，丙型肝炎病毒和人类巨细胞病毒引起的感染，需要更好地了解长期控制这些病毒所需的免疫反应。该提案将研究CD4+ T细胞在控制慢性病毒感染中的作用。
