Abstract

Cytomegalovirus-stimulated CD4+ lymphocytes from seropositive but not seronegative donors suppressed viral gene expression in primary human astrocytes. This suppressive activity was mediated through soluble factors. These findings suggest that CD4+ lymphocytes play a role in defense of the brain against cytomegalovirus.
