Depletion of regulatory T-cells leads to moderate B-cell antigenicity in respiratory syncytial virus infection

Highlights • Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) participate in modulating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced exacerbated disease. • Treg depletion decreases anti-fusion and neutralizing antibodies in RSV-infected mice. • The way in which B cell antigenicity is modulated by Tregs is CD4+ T-cell-depend...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) participate in modulating respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced exacerbated disease. • Treg depletion decreases anti-fusion and neutralizing antibodies in RSV-infected mice. • The way in which B cell antigenicity is modulated by Tregs is CD4+ T-cell-dependent. • Passive transfer of Treg-depleted B cells into SCID mice enhances RSV pathogenesis.
