Quantification of a cell-mediated immune response against varicella zoster virus by assessing responder CD4 high memory cell proliferation in activated whole blood cultures

Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by reactivation of a latent varicella zoster virus (VZV). The potential to develop HZ increases with age due to waning of memory cell-mediated immunity (CMI), mainly the CD4 response. Therefore, VZV-CD4-memory T cells (CD4-M) count in blood could serve as a barometer for...
