Single-cell RNA sequencing unveils an IL-10-producing helper subset that sustains humoral immunity during persistent infection
Abstract
During chronic infection CD4+ T cells can progressively acquire IL-10 producing functionality. Here the authors use single cell RNA sequencing to interrogate the IL10 CD4+ T cell compartment in a murine model of chronic infection and identify Il10-producing Tfh involved in promotion of the antiviral humoral immune response.
