X Abstract

CD8+ T cells are generally considered a key defence against herpesviruses. The murine [gamma]-herpesvirus-68 encodes two proteins that limit their efficacy. M3 neutralises chemokines, while K3 downregulates MHC class I glycoproteins. The consequence of this evasion is that CD4+ T cells are essential to the control of persistent infection.
