Zika vaccine: T cells provide protection
A recent study showed that T cells, particularly CD8+ T cells, play a key role in protecting mice from the Zika virus, despite the weak ability of antibodies to neutralize the virus. The results indicated that these cells provide short-term protection after vaccination, and that combining cellular responses and antibodies may be essential for developing more effective and long-lasting Zika vaccines, although the study is still in the preclinical stage.
