1 Rapamycin ameliorates the CTLA4-Ig-mediated defect in CD8(+) T cell immunity during gammaherpesvirus infection. Sirolimus cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 Homo sapiens
2 However, the addition of rapamycin to the CTLA4-Ig regimen was able to quantitatively and qualitatively restore the antigen-specific CD8(+) T cell response to the virus. Sirolimus cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 Homo sapiens
3 This improvement was physiologically relevant, in that CTLA4-Ig treated animals exhibited a greater viral burden following infection that was reduced to levels observed in untreated immunocompetent animals by the addition of rapamycin. Sirolimus cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 Homo sapiens
