A role for the chemokine RANTES in regulating CD8 T cell responses during chronic viral infection.

abstract：:Genetic exchange by recombination, or reassortment of genomic segments, has been shown to be an important process in RNA virus evolution, resulting often in important phenotypic changes affecting host range and virulence. However, data from numerous systems indicate that reassortant or recombinant genotypes could be s...
