Cytomegalovirus-induced T cell responses accelerate Alzheimer's disease progression in mice.
Infections have long been implicated as causative factors in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Multiple studies have further suggested a key role for herpesviruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). Using transgenic 3xTg-AD mice, we demonstrate that systemic infection with the β-herpesvirus murine CMV (MCMV) accelerates the devel...
