Nodular inflammatory foci are sites of T cell priming and control of murine cytomegalovirus infection in the neonatal lung.
Neonates, including mice and humans, are highly susceptible to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. However, many aspects of neonatal CMV infections such as viral cell tropism, spatio-temporal distribution of the pathogen as well as genesis of antiviral immunity are unknown. With the use of reporter mut...
