mSphere of Influence: Understanding Virus-Host Interactions Requires a Multifaceted Approach

ABSTRACT Rory de Vries works in the field of viral pathogenesis and focuses on interactions between respiratory viruses (or corresponding vaccines) and the host immune system. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the articles “Predominant infection of CD150+ lymphocytes and dendr...
