Immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes are preferentially infected by measles virus in human thymic organ cultures.
Cells of the human immune system are important target cells for measles virus (MeV) infection and infection of these cells may contribute to the immunologic abnormalities and immune suppression that characterize measles. The thymus is the site for production of naïve T lymphocytes and is infected du...
