Long-Lasting T Cell-Independent IgG Responses Require MyD88-Mediated Pathways and Are Maintained by High Levels of Virus Persistence

ABSTRACT Many viruses induce acute T cell-independent (TI) B cell responses due to their repetitive epitopes and the induction of innate cytokines. Nevertheless, T cell help is thought necessary for the development of long-lasting antiviral antibody responses in the form of long-lived plasma cells a...
