A vaccine inducing solely cytotoxic T lymphocytes fully prevents Zika virus infection and fetal damageGraphical abstract Highlights d Vaccine of modified ZIKV NS3 induces specific CTLs with little antibody response d The vaccine fully protects adult mice against ZIKV and greatly reduces viral titers d The vaccine protects fetuses against ZIKV challenge and reduces placental damage d Depletion of CD8+ T cells abrogates vaccine protection in animal models
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
