Abnormal CD8 T Cell Response to Influenza Virus Observed in Alcoholics

Chronic drinking is associated with an increased incidence and severity of respiratory infections, previous research has shown. Research had also demonstrated that an increase in disease severity to influenza virus (IAV) infections was due, in part, to a failure to mount a robust IAV-specific CD8 T cell response, along with a specific impairment in the ability of these T cells to produce interferon (and) #947; (IFN (and) #947;).
