Pre-existing YFV-17D immunity mediates T cell cross-protection against DENV-2 infection

Prince Baffour Tonto, Sebastian Gallon, Reem Alatrash, Wei‐Kung Wang, Bobby Brooke Herrera

This study shows that pre-existing YFV-17D immunity reduces DENV-2 infection severity in mice through T cell cross-protection, not antibodies.
