Herpes simplex virus 2 infection is characterized by cycles of viral quiescence and reactivation. CD8(+) T cells persist at the site of viral reactivation, at the genital dermal-epidermal junction contiguous to neuronal endings of sensory neurons, for several months after herpes lesion resolution. To evaluate whether these resident CD8(+) T cells frequently encounter HSV antigen even during times of asymptomatic viral infection, we analyzed the transcriptional output of CD8(+) T cells captured b ...[more]
