Future trends in neurovirology: neuronal survival during virus infection and analysis of virus-specific T cells in central nervous system tissues.
The recent ability to quantitate and localize the interaction of antigen-specific T cells in the central nervous system during infectious and autoimmune diseases will greatly enhance our understanding of the molecular and biologic basis of virus-induced diseases of the nervous and other systems.
