title: T Cells Take on Zika Virus.
abstract: Although CD8+T cells provide protection against many viral infections, their role in Zika virus (ZIKV) immunity has not been extensively examined. In a recent issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Elong Ngono et al. (2017) define antigenic epitopes determining CD8+T cell immunity in murine models of ZIKV infection.
