Deskripsi

Zika virus (ZIKV) poses a significant public health threat, but the immune landscape changes following ZIKV infection is still unclear. Here, the authors show, using flow cytometry and transcriptomic data, that ZIKV induces a multitude of immune responses, with plasmacytoid dendritic cells poised centrally to interact with other immune cell types.
