Elevated levels of CD56+ T Cells, CD16+ CD56+ T Cells, and CD56dim NK Cells in herpes simplex virus type 1 seropositive healthy individuals
HSV-1 seropositive individuals showed elevated dim CD56 NK cells and CD56+ T-cells, consistent with lymphocyte activities during viral activation. CD16 expression on CD56+ T-cells suggests their involvement in viral defence, emphasizing the need for further investigation into immune responses against HSV-1.
