Ph.D. Dissertation: “Cell-intrinsic Transforming Growth Factor-β receptor signaling mediates virus-specific CD8+ T cell deletion and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus persistence in vivo.” Advisor: Elina I. Zuniga * Denotes involvement of undergraduates
Publications *Tinoco, R., Nguyen, J., Magaña, J., and Bradley, L.M. Enhanced P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 expression sustains virus-specific T cell deletion and functional exhaustion to promote a chronic infection. In preparation. Tinoco, R., Lin, M.M., Swain, S.L., and Bradley, L.M. The inability to generate functional selectin ligands by CD4+ T cells leads to a loss of memory development during influenza viral infection.
