The persistent LCMV Cl 13 strain also turned out to be much better at infecting plasmacytoid dendritic cells—which are considered the principal source of IFN-I proteins during viral infections.

A new long COVID study shows that a persistent infection could explain why some people experience long-haul symptoms, according to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

There is, however, evidence for persistent infection. Further, it was found that the incidence of increased viral diversity, which arises due to mutations in the viral genome, is evident in ...

While normal mice infected with a LCMV variant called Cl 13 could clear a persistent infection in 60 to 90 days, TLR7-deficient mice were unable to purge the infection throughout their lives.
