Abstract
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have been suggested to play an important role in virus clearance and development of demyelination during mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) infection in mice1. Production of antiviral cytokines such as γ-IFN and direct cytolysis of virus-infected cells have been considered to be the major role of CTL, but their precise mechanisms in MHV infection remain unclarified. We have previously established CTL line, P1 1D which specifically lyses cells infected with MHV, strain JHM (JHMV)2 and saves mice from lethal JHMV infection3. To clarify the detailed mechanism of CTL during MHV infection, we examined morphological changes of JHMV-infected target cells in vitro cocultured with anti-MHV CTL line, P1 1D.
