Research Abstract

We characterized brain-infiltrating T lymphocytes in mice infected with West Nile virus (WNV). The expression of CD3, CD8, CD69 positively correlated with viral RNA levels. The results suggest that activated Th1-like cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells are expanded in the brains in response to WNV infection. T cell receptor analysis demonstrated that WNV-specific CD3(+)CD8(+) T cells expanding in the infected brains are highly oligoclonal. Further, the infiltrating CD8(+) T cells were WNV-specific, but not cross-reactive to Japanese encephalitis virus.
