Abstract excerpt
Intranasal infection of mice with murine gamma-herpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) elicits a striking CD8+ T-cell lymphocytosis following the establishment of latency, which includes a marked increased frequency of Vbeta4+ CD8+ T cells. The Vbeta4+ CD8+ T cells do not recognize a conventional viral peptide, but are stimulated by an uncharacterized ligand expressed on latently infected, activated B cells. The selective...
