Mice infected with the neurotropic JHM strain of mouse hepatitis
virus (JHMV) clear infectious virus; nevertheless, virus persists in
the CNS as noninfectious RNA, resulting in ongoing primary
demyelination. Phenotypic and functional analysis of CNS infiltrating
cells during acute infection revealed a potent regional
CD8+ T cell response comprising up to 50% virus-specific T
cells. The high prevalence of virus-specific T cells correlated with ex
vivo cytolytic activity and efficient reduction in viral titers.
Progressive viral clearance coincided with the loss of cytolytic
activity, but retention of IFN-
secretion and increased expression
of the early activation marker CD69, indicating differential regulation
of effector function. Although the total number of infiltrating T cells
declined following clearance of infectious virus, CD8+ T
cells, both specific for the dominant viral epitopes and of unknown
specificity, were retained within the CNS, suggesting an ongoing T cell
response during persistent CNS infection involving a virus-independent
component. Reversed immunodominance within the virus-specific
CD8+ T cell population further indicated epitope-specific
regulation, supporting ongoing T cell activation. Even in the absence
of infectious virus, the CNS thus provides an environment that
maintains both unspecific and Ag-specific CD8+ T cells with
restricted effector function. Chronic T cell stimulation may thus play
a role in preventing viral recrudescence, while increasing the risk of
pathological conditions, such as demyelination.
