Mouse Models of Viral Hepatitis Inhibits CTL-Dependent Virus Clearance in Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell Lectin

CTL effector function within the central nervous system requires CD4+ T cells.
CTL responses induced during most viral infections are independent of help derived from the CD4+ T cell population. However, clearance of virus from the central nervous system (CNS) during infection with the neurotropic JHM strain of mouse hepatitis virus is inhibited in the absence of CD4+ T cells. Adoptive transfer of activated CD8+ T cells with virus-specific cytolytic activity into CD4+ T c...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) - Mediated Liver Injury
As a “stealth” virus, hepatitis B virus (HBV) is not directly cytopathic for infected hepatocytes. Hepatic injury is due primarily to the response of the body’s immune system to either acute or chronic infection with HBV. In general, two types of host’s responses occur to viral infection, i.e., innate immune response and adaptive immune response. Current evidence suggests that the innate immune...
متن کاملImmunosurveillance of the Liver by Intravascular Effector CD8+ T Cells
Effector CD8(+) T cells (CD8 TE) play a key role during hepatotropic viral infections. Here, we used advanced imaging in mouse models of hepatitis B virus (HBV) pathogenesis to understand the mechanisms whereby these cells home to the liver, recognize antigens, and deploy effector functions. We show that circulating CD8 TE arrest within liver sinusoids by docking onto platelets previously adher...
متن کاملMechanisms of class I restricted immunopathology. A transgenic mouse model of fulminant hepatitis
The molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-induced immunopathology are not well defined. Using a model in which hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-specific CTL cause an acute necroinflammatory liver disease in HBsAg transgenic mice, we demonstrate that class I-restricted disease pathogenesis is an orderly, multistep process that involves direct as well a...
متن کاملPerspectives Series: Host/Pathogen Interactions
The hepatitis B (HBV) 1 and C (HCV) viruses are noncytopathic, hepatotropic viruses that cause acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (1). The cellular immune response to HBV and HCV is thought to be responsible for viral clearance and disease pathogenesis during these infections. The T cell response to HBV is vigorous, polyclonal, and multispecific in acutely infected patient...
