T cell-mediated cytotoxicity for L 929 fibroblasts infected with Banzi virus (flavivirus). 1979

P Sheets, and A Schwartz, and R O Jacoby, and P N Bhatt

During infection with Banzi virus, splenic thymus-derived cells of C3H/RV mice developed immunologically specific cytotoxicity for Banzi virus-infected, C3H-derived L 929 fibroblasts. Cytotoxic activity was detected by six days after viral inoculation, was maximal by eight days, and decreased to background levels by 16 days. There was no consistently significant difference in Banzi virus-specific cytotoxicity of spleen cells from C3H/RV and C3H/He mice, which are genetically resistant and susceptible, respectively, to the lethal flaviviral encephalitis. Therefore, the ability of the host to develop killer cells did not, in itself, lead to protection from lethal infection. These experiments are, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of cell-mediated cytotoxicity to a flavivirus.

D003602	Cytotoxicity, Immunologic	The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001103	Arboviruses	Arthropod-borne viruses. A non-taxonomic designation for viruses that can replicate in both vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors. Included are some members of the following families: ARENAVIRIDAE; BUNYAVIRIDAE; REOVIRIDAE; TOGAVIRIDAE; and FLAVIVIRIDAE.

D013601	T-Lymphocytes	Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
