Morphological changes of mouse hepatitis virus-infected J774.1 cells cocultured with cloned mouse hepatitis virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes were examined by electron microscopy. Condensation and margination of chromatin, cellular shrinkage with severe vacuolar degeneration, and blebbing were observed. In addition, fragmentation of cellular DNA was observed, and a decrease in virus titer was accompanied by those changes. These findings show that the cloned cytotoxic T lymphocytes induce in the target cell an internal degradation program termed apoptosis, which results in virus clearance.
通过电子显微镜检查了与克隆的小鼠肝炎病毒特异性CD8 + 细胞毒性T淋巴细胞共培养的小鼠肝炎病毒感染的J774.1细胞的形态学变化。观察到染色质浓缩和边缘化、细胞皱缩并伴有严重的空泡变性以及细胞起泡。此外,还观察到细胞DNA片段化,并且病毒滴度的降低伴随着这些变化。这些发现表明,克隆的细胞毒性T淋巴细胞在靶细胞中诱导了一种称为凋亡的内部降解程序,这导致了病毒清除。
