Superantigens of mouse mammary tumor virus induce a strong cognate interaction between T cells and B cells. In addition to amplifying the virus-infected B-cell pool, this superantigen-driven interaction leads to the differentiation of virus-specific B cells into plasma cells. Successful interaction between T cells and B cells is required for completion of the viral life cycle.
小鼠乳腺肿瘤病毒的超抗原可诱导T细胞与B细胞之间产生强烈的同源相互作用。除了扩增病毒感染的B细胞库外,这种由超抗原驱动的相互作用还会导致病毒特异性B细胞分化为浆细胞。病毒生命周期的完成需要T细胞与B细胞之间成功的相互作用。
