Abstract: Objective The arm of this study was to investigate the changes of TCRγδ+CD3+CD4-CD8 (TCRγδ+DNT) cells in C3H/Hej mice with murine hepatitis virus type 3(MHV-3)- induced viral hepatitis. Methods MHV-3- induced viral hepatitis was established. At day 0,3,7,10,15 and 20 after MHV-3 infection,the TCRγδ+DNT cells in peripheral blood and spleen were counted by fluorescent antibodies staining and detected by flow cytometry for its proportion to CD3+T cells and the expression of CD25,CD28,CD30 and CD44 of the cells were identified. Results After MHV-3 infection,the proportion of TCRγδ+DNT to CD3+T cells in peripheral blood and spleen were markedly increased(P< 0.05) and it peaked at day 10(4.8± 1.5% and 4.5± 1.3% in peripheral blood and spleen,respectively);The analysis of cell surface marker demonstrated that both of the phenotypes of TCRγδ+DNTs in peripheral blood and spleen were TCRγδ+CD3+CD4-CD8-CD25-CD28-CD30-CD44+. Conclusions The increase of TCRγδ+DNT in peripheral blood and spleen may play an important role in the pathological process of MHV-3-induced viral hepatitis.
