Our study examined T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ mRNA expression in a murine model of experimental herpes simplex keratitis (HSK). We employed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to detect TCR Vβ mRNA expression in the inoculated eyes of both HSK-susceptible and HSK-resistant mice at different time points after corneal inoculation with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), followed by Southern blotting and densitometry analysis. In eyes from HSK-susceptible C. AL-20 mice, a more diverse TCR Vβ transcript usage pattern was detected as compared with that seen in HSK-resistant CB-17 mice. Vβ8 family members were expressed in both strains of mice at days 11, 14 and 21 post-inoculation. By densitometry, at day 11, the intensity of expression of Vβ8. 2 and Vβ8. 3 message was significantly greater in the eyes of C. AL-20 mice; Vβ8. 1 was expressed only in CB-17 mice. There were obvious differences in the TCR Vβ expression between HSK-susceptible and HSK-resistant mice. The differences in the intensity of the message expressed by Vβ8 family members between the two strains could be correlated to previous experiments that showed Vβ8. 1, 2+ T cells as the main infiltrating cells in the corneas of HSK-susceptible mice by day 11 and 14 after challenge with HSV-1.
