Abstract
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.
