We are currently investigating why viruses expressing the JHM spike protein spread more rapidly than weakly neurovirulent strains in the CNS , yet fail to induce a robust T cell response . Strikingly , the highly neurovirulent JHM strain of MHV fails to induce a CD8T cell response , resulting in the inability of the host to clear the virus from the brain .
