	ABSTRACT

Top Abstract Text References

Optimal expansion of influenza virus nucleoprotein (D^bNP₃₆₆)-specific CD8⁺ T cells following respiratory challenge of naive Ig^/ µMT mice was found to require CD4⁺ T-cell help, and this effect was also observed in primed animals. Absence of the CD4⁺ population was consistently correlated with diminished recruitment of virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells to the infected lung, delayed virus clearance, and increased morbidity. The splenic CD8⁺ set generated during the recall response in Ig^/ mice primed at least 6 months previously showed a normal profile of gamma interferon production subsequent to short-term, in vitro stimulation with viral peptide, irrespective of a concurrent CD4⁺ T-cell response. Both the magnitude and the localization profiles of virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells, though perhaps not their functional characteristics, are thus modified in mice lacking CD4⁺ T cells.

Whether or not CD4⁺ T-cell help is required to promote the CD8⁺ T-cell response may vary for different virus infections (4, 9, 10, 11, 18). Several mechanisms accounting for these differences have been elucidated using a variety of systems. For instance, if the virus infection directly upregulates costimulatory molecules (such as B7-1 and B7-2) on dendritic cells (23), the need for CD4⁺ T cells can be bypassed, perhaps due to increased interleukin-2 production by the CD8⁺ T cells themselves (7, 13). Also, cognate interaction between CD4⁺ T cells and dendritic cells can lead to subsequent signaling through CD40 and cross-priming of the CD8⁺ response (3). Limiting dilution analysis (LDA) to determine cytotoxic T-lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) frequencies in CD4-deficient major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II^/ mice indicated that the extent of clonal expansion for the CD8⁺ population was diminished following primary respiratory challenge with the HKx31 (H3N2) influenza A virus, though not with the parainfluenza type 1 virus, Sendai virus (8, 22). However, potent, influenza virus-specific CTL effector populations were detected in the pneumonic lung, and virus clearance was only slightly delayed in the absence of CD4⁺ T-cell help (22). The overall conclusion was that a smaller CTLp pool in the influenza virus-infected MHC class II^/ mice is fully used to achieve efficient elimination of the pathogen.

These experiments have been interpreted as evidence that CD8⁺ T cells, acting alone, can function to terminate an influenza A virus infection. However, there is the caveat that the MHC class II^/ mice can still mount an immunoglobulin M (IgM) response which, though virus-specific IgG is clearly much more effective (14, 15, 20), could act to reinforce CD8⁺ T-cell-mediated control by neutralizing free virus. We have thus looked at the question again, using monoclonal antibody (MAb) treatment (2) to deplete the CD4⁺ subset in naive Ig^/ µMT mice throughout the course of virus challenge (12). The analysis has also been extended to quantify the need, or otherwise, for CD4⁺ T help in previously primed µMT mice, which make both a strong CD4⁺ T-cell response to the HKx31 influenza A virus and establish CD4⁺ T-cell memory in the long term (21). The LDA approach used to quantitate the CD8⁺ response in the previous experiments with MHC class II^/ mice has been supplanted by direct staining with tetrameric complexes of MHC class I glycoprotein plus peptide (tetramers), which gives a much more accurate measure of virus-specific T-cell numbers (5, 16).

Experimental procedures. The Ig^/ µMT mice backcrossed to the C57BL/6J (B6) background (12) were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, and established as a colony at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Female (8- to 10-week-old) mice were anesthetized and infected intranasally (i.n.) with 10^6.8 50% egg infectious doses (EID₅₀) of the HKx31 influenza A virus (2), either to monitor the host response and virus clearance (primary challenge) or to establish immune memory prior to a further HKx31 challenge (secondary challenge). Other mice were primed by intraperitoneal exposure to 10^7.9 EID₅₀ of the A/PR8/34 (PR8, H1N1) virus, the source of the internal proteins of HKx31 which was generated as a laboratory recombinant. At least 1 month elapsed between priming and challenge. Depletion of the CD4⁺ subset was done by a well-established protocol (2) that requires dosing every 2 to 3 days (commencing prior to challenge) with MAb GK1.5 or a control rat Ig. The efficacy of the GK1.5 treatment was checked at each sampling by flow cytometric analysis using a noncompetitive MAb to CD4 (RM4-4; Pharmingen, San Diego, Calif.) and consistently showed <0.1% CD4⁺ T cells in spleen samples from the depleted mice.

At the time of sampling, the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), mediastinal lymph node (MLN), and spleen populations were taken to measure the magnitude of the virus-specific CD8⁺ T-cell response, while the lungs were homogenized in 1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline for virus titration in embryonated hen eggs. All virus titers are expressed as log₁₀ EID₅₀ per 100 µl of lung homogenate. The number of influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP)-specific CD8⁺ T cells was determined (5) by concurrent staining with a MAb to CD8 and the D^bNP₃₆₆ tetramer, or by in vitro stimulation with the NP_366-374 peptide for 5 h in the presence of brefeldin A, followed by fixation and staining with phycoerythrin-conjugated MAb XMG1.2 (Pharmingen) to gamma interferon (IFN-). The analysis was done with a FACScan and Cell Quest software (Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, Calif.).

Consequences of CD4 depletion for the primary response. The HKx31 influenza A virus is generally eliminated from the respiratory tract of conventional B6 mice by day 10 after i.n. challenge (6). The profile in the Ig^/ mice was essentially identical, with minimal (or no) virus being detected at day 14 in those with an intact CD4⁺ T-cell compartment; however, the infection was controlled more slowly in the absence of the CD4⁺ subset (Fig. 1). The pattern of delayed virus clearance for the treatment group reflected diminished recruitment of D^bNP₃₆₆-specific CD8⁺ T cells to the BAL (Fig. 2A and D) and smaller responses in the spleen (Fig. 2B and E), though this effect was not obvious for the regional MLN (Fig. 2B and E). The net consequence was that the CD4-depleted Ig^/ mice were much more susceptible to this relatively nonlethal influenza virus and had high mortality rates (Table 1).

The secondary-challenge mice (5) were primed more than 1 month previously with either the PR8 (H1N1) (A) or HKx31 (H3N2) (B) influenza A virus and then challenged i.n. with the H3N2 virus. Some (CD4) were depleted of CD4+ T cells (2), while others (control) were treated with an irrelevant MAb. Groups of four to five mice were assayed at each time point, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The secondary response was not assayed on day 11. The "0" results are included to show that the mice were sampled, but no virus was recovered.

These are the same experiments as those illustrated in Fig. 1, which gives virus titers in lungs. The BAL populations (A and D) were pooled, and the spleen (B and E) and MLN (C and F) samples (mean ± standard deviation) were assayed as individuals. The numbers of virus-specific CD8+ T cells were calculated from the percent staining for both CD8 and DbNP366 and the total cell counts (5).

Effect in previously primed mice. The recall CD8⁺ T-cell response was analyzed for intact µMT mice that had been primed with the PR8 (H1N1) or HKx31 (H3N2) virus, rested for at least a month, and then depleted of the CD4⁺ set immediately before (and during) secondary challenge with the H3N2 virus. Mortality rates in the CD4-depleted immune mice were not as high as those for the primary animals, but survival in these groups was still less than that for the comparable controls (Table 1). Again, the more rapid virus elimination characteristic of established CD8⁺ T-cell memory (6, 17) was compromised in the absence of the CD4⁺ subset (Fig. 1). As in the primary response, fewer D^bNP₃₆₆-specific CD8⁺ T cells were recruited to the lung in the mice lacking CD4⁺ T cells (Fig. 2A and D). The CD8⁺ D^bNP₃₆₆ response in the spleen was significantly reduced (P < 0.01) in one (H3N2H3N2), but not the other (H3N2H1N1), group of CD4-depleted mice compared to the control groups (Fig. 2B and E). Again, there was no obvious effect on the numbers of influenza virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells in the MLN (Fig. 2C and F). Perhaps the difference in spleen findings between the H1N1- and H3N2-immune mice (Fig. 2B and E) reflects that the recall CD4⁺ T-cell response was more effectively primed by prior exposure to the H3N2 challenge virus, since other experiments indicate that most of the virus-specific CD4⁺ T cells are specific for epitopes derived from the H3 molecule (J. Riberdy, unpublished data). Certainly, the recruitment to the lung is much greater in H3N2-immune mice during secondary challenge with a homologous virus (Fig. 2A and D). Despite the difference in recruitment to the lung, virus is cleared from the lung at similar rates (Fig. 1).

IFN- production by secondarily stimulated CD8⁺ T cells. Earlier experiments with one (25), but not another (18), model of persistent virus infection under conditions of CD4⁺ T-cell deficiency indicated that these continually activated virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells progressively lose the capacity to synthesize IFN- after in vitro stimulation with a high dose of the appropriate peptide (24). The HKx31 (H3N2) influenza A virus could not be recovered from the lungs of Ig^/ mice sampled at 30, 60, or 90 days after infection (21; D. J. Topham, personal communication), and so this model allows us to analyze the nature of the recall response from a resting CD8⁺ memory T-cell population in the absence of concurrent CD4⁺ T help.

Splenic CD8⁺ T cells from Ig^/ mice that had been primed i.n. 6 or 12 months previously with the H3N2 virus were infected i.n. again with the same virus and then analyzed for the capacity to synthesize IFN- following in vitro restimulation with the NP_366-374 peptide (Table 2). Secondary stimulation of these influenza virus-immune Ig^/ mice in the absence of a concurrent CD4⁺ T-cell response in no way modified the profile of IFN- production for the responding CD8⁺ set (Table 2). However, as observed in the early experiment with mice that had been given the first dose of the H3N2 virus only 1 month before a further H3N2 challenge (Fig. 2E), the numbers of virus-specific CD8⁺ D^bNP₃₆₆⁺ T cells generated in the spleen were significantly diminished in the CD4-depleted group.

Conclusions. We know from previous studies with µMT mice that both naive and primed CD4⁺ T cells deal very poorly with an influenza virus challenge in the absence of the CD8⁺ subset (17, 18, 20). Now we have shown that collaboration between CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells plays an important role and contributes directly to virus clearance when the CD8 response is intact. The CD4⁺ T cells clearly operate to promote the extent of clonal expansion for influenza virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen, though not in the regional MLN. Does this reflect that the MLN is sampling afferent lymph draining directly from the virus-infected lung? Are there virus-induced cytokines or chemokines in this fluid phase that substitute for T-cell help? The HKx31 influenza virus replicates almost exclusively in the respiratory tract and little, if at all, in lymphoid tissue. Also, the spleens of µMT mice are small, lack both follicular dendritic cells and B lymphocytes, and may provide an anatomical environment very different from that encountered in a normal mouse. Nonetheless, optimal recruitment of virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells to the lung seems to require the presence of CD4⁺ T cells regardless of what happens in the spleen.

In general, however, these experiments support the conclusion reached from the earlier LDA and CTL analysis with MHC class II^/ mice (22) that CD4⁺ T-cell help can function to augment the influenza virus-specific CD8⁺ T-cell response. This is true for naive CD8⁺ precursors specific for the D^bNP₃₆₆ epitope and for CD8⁺ memory T cells expanded initially in the context of intact CD4⁺ T-cell function that were then restimulated in the absence of such help. The latter finding was somewhat surprising, as CD8⁺ memory T cells are generally considered to be much easier to trigger and to require less cytokine (1, 19). In general, these results suggest that it is important to prime both the CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-cell compartments to achieve an optimal recall response.
