Mice infected with the murine coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus, strain JHM (MHV) develop an immune-mediated demyelinating encephalomyelitis. Adoptive transfer of MHV-immune splenocytes depleted of either CD4 or CD8 T cells to infected mice deficient in recombination activation gene 1 resulted in demyelination. We showed previously that the process of CD8 T-cell-mediated demyelination was strongly dependent on the expression of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) by donor cells. In this report, we show, in contrast, that demyelination and lymphocyte infiltration were increased in recipients of IFN-gamma(-/-) CD4 T cells when compared to levels in mice receiving C57BL/6 CD4 T cells.
感染鼠冠状病毒JHM株(MHV)的小鼠会发生免疫介导的脱髓鞘性脑脊髓炎。将缺失CD4或CD8 T细胞的MHV免疫脾细胞过继转移到缺乏重组激活基因1的感染小鼠中,会导致脱髓鞘。我们之前表明,CD8 T细胞介导的脱髓鞘过程强烈依赖于供体细胞中γ干扰素(IFN-γ)的表达。相比之下,在本报告中我们发现,与接受C57BL/6 CD4 T细胞的小鼠相比,接受IFN-γ(-/-)CD4 T细胞的受体小鼠的脱髓鞘和淋巴细胞浸润增加。
