The mixture of retroviruses termed LP-BM5 murine leukemia virus (MuLV) contains a replication-defective genome (BM5def), the crucial element for induction of murine AIDS (MAIDS), as well as helper B-tropic ecotropic and mink cell focus-forming MuLV. Among Fv-1b mouse strains, C57BL mice are sensitive to infection by these viruses and to development of MAIDS, but A/J mice are highly resistant to all viral components and to induction of disease. Inasmuch as previous genetic studies indicated a major role in susceptibility for the H-2D locus within the MHC, the effect of CD8+ T cells in A/J resistance to MAIDS was analyzed by depletion of this subset using mAb. A/J mice treated with anti-CD8 mAb beginning soon after inoculation with LP-BM5 MuLV developed disease within 5 wk after virus inoculation. Histopathologic and flow cytometry alteration of tissues and cells from the mAb-treated mice were identical to those seen in virus-infected MAIDS-sensitive strains, and assays for MuLV demonstrated high-level expression of ecotropic MuLV and integration of BM5def. Parallel studies of A/J mice treated with anti-CD4 mAb after infection revealed enhanced expression of ecotropic MuLV but no integration of BM5def, and no signs of MAIDS were detected. These observations indicate that CD8+ T cells are critical in the resistance of A/J mice to LP-BM5 MuLV replication and development of disease and suggest that CD4+ T cells play a role in regulation of ecotropic virus replication.
