IL-12 Is Not Required for Induction of Type 1 Cytokine Responses in Viral Infections1

Annette Oxenius2, Urs Karrer, Rolf M. Zinkernagel and Hans Hengartner

Institute of Experimental Immunology, Department of Pathology, University of Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland

To investigate the physiological role of IL-12 in viral infections in terms of T cell cytokine responses involved in virus-specific Ig isotype induction and in antiviral protection, immune responses elicited upon infection of IL-12-deficient mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were studied. Infection of IL-12-deficient mice with LCMV induced a virus-specific type 1 cytokine response as determined by in vitro cytokine secretion patterns as well as by in vivo intracellular cytokine staining of LCMV-specific CD4+ TCR transgenic T cells that had clonally expanded in LCMV-infected IL-12-deficient recipient mice. In addition, LCMV- and VSV-specific IgG responses exhibited normal serum IgG2a/IgG1 ratios, demonstrating again virus-specific CD4+ T cell induction of type 1 phenotype in IL-12-deficient mice upon viral infection. LCMV and VSV immune mice were found to be protected against challenge immunization with recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing either the LCMV- or the VSV-derived glycoprotein, respectively. This protection is known to be mediated by T cell-secreted type 1 cytokines IFN-{gamma} and TNF-{alpha}. In contrast, IL-12-deficient mice showed impaired abilities to control infection with the facultative intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes at early time points after infection. However, at later time points of infection, IL-12-deficient mice were able to clear infection. These findings may indicate that viruses are able to induce type 1 T cell responses in the absence of IL-12 as opposed to some bacterial or parasitical infections that are crucially dependent on the presence of IL-12 for the induction of type 1 immune responses.
