IFNs protect from virus infection by inducing an antiviral state
and by modulating the immune response. Using mice deficient in multiple
aspects of IFN signaling, we found that type I and type II IFN play
distinct although complementing roles in the resolution of influenza
viral disease. Both types of IFN influenced the profile of cytokines
produced by T lymphocytes, with a significant bias toward Th2
differentiation occurring in the absence of responsiveness to either
IFN. However, although a Th1 bias produced through inhibition of Th2
differentiation by IFN-
was not required to resolve infection, loss
of type I IFN responsiveness led to exacerbated disease pathology
characterized by granulocytic pulmonary inflammatory infiltrates.
Responsiveness to type I IFN did not influence the generation of
virus-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes or the rate of viral clearance,
but induction of IL-10 and IL-15 in infected lungs through a type I
IFN-dependent pathway correlated with a protective response to virus.
Combined loss of both IFN pathways led to a severely polarized
proinflammatory immune response and exacerbated disease. These results
reveal an unexpected role for type I IFN in coordinating the host
response to viral infection and controlling inflammation in the absence
of a direct effect on virus replication.
