2V
2 T Cells Produce IFN-
and TNF-
with an On/Off/On Cycling Pattern in Response to Live Bacterial Products1

Whereas cytokine production in 
T cells is rapidly regulated
by exposure to peptide Ag, the mechanisms regulating cytokine
production by 
T cells are unknown. In this study, we demonstrate
that human V
2V
2 T cells produce IFN-
and TNF-
as early as
2 h after Ag exposure, and that they produce these cytokines in a
dose- and time- dependent manner in response to stimulation with a live
bacterial product, iso-butylamine (IBA), but not to dead
bacteria or LPS. 
T cells began, ceased, and then resumed IFN-
and TNF-
generation in an on/off/on cycling pattern, both in vitro
and in vivo, depending on the presence or absence of IBA. IFN-
and
TNF-
, whose optimum production was dependent on IBA-stimulated

T cells, were critical for monocyte-mediated killing of
Escherichia coli. By limiting cytokine production to
periods of direct contact with live bacteria, 
T cells focus
their resources at the site of infection, while limiting systemic
immunopathology. Thus, human 
T cells may mediate innate
resistance to extracellular bacteria via tightly regulated cytokine
production without necessarily expanding in
number.
