Formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine preparations have been shown to cause enhanced disease in naive hosts following natural infection. In this study we demonstrate a similar pattern of enhanced disease severity following primary RSV infection of IFN-nonresponsive STAT1-/- mice. STAT1-/- mice showed markedly increased illness compared with wild-type BALB/c animals following RSV inoculation despite similar lung virus titers and rates of virus clearance. Histologically, STAT1-/- animals had eosinophilic and neutrophilic pulmonary infiltrates not present in wild-type or IFN-{gamma}-/--infected mice. In cytokine analyses of infected lung tissue, IFN-{gamma} was induced in both STAT1-/- and wild-type mice, with preferential IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 induction only in the STAT1-/- animals. Eotaxin was detected in the lungs of both wild-type and STAT1-/- mice following infection, with a 1.7-fold increase over wild-type in the STAT1-/- mice. Using a peptide epitope newly identified in the RSV fusion protein, we were able to demonstrate that wild-type memory CD4+ T cells stimulated by this peptide produce primarily IFN-{gamma}, while STAT1-/-CD4+ cells produce primarily IL-13. These findings suggest that STAT1 activation by both type I ({alpha}{beta}) and type II ({gamma}) IFNs plays an important role in establishing a protective, Th1 Ag-specific immune response to RSV infection.
