To evaluate the impact of sustained viral loads on anti-viral T
cell responses we compared responses that cleared acute lymphocytic
choriomeningitis virus infection with those that were elicited but
could not resolve chronic infection. During acute infection, as
replicating virus was cleared, CD8 T cell responses were
down-regulated, and a pool of resting memory cells developed. In
chronically infected hosts, the failure to control the infection was
associated with pronounced and prolonged activation of virus-specific
CD8 T cells. Nevertheless, there was a progressive diminution of their
effector activities as their capacity to produce first IL-2, then
TNF-
, and finally IFN-
was lost. Chronic lymphocytic
choriomeningitis virus infection was also associated with differential
contraction of certain CD8 T cell responses, resulting in altered
immunodominance. However, this altered immunodominance was not due to
selective expansion of T cells expressing particular TCR V
segments
during chronic infection. High viral loads were not only associated
with the ablation of CD8 T cell responses, but also with impaired
production of IL-2 by virus-specific CD4 T cells. Taken together, our
data show that sustained exposure to high viral loads results in the
progressive functional inactivation of virus-specific T cell responses,
which may further promote virus persistence.
