NF-
B/Rel transcription factors are linked to innate immune responses and APC activation. Whether and how the induction of NF-
B signaling in normal CD4+ T cells regulates effector function are not well-understood. The liberation of NF-
B dimers from inhibitors of
B (I
Bs) constitutes a central checkpoint for physiologic regulation of most forms of NF-
B. To investigate the role of NF-
B induction in effector T cell responses, we targeted inhibition of the NF-
B/Rel pathway specifically to T cells. The Th1 response in vivo is dramatically weakened when T cells defective in their NF-
B induction (referred to as I
B
(
N) transgenic cells) are activated by a normal APC population. Analyses in vivo, and IL-12-supplemented T cell cultures in vitro, reveal that the mechanism underlying this T cell-intrinsic requirement for NF-
B involves activation of the IFN-
gene in addition to clonal expansion efficiency. The role of NF-
B in IFN-
gene expression includes a modest decrease in Stat4 activation, T box expressed in T cell levels, and differentiation efficiency along with a more prominent postdifferentiation step. Further, induced expression of Bcl-3, a trans-activating I
B-like protein, is decreased in T cells as a consequence of NF-
B inhibition. Together, these findings indicate that NF-
B induction in T cells regulates efficient clonal expansion, Th1 differentiation, and IFN-
production by Th1 lymphocytes at a control point downstream from differentiation.
