CD4 and CD8 T cells have been shown to proliferate and differentiate to different extents following antigenic stimulation. CD4 T cells form a heterogenous pool of effector cells in various stages of division and differentiation, while nearly all responding CD8 T cells divide and differentiate to the same extent. We examined CD4 and CD8 T cell responses during bacterial infection by adoptive transfer of CFSE-labeled monoclonal and polyclonal T cells. Monoclonal and polyclonal CD8 T cells both divided extensively, whereas monoclonal CD4 T cells underwent limited division in comparison with polyclonal CD4 T cells. Titration studies revealed that the limited proliferation of transferred monoclonal CD4 T cells was due to inhibition by a high precursor frequency of clonal T cells. This unusually high precursor frequency of clonal CD4 T cells also inhibited the differentiation of these cells. These results suggest that the adoptive transfer of TCR transgenic CD4 T cells significantly underestimates the extent of proliferation and differentiation of CD4 T cells following infection.
