Much less is known about the in vivo dynamics of CD4 T cell responses to infection. While several MHC class II-restricted LM epitopes have been defined through the in vitro analysis of T cell clones (1, 11), the frequencies of CD4 T cells responding to these known epitopes are too low to allow the direct measurement of Ag-specific CD4 T cell responses. This limitation has thus far hindered our ability to assess the in vivo dynamics of CD4 T cell responses in most infections. In this study, we developed a system to quantitate Ag-specific CD4 T cell responses in vivo, using an adoptive transfer model (12) that couples the use of a recombinant LM expressing OVA with OVA-specific transgenic cells. Our results show that the extent of CD4 T cell proliferation and differentiation is strikingly different from that of CD8 T cells.

BALB/c-TgN(DO11.10)10Loh, C57BL/6-P14, OT-I, and OT-II mice were
previously described (13, 14, 15, 16). OT-I and OT-II mice were
bred onto the B6.PL-Thy1.1 background. B6.PL-Thy1.1 mice were obtained
from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and BALB/c-Thy1.1
mice were obtained from C. Surh at The Scripps Institute (La Jolla,
CA). All mAbs were from BD PharMingen (San Diego, CA), except the
KJ1-26 from Caltag Laboratories (Burlingame, CA). Construction and
Western blot analysis of rLM-OVA and rLM-gp33 strains were performed as
described (17). Both strains were derived from the
wild-type strain 10403s and described previously (18, 19).
The LD50 of rLM-OVA in BALB/c mice is
5
x 105 CFU and the LD50 of
rLM-OVA and rLM-gp33 in C57BL/6 mice is
5 x
106 CFU.
Analysis of T cell proliferation following LM infection in vivo
Splenocytes from DO11.10, P14, OT-I, or OT-II transgenic mice
were labeled with CFSE as described (20). A total of
2 x 107 CFSE-labeled splenocytes (2 x
106 specific cells) were transferred into Thy1.1
or Thy1.2 congenic mice (21), which were then infected
with the indicated doses of rLM-OVA or rLM-gp33. For the OT-I/OT-II
combined transfer, T cells were enriched by depleting splenocytes with
B220 and MHC II MicroBeads by MACS (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) and
CFSE labeled, and 2 x 106 of each cell type
were cotransferred per mouse. Proliferation of transferred cells was
visualized by FACS analysis of their CFSE profile. Transferred DO11.10
cells were identified by staining with mAb to Thy1.2, CD4, and the
KJ1-26 clonotypic mAb, P14 cells were identified by staining with mAb
to Thy1.2, CD8, and/or the Db/gp33 tetramer
(22, 23), and OT-I and OT-II cells were identified by
staining with mAb to Thy1.1, V
2, and CD8 or CD4, respectively.
Intracellular IFN-
staining was performed as described following
5 h of in vitro stimulation with 3 µM
OVA323339 or 1 µM gp3341 peptides
(23).
Analysis of T cell proliferation following in vitro stimulation
CFSE-labeled splenocytes from BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice were stimulated in vitro as described (24, 25), using soluble anti-CD3 mAb (1 µg/ml; BD PharMingen) in the presence of human rIL-2 (10 U/ml; BD PharMingen). Proliferation of CD4 and CD8 T cells was visualized by FACS analysis and their CFSE profiles were analyzed as described (25).

Initial examination of the CD4 T cell response to rLM-OVA infection
(Fig. 1
) revealed a proliferative pattern that is strikingly different
from that of CD8 T cells reported recently (7, 8, 9). We thus
compared proliferation of Ag-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells following LM
infection. We used the system described above using rLM-OVA and DO11.10
cells to examine the Ag-specific CD4 T cell response in vivo. To assess
the CD8 T cell response, we used a similar adoptive transfer model in
which B6.PL-Thy1.1 mice received CFSE-labeled CD8 T cells from P14
TCR-transgenic mice (26), which express a TCR specific to
an H-2Db-restricted epitope (gp3341) from
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). The recipient mice were then
infected with rLM-gp33, which is isogenic to rLM-OVA but expresses the
LCMV gp3341 epitope.
As shown in Fig. 2
A, the
extent of proliferation was strikingly different between CD4 and CD8 T
cells. gp33-specific P14 CD8 T cells had already responded with
substantial proliferation by day 3 postinfection with rLM-gp33. By day
8, all CD8 T cells recruited into division were CFSE negative,
indicating that these cells had divided at least seven times. In
contrast, only a few OVA-specific CD4 T cells had divided by day 3
postinfection with rLM-OVA. Even by day 8, the responding CD4 T cells
had divided only a limited number of times and very few cells were
present in the peak representing seven or more rounds of division. This
difference in proliferation was reflected in the expansion of
Ag-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell populations. At the peak of T cell
responses on day 8, the OVA-specific CD4 T cell population increased
10-fold from 3.9 x 104 cells/spleen before
infection to 3.4 x 105 cells/spleen, while
the gp33-specific CD8 T cell population expanded >100-fold from
1.2 x 105 cells/spleen to 1.6 x
107 cells/spleen. Thus, CD8 T cells undergo
extensive proliferation and massive clonal expansion while CD4 T cells
undergo limited division and restricted clonal expansion.

(11), a
hallmark cytokine of the Th1 response. Surprisingly, our results show
that only a small fraction (<7%) of CD4 T cells that were recruited
into division produced IFN-
(Fig. 2
-producing Th1 cells. In sharp contrast, most (>85%) of the
recruited CD8 T cells differentiated into IFN-
-producing effector
cells (Fig. 2
We considered the possibility that the CD4 T cells present in the early
divisions could continue to divide many rounds over time, resulting in
a pattern of proliferation and extent of clonal expansion comparable to
those of CD8 T cells. Thus, we analyzed the CFSE profile of
OVA-specific CD4 T cells at later time points after rLM-OVA infection.
Surprisingly, a large number of responding CD4 T cells on days 14 and
21 postinfection were still present in early divisions and their
proliferative patterns remained different from those of CD8 T cells
(Fig. 3
A). These results
indicate that responding CD4 T cells did not continue to divide and
instead exhibited proliferative arrest at early divisions. To further
confirm the resting state of these CD4 T cells, we examined their
forward and side scatters. On day 3 postinfection, recruited CD4 T
cells had greater forward and side scatter compared with naive cells,
indicating that they were actively dividing. By day 8, responding CD4 T
cells displayed a phenotype of forward scatter similar to that of naive
cells, suggesting that they had returned to a resting state and
remained so on days 14 and 21 (Fig. 3
B and data not shown).
While it remains to be determined whether these cells are capable of
mounting a recall response, these results clearly show that CD4 T cells
exhibit proliferative arrest in the early divisions and persist for at
least 21 days.

CD4 and CD8 T cells are known to recognize different classes of Ags and execute distinct immune functions. In this study, we have demonstrated another fundamental difference between CD4 and CD8 T cells: they are programmed to undergo limited and extensive proliferation, respectively, in response to antigenic stimulation. While the molecular basis for this difference remains to be elucidated, intrinsic control mechanisms likely exist to regulate the proliferative response of CD4 and CD8 T cells to suit their respective roles as regulators and effectors (24, 34). Generation of appropriate helpers and rapid deployment of numerous cytotoxic effectors are essential to the development of an effective adaptive immune response. Understanding their differences will help to develop vaccine strategies tailored to induce optimal CD4 and CD8 T cell responses and thus protective immunity.
