There is an urgent need to develop novel therapies for controlling chronic virus infections in immunocompromised patients. Disease associated with persistent γ-herpesvirus infection (EBV, human herpesvirus 8) is a significant problem in AIDS patients and transplant recipients, and clinical management of these conditions is difficult. Immune surveillance failure followed by γ-herpes-virus recrudescence can be modeled using murine γ-herpesvirus (MHV)-68 in mice lacking CD4+ T cells. In contrast with other chronic infections, no obvious defect in the functional capacity of the viral-specific CD8+ T cell response was detected. We show in this article that adoptive transfer of MHV-68–specific CD8+ T cells was ineffective at reducing the viral burden. Together, these indicate the potential presence of T cell extrinsic suppressive factors. Indeed, CD4-depleted mice infected with MHV-68 express increased levels of IL-10, a cytokine capable of suppressing the function of both APCs and T cells. CD4-depleted mice developed a population of CD8+ T cells capable of producing IL-10 that suppressed viral control. Although exhibiting cell surface markers indicative of activation, the IL-10–producing cells expressed increased levels of programmed death-1 but were not enriched in the MHV-68–specific compartment, nor were they uniformly CD44hi. Therapeutic administration of an IL-10R blocking Ab enhanced control of the recrudescent virus. These data implicate IL-10 as a promising target for the restoration of immune surveillance against chronic γ-herpesvirus infection in immunosuppressed individuals.
