Infection of mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) produces a rapidly induced immuno-suppression manifested by low lymphocyte proliferation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and concanavalin A (ConA). Analysis of the mechanisms underlying the unresponsiveness to these mitogens was undertaken at the cellular and molecular levels 7 days after infection. The selective elimination of CD8+ T cells and the results of coculture experiments demonstrated that unresponsiveness was not due to suppressor cells. Similarly, the role of inhibitory factors such as prostaglandins was excluded, since indomethacin, which inhibits their production, did not reverse the unresponsiveness. Analysis of different cytokines secreted by ConA-activated macrophages or T cells revealed that interleukin-1 (IL-1), synthesized during the T-dependent activation of macrophages by ConA, was normally produced by cells from LCMV-infected mice. In contrast, IL-2, which is produced by activated CD4+ T cells, was undetectable. Addition of exogenous IL-2 did not restore the proliferative response, although the p55-kilodalton protein of the IL-2 receptor was induced by ConA on CD4+ cells from LCMV-infected mice. Our results can be interpreted as showing that (i) unresponsiveness to mitogens of cells from LCMV-infected mice is not due to altered functions of the macrophages with respect to IL-1 production; (ii) CD4+ cells are activated, since the p55 chain of the IL-2 receptor is induced; (iii) the lack of IL-2 production cannot explain T-cell unresponsiveness, since addition of exogenous IL-2 did not restore the proliferative response. Taken together, these data suggest that T-lymphocyte unresponsiveness should be related to an inherent proliferative defect subsequent to T-cell activation and IL-2 receptor expression.
