Sendai virus is eliminated from the respiratory tract of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) -/- BALB/c mice with normal kinetics. The level of virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity in the cell population recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage is unimpaired, the prevalence of interleukin-4 (IL-4)-producing cells is increased, and the titers of virus-specific immunoglobulins IgG1 and IgG2b are higher in the IFN-gamma -/- mice. The emergence of this T-helper 2 response profile in both lymphoid tissue and the pneumonic lung has no obvious deleterious consequences. Virus clearance is slightly delayed following depletion of the CD4+ subset, with the effect being similar in magnitude for IFN-gamma -/- and +/+ mice. However, the generation of CTL precursors (CTLp) is diminished in the IFN-gamma -/- (but not +/+) mice in the absence of concurrent CD4+ T help. Apparently the clonal expansion of the CTLp population can be promoted either by a cytokine (perhaps IL-2) produced by the IFN-gamma -/- CD4+ T cells or by IFN-gamma made by other cell types in the +/+ mice.
