Splenocytes isolated from C57BL/6J female mice 3 to 7 days after inoculation with an attenuated strain ofSalmonella typhimuriumproduced high levels of nitric oxide (39 to 77 μM) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ). Additionally, spleen cell cultures fromSalmonella-inoculated mice were markedly suppressed in their ability to generate an in vitro plaque-forming cell (PFC) response to sheep erythrocytes. Depletion of natural killer (NK) cells from the immune splenocyte population markedly reduced nitric oxide production, prevented suppression of PFC responses, and completely abrogated IFN-γ release. Treatment of NK cell-depleted immune cells with IFN-γ restored nitric oxide production to levels comparable to those of intact immune cells and also restored the immunosuppression. These results suggest that NK cells regulate the induction of nitric oxide-mediated immunosuppression following infection withS. typhimuriumthrough the production of IFN-γ.
