B cells can influence T cell responses by directly presenting antigen or by secreting antibody that binds to antigen to form immunogenic complexes. Conflicting evidence suggests that persisting antigen/antibody complexes propagate long-term T cell memory; yet other data indicate that memory cells can survive without specific antigen or MHC. Here, the roles of B cells and antigen/antibody complexes in T cell responses to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection were investigated using B cell-deficient or B cell-competent mice. Despite normal lymphocyte expansion after acute infection, B cell-deficient mice rapidly lost CD4+ T cell memory – but not CD8+ T cell memory – during the contraction phase. To determine whether antigen/antibody complexes sustain CD4+ T cell memory, T cell responses were followed in B cell-transgenic (mIg-Tg) mice that have B cells but neither LCMV-specific antibody nor LCMV-immune complex deposition. In contrast to B cell-deficient mice, mIg-Tg mice retained functional T-helper cell memory, indicating that B cells selectively preserve CD4+ T cell memory independently of immune-complex formation. An in vivo consequence of losing CD4+ T cell memory was that B cell-deficient mice were unable to resolve chronic virus infection. These data implicate a B cell function other than antibody production that induces long-term protective immunity.
