ABSTRACT The number of γδ T cells in the peritoneal cavity was increased after an intraperitoneal (i.p.) infection with Escherichia coli in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive C3H/HeN mice but not in LPS-hyporesponsive C3H/HeJ mice. The γδ T cells preferentially expressed invariant Vγ6 and Vδ1 chains and proliferated to produce a large amount of gamma interferon in the presence of LPS. Mice depleted of γδ T cells by T-cell receptor δ gene mutation showed impaired resistance against E. coli as assessed by bacterial growth. Macrophages from C3H/HeN mice infected with E. coli expressed higher levels of interleukin-15 (IL-15) mRNA than those from the infected C3H/HeJ mice. Administration of anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody inhibited, albeit partially, the appearance of γδ T cells in C3H/HeN mice after E. coli infection and diminished the host defense against the infection. These results suggest that LPS-stimulated γδ T cells play an important role in the host defense against E. coli infection and that IL-15 may be partly involved in the protection via an increase in the γδ T cells.
