In immunocompromised patients, parainfluenza virus (PIV) infections have an increased potential to spread to the lower respiratory tract (LRT), resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding the immunologic defects that facilitate viral spread to the LRT will help in developing better management protocols. In this study, we immunosuppressed mice with dexamethasone and/or cyclophosphamide then monitored the spread of viral infection into the LRT by using a noninvasive bioluminescence imaging system and a reporter Sendai virus (murine PIV type 1). Our results show that immunosuppression led to delayed viral clearance and increased viral loads in the lungs. After cessation of cyclophosphamide treatment, viral clearance occurred before the generation of Sendai-specific antibody responses and coincided with rebounds in neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. Neutrophil suppression using anti-Ly6G antibody had no effect on infection clearance, NK-cell suppression using anti-NK antibody delayed clearance, and T-cell suppression using anti-CD3 antibody resulted in no clearance (chronic infection). Therapeutic use of hematopoietic growth factors G-CSF and GM-CSF had no effect on clearance of infection. In contrast, treatment with Sendai virus—specific polysera or a monoclonal antibody limited viral spread into the lungs and accelerated clearance. Overall, noninvasive bioluminescence was shown to be a useful tool to study respiratory viral progression, revealing roles for NK and T cells, but not neutrophils, in Sendai virus clearance after treatment with dexamethasone and cyclophosphamide. Virus-specific antibodies appear to have therapeutic potential. Parainfluenza viruses (PIV) are major respiratory pathogens that infect almost all children before the age of 5. Infection is particularly severe and life threatening in immunocompromised patients. Although infections among immunocompromised patients are common, there are currently no effective therapeutic or preventive measures. Here, we studied the progression of PIV infection in living, immunocompromised mice by non-invasive bioluminescence imaging. We also tested the outcome of treating infected, immunocompromised mice with various intervention approaches designed to target the virus by specific antibodies or modulating the host’s immune system using drugs that increase neutrophils or B- and T-cells broadly. Bioluminescence imaging was demonstrated to quantify respiratory infection with greater precision, less variability, and fewer animals than classic techniques that require euthanizing groups of animals at defined time points. Non-invasive imaging of infection in immunocompromised hosts is also shown to be well suited to track sustained infections and develop novel preventive and therapeutic strategies.
