Zika virus (ZIKV) has gained worldwide attention since it emerged, and a global effort is underway to understand the correlates of protection and develop diagnostics to identify rates of infection. As new therapeutics and vaccine approaches are evaluated in clinical trials, additional effort is focused on identifying the adaptive immune correlates of protection against ZIKV disease. To aid in this endeavor we have begun to dissect the role of CD4+T cells in the protection against neuroinvasive ZIKV disease. We have identified an important role for CD4+T cells in protection, demonstrating that in the absence of CD4+T cells mice have more severe neurological sequela and significant increases in viral titers in the central nervous system (CNS). The transfer of CD4+T cells from ZIKV immune mice protect type I interferon receptor deficient animals from a lethal challenge; showing that the CD4+T cell response is necessary and sufficient for control of ZIKV disease. Using a peptide library spanning the complete ZIKV polyprotein, we identified both ZIKV-encoded CD4+T cell epitopes that initiate immune responses, and ZIKV specific CD4+T cell receptors that recognize these epitopes. Within the ZIKV antigen-specific TCRβ repertoire, we uncovered a high degree of diversity both in response to a single epitope and among different mice responding to a CD4+T cell epitope. Overall this study identifies a novel role for polyfunctional and polyclonal CD4+T cells in providing protection against ZIKV infection and highlights the need for vaccines to develop robust CD4+T cell responses to prevent ZIKV neuroinvasion and limit replication within the CNS. Since the detection of ZIKV in the Americas in 2015, urgent efforts have been made to develop ZIKV-specific methods of diagnosis and novel vaccines. However, a full understanding of the natural history of infection, interactions with other arboviruses, and the protection mediated by therapeutics or vaccination is hindered by our limited means of assessing ZIKV-specific immune responses. In this study, we investigated the role of CD4+T cells in protection from ZIKV using a mouse model of infection. We found that CD4+T cells are both necessary and sufficient for protection from ZIKV severe disease. We have identified the ZIKV-encoded CD4+T cell epitopes which are targeted during infection and the cognate T cell receptors to these epitopes. This study underscores the need to develop ZIKV vaccines which elicit strong CD4+T cell responses to potentially provide protection from ZIKV neuroinvasion and replication in the CNS.
