Early clearance of a thymidine kinase-deficient strain of herpes simplex virus type 2 from the female genital tract required T-cell-produced gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). Transfer of activated CD8(+) T cells to irradiated C5713L/6 mice resulted in rapid virus clearance, but clearance was greatly delayed in recipients deficient in the IFN-gamma receptor (IFN-gamma R). Early virus clearance was demonstrated in radiation chimeras in which IFN-gamma R expression was limited to parenchymal cells, but resolution was significantly delayed in chimeras deficient in IFN-gamma R expression and chimeras expressing IFN-gamma R only on bematopoietic cells. Together, these results suggest that early IFN-gamma-mediated protection was manifested mainly by stimulation of genital parenchymal cells.
