Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that B cells make a significant contribution to the resolution of influenza virus infection. To determine how B cells participate in the control of the infection, we transferred intact, major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II)-negative or B-cell receptor (BCR)-transgenic spleen cells into B-cell-deficient and CD8(+) T-cell-depleted muMT mice, termed muMT(-8), and tested them for ability to recover from infection. muMT(-8) mice that received no spleen cells invariably succumbed to the infection within 20 days, indicating that CD4(+) T-cell activities had no significant therapeutic activity on their own; in fact, they were harmful and decreased survival time. Interestingly, however, they became beneficial in the presence of antiviral antibody (Ab). Injection of MHC-II((-/-)) spleen cells, which can provide CD4(+) T-cell-independent (TI) but not T-cell-dependent (TD) activities, delayed mortality but only rarely resulted in clearance of the infection. By contrast, 80% of muMT(-8) mice injected with normal spleen cells survived and resolved the infection. Transfer of BCR-transgenic spleen cells, which contained approximately 10 times fewer virus-specific precursor B cells than normal spleen cells, had no significant impact on the course of the infection. Taken together, the results suggest that B cells contribute to the control of the infection mainly through production of virus-specific Abs and that the TD Ab response is therapeutically more effective than the TI response. In addition, CD4(+) T cells appear to contribute, apart from promoting the TD Ab response, by improving the therapeutic activity of Ab-mediated effector mechanisms.

Abstract
Using our experimental model we demonstrate the need for Th1 immune responses for recovery from influenza virus infection. Inoculation of IL-4 concurrent with infection significantly delays virus clearance and converts the immune response to a Th2 response. Immunization using live virus in the presence of IL-4 leads to generation of Th2 memory cells that fail to facilitate recovery upon subsequent virus infection. Inactivated virus expands Th2 cells, leading to responses similar to those observed following IL-4 infusion. Immunization using cultured dendritic cells incubated with live or inactivated virus mimics the results observed with direct virus injection. We demonstrate that in contrast to live virus-infected dendritic cells, inactivated virus fails to elicit Th1 immunity. This failure correlates with the inactivated viruses' inability to induce dendritic cell maturation. Thus, our data suggest that the polarity of the immune response is dictated by the nature of the antigen, and the trigger for influenza virus-induced DC maturation leading to Th1 immunity is dependent on virus replication.

Abstract
Recovery from influenza virus infection is dependent on T cell functions which can be provided either by CD8 or CD4 T cells. To identity the functions involved in recovery promoted by CD4 T cells, we have studied the course of the infection in B-cell deficient micro MT mice which had been depleted of CD8 T cells by antibody treatment. Upon infection with PR8 [A/PR/8/34(H1N1)], such B- and CD8 T cell-deficient mice mounted strong CD4 T cell responses that were comparable in size and cytokine secretion to those seen in intact mice. Yet, these B- and CD8 T cell-deficient mice could not clear the infection, in contrast to (CD8-depleted) mice containing both B- and CD4 T cells. These findings indicate that the promotion of the T-dependent antibody response is an indispensable component in the CD4 T cell-dependent recovery process.

Abstract
This article lists the vaccines current available for the control of both viral and bacterial infections. They may be attenuated live or inactivated whole microorganisms, or subunit preparations. Many more are in the pipeline and increasing attention is being given to establishing their safety before registration. Following the earlier eradication of smallpox, good progress is now being made toward the global eradication of poliomyelitis and a new program to eliminate measles from the Americas has begun. A variety of new approaches to vaccine development is now available. The hepatitis B virus surface antigen, made by DNA-transfected yeast or mammalian cells, is the basis of the first genetically engineered vaccine. Early in the 21st century, new vaccines based on oligopeptides, recombinant live viral or bacterial vectors (often existing live vaccines), or recombinant DNA plasmids are likely to be registered for human use. The efficacy of vaccines depends on the immune responses generated, and the recent substantial increase in our understanding of the mammalian immune system now offers great opportunities for manipulation to best obtain desired responses. These include mixing vaccine formulations to maximize immune responses, and combining vaccines to simplify their administration. Despite these advances, some persisting infections, such as those caused by HIV, plasmodia, and mycobacteria, still pose a great challenge to vaccine developers.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of several infectious diseases is frequently related not only to their etiological agents of viral, bacterial, or parasitic nature, but also to the host immune response. Both inflammatory responses and specific immune responses to the invading microorganisms are controlled by complex networks of intercellular signalling molecules, namely cytokines. This rapidly growing family of mediators includes lymphokines, interleukins, and molecules such as tumor necrosis factors and interferons. Patterns of cytokine production from antigen- or allergen-specific T lymphocytic cell clones have been identified, firstly in animal models and subsequently in man, and are commonly referred to as TH0, TH1, and TH2 profiles. The predominance of one of these profiles strongly influences the type of immune response (humoral versus cellular) and, at least in some experimental models, whether the immune response is protective or harmful. This is most convincingly demonstrated in models of parasitic diseases, but has also been hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Earlier studies on human immunodeficiency virus infection revealed that the replicative capacity of this retrovirus, like the herpes viruses, is strongly influenced by the cytokine milieu of infected cells. Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of human immunodeficiency virus expression by human cytokines are examples of the complex interdigitation of viruses with the host immune system.

Abstract
Twenty years ago, the terms 'altered self' and 'H-2 restriction', later modified to 'MHC-restriction', were coined to describe the finding by Peter Doherty and Rolf Zinkernagel that murine cytotoxic T cells (CTL) would lyse virus-infected target cells only if effector and target cells were H-2 compatible. This short review recalls those heady days and briefly recounts some of the later findings in three aspects of particular interest raised by the original finding: the nature of the T cell receptor, the composition and structure of the ligand on the target cell recognized by the TCR and the importance of CTL in the control and clearance of infections in general.

Abstract
CD4+ T cells play an important role in regulating the immune response; their contribution to virus clearance is variable. Mice that lack CD4+ T cells (CD4-/- mice) and are therefore unable to produce neutralizing antibodies cleared viscero-lymphotropic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) strain WE when infected intravenously with a low dose (2 x 10(2) PFU) because of an effective CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response. In contrast, infection with a high dose (2 x 10(6) PFU) of LCMV strain WE led to expansion of antiviral CTL, which disappeared in CD4-/- mice; in contrast, CD4+ T-cell-competent mice developed antiviral memory CTL. This exhaustion of specific CTL caused viral persistence in CD4-/- mice, whereas CD4+ T-cell-competent mice eliminated the virus. After infection of CD4-/- mice with the faster-replicating LCMV strain DOCILE, abrogation of CTL response and establishment of viral persistence developed after infection with a low dose (5 x 10(2) PFU), i.e., an about 100-fold lower dose than in CD(4+)-competent control mice. These results show that absence of T help enhances establishment of an LCMV carrier state in selected situations.

Abstract
Mice and cattle injected with plasmids encoding bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) glycoproteins developed gene-specific antibody responses capable of neutralizing BHV-1. The ability of animals to respond serologically to DNA injections was in part dependent on the quantity of DNA injected and was also negatively affected by carrier DNA. Calves injected with a plasmid encoding BHV-1 gIV developed significant antibody titers to gIV and shed less virus than did the control calf after challenge. This report indicates the potential of DNA injection as a method of vaccination.

Abstract
In previous studies, it was observed that children immunized with a formalin-inactivated respiratory syncytial virus vaccine (FI-RSV) developed severe pulmonary disease with greater frequency during subsequent natural RSV infection than did controls. During earlier efforts to develop an animal model of this phenomenon, enhanced pulmonary histopathology was observed after intranasal RSV challenge of FI-RSV-immunized cotton rats. Progress in understanding the immunologic basis for these observations has been hampered by the lack of reagents useful in manipulating the immune response of the cotton rat. This problem prompted us to reinvestigate the characteristics of immunity to RSV in the mouse. In the present studies, extensive pulmonary histopathology was observed in FI-RSV-immunized or RSV-infected BALB/c mice upon RSV challenge, and studies to determine the relative contributions of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells to this process were undertaken. Mice previously immunized with FI-RSV or infected with RSV were depleted of CD4+, CD8+, or both T-cell subsets immediately prior to RSV challenge, and the magnitude of inflammatory cell infiltration around bronchioles and pulmonary blood vessels and into alveolar spaces was quantified. The magnitude of infiltration at each anatomic site in previously FI-RSV-immunized or RSV-infected, nondepleted animals was similar, indicating that this is not a relevant model for enhanced disease. However, the effect of T-cell subset depletion on pulmonary histopathology following RSV challenge was very different between the two groups. Depletion of CD4+ T cells completely abrogated pulmonary histopathology in FI-RSV-immunized mice, whereas it had a much smaller effect on mice previously infected with RSV. FI-RSV-immunized or RSV-infected animals depleted of CD8+ T cells had only a modest reduction of pulmonary histopathology. In addition, RSV infection induced high levels of major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted cytotoxic T-cell activity, whereas FI-RSV immunization induced a low level. These data indicate that immunization with FI-RSV induces a cellular immune response different from that induced by RSV infection, which likely played a role in enhanced disease observed in infants and children.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus is an important human pathogen causing serious lower respiratory tract infections of children and elderly people. Previous studies on the development of experimental subunit vaccines either expressed by recombinant DNA technology or prepared from purified viral proteins absorbed on adjuvant (ISCOMs) have shown promise. The present work reports on the effectiveness of an experimental ISCOMs vaccine in initiating humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and in providing overall protection upon live virus challenge in Balb/c mice; results indicate that vaccination by the intramuscular route is more effective, even if vaccination by the intranasal route also significantly reduced virus shedding.

Abstract
We outline the mechanisms contributing to the human form of the Koch phenomenon, which we define as necrosis occurring within 24-48 h of injection of mycobacterial antigen into the skin of past or present tuberculosis patients. It is probable that tissue damage mediated in the same way occurs in the lesions themselves. We suggest that the necrosis is mediated in part by cytokines, particularly Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF), and that this occurs for three reasons. First, Mycobacterium tuberculosis evokes an immunoregulatory abnormality characterised by raised agalactosyl IgG. This abnormality, also found in rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and Erythema Nodosum Leprosum, seems to be associated with dysregulation of cytokine release. Secondly, M. tuberculosis itself triggers further cytokine release. Thirdly, the normally protective role of TNF is distorted by several interacting properties of components of M. tuberculosis, which render the cytokine toxic to the host tissues. The immunoregulatory abnormality may be susceptible to correction by immunotherapy.

Abstract
We have examined the general immunogenicity of a non-replicating antigen which was introduced artificially into the endogenous pathway of antigen processing. EG7.OVA cells transfected with the OVA gene are efficient presenters of endogenously processed OVA and induced high levels of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo. In addition, mice immunised with EG7.OVA cells developed immune responses more characteristic of class II MHC-restricted T cells, including IgG antibody production, systemic delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and a proliferative response to OVA in vitro. However, most of these responses were small, and EG7.OVA cells did not prime mice for secondary antibody or DTH responses. Thus endogenously synthesised, non-replicating antigens are poor stimulators of T cells which exploit the exogenous processing pathway. If vaccine vectors containing purified epitopes are to stimulate all T cells effectively, they will need to utilise strategies which enable direct entry to both antigen processing pathways.

Abstract
Herpetic stromal keratitis (SK), a frequent cause of visual impairment, is considered to represent an immune-mediated inflammatory response to persistent herpes simplex virus virions or subcomponents within the corneal stroma. The experimental disease in mice involves the essential participation of T lymphocytes, but the role of T-lymphocyte subsets in either mediating or controlling the disease is uncertain. In this report, rat monoclonal antibodies were used to selectively deplete mice in vivo of CD4+ (helper-inducer) and CD8+ (cytotoxic-suppressor) T-cell populations and the effect on herpetic SK was evaluated. As measured by flow cytometry, mice treated with anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody (GK 1.5) were greater than 95% depleted of CD4+ T lymphocytes and mice treated with anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody (2.43) were 90% depleted of CD8+ T lymphocytes. Depleted and nonspecific mouse ascites-treated control mice were infected topically on the corneas with herpes simplex virus type 1, and the induction of various immune parameters during the acute infection was evaluated. CD4+-depleted mice failed to produce either a significant antiviral antibody or delayed-type hypersensitivity response but were capable of producing normal cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. In contrast, CD8+-depleted mice produced antiviral antibody and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses comparable with those in control animals, but cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses were markedly reduced. Clinical observations of the corneas revealed that SK in CD4+-depleted mice was significantly reduced, whereas in CD8+-depleted mice SK developed more rapidly, was more severe, and involved a greater percentage of mice. These observations implicate the CD4+ T-lymphocyte subset as the principal mediators of SK and CD8+ T lymphocytes as possible regulators that control the severity of SK.

Abstract
Total IgG and IgG subclass antibody responses in mice were studied after infection with virulent and non-virulent influenza viruses, and after vaccination with inactivated whole virus or purified surface glycoproteins (HANA-flu). Infection induced high IgG2a, low IgG1 and IgG2b, and very low IgG3 levels of antibody in serum. Whole virus vaccine induced high IgG2a, moderate IgG2b, and very low IgG1 and IgG3 levels of antibody. In marked contrast, HANA-flu preparations induced high IgG1, low IgG2a, and very low IgG2b and IgG3 levels of antibody. Booster doses of whole virus and HANA-flu significantly elevated serum antibody levels, but the relative distribution of anti-influenzal antibody among the IgG subclasses was unchanged. Mice primed with HANA-flu prior to infection with mouse-adapted virus, produced high IgG2a, moderate IgG1, and low IgG2b and IgG3 levels of serum antibody. These data indicate that the physical form in which viral protein antigens are presented to the immune system can influence the subclass distribution of antibodies produced during primary immune responses and that once priming has occurred, responses to antigen presented in a different form are altered.

Abstract
Following a primary bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) infection the concanavalin A (Con A) induced proliferative responses of peripheral blood T lymphocytes were suppressed. This suppression occurred in the absence of detectible serum suppressor factors, suppressor cell activity or decreased accessory cell function. However, regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between the percentage of T lymphocytes present within the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) population and the amplitude of Con-A-induced lymphocyte proliferative responses (LPR). Direct evidence that a numerical deficit of responder T lymphocytes was limiting LPR was obtained by using an immunomagnetic microsphere (IMM) negative enrichment protocol to produce a PBMC population with a constant percentage (75 +/- 6%) of T lymphocytes. The Con-A-induced LPR of these enriched T lymphocytes remained constant following BHV-1 infection. Flow cytometric (FC) analysis of PBMC indicated that the decreased percentage of circulating T lymphocytes, associated with BHV-1 infection, was caused primarily by a selective depletion of the BoT8 subset. These FC data were consistent with the indirect evidence of increased TH activity, as indicated by elevated Con A-induced IL-2 production. Thus, 2 to 5 days following viral infection, the circulating T lymphocytes were activated as shown by elevated IL-2 production, increased recombinant bovine IL-2 (rBo

Abstract
We have examined requirements for antigen presentation to a panel of MHC class I-and class II-restricted, influenza virus-specific CTL clones by controlling the form of virus presented on the target cell surface. Both H-2K/D- and I region-restricted CTL recognize target cells exposed to infectious virus, but only the I region-restricted clones efficiently lysed histocompatible target cells pulsed with inactivated virus preparations. The isolated influenza hemagglutinin (HA) polypeptide also could sensitize target cells for recognition by class II-restricted, HA-specific CTL, but not by class I-restricted, HA-specific CTL. Inhibition of nascent viral protein synthesis abrogated the ability of target cells to present viral antigen relevant for class I-restricted CTL recognition. Significantly, presentation for class II-restricted recognition was unaffected in target cells exposed to preparations of either inactivated or infectious virus. This differential sensitivity suggested that these H-2I region-restricted CTL recognized viral polypeptides derived from the exogenously introduced virions, rather than viral polypeptides newly synthesized in the infected cell. In support of this contention, treatment of the target cells with the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine abolished recognition of infected target cells by class II-restricted CTL without diminishing class I-restricted recognition of infected target cells. Furthermore, when the influenza HA gene was introduced into target cells without exogenous HA polypeptide, the target cells that expressed the newly synthesized protein product of the HA gene were recognized only by H-2K/D-restricted CTL. These observations suggest that important differences may exist in requirements for antigen presentation between H-2K/D and H-2I region-restricted CTL. These differences may reflect the nature of the antigenic epitopes recognized by these two CTL subsets.

Abstract
Among murine class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones specific for type A influenza virus, we have identified both noncytolytic clones and clones exhibiting H-2 I region-restricted cytolytic activity. After appropriate antigenic stimulation, both cytolytic and noncytolytic clones proliferated in the absence of exogenous interleukin 2. All of the clones possess the Thy-1.2+, Lyt-1+2-, L3T4+ phenotype. The class II MHC restriction of viral recognition by the CTL clones was mapped by proliferation using recombinant mouse strains and by inhibition of cytotoxic activity with monoclonal antibodies directed to class II MHC products and L3T4a. The restriction specificity of two CTL clones was unambiguously assigned to the E beta d chain by using L cell transfectant lines expressing E alpha kE beta d or E alpha kE beta k gene products. Analysis of the viral specificity of the cloned lines revealed subtype-specific and crossreactive patterns of viral antigen recognition; the pattern of viral antigen specificity exhibited by each clone in proliferation and cell-mediated cytotoxicity was identical. Each CTL clone also demonstrated antigen-dependent release of helper factor(s) that promoted in vitro primary anti-SRBC responses. Finally, the cytotoxic effector function of the class II MHC-restricted CTL clones was mediated by direct lysis of virus-infected cells, and not by secretion of a cytolytic lymphokine.

Abstract
Presentation of different influenza virus antigens generates different immune responses. Intranasal immunization with either live (VA) or formalin-inactivated (VF) A/PR/8/34 (HON1) influenza virus induced local as well as peripheral cell-mediated immune response (CMI), as evidenced by elevation in 3H-thymidine incorporation. Cell-mediated immune response was detected as soon as 24-48 hr following the application of VA and 4-5 days following VF. Cell-mediated immune response in both instances peaked on the 12th day and disappeared between 16 and 20 days after application. Local CMI response was threefold higher after immunization with VA (SI = 28.6) than with VF (SI = 9.4), while VF induced higher peripheral response (32.0 vs 17.7). The mononuclear cell population in the lungs increased, correlating with a rise in the stimulation index (SI). The percentage of IgA surface-bearing B lymphocytes was significantly higher following IN administration of VA, but not following VF instillation. This corroborated the finding that VF failed to induce local antibody response in the lungs in spite of its capacity to stimulate humoral antibody and CMI responses. Mice immunized intramuscularly with both viral preparations developed a fair humoral antibody response without detectable CMI (peripheral or local).

Abstract
A mouse neuroblastoma cell line (clone NS20Y) is highly tumorigenic in syngeneic A/J mice. When this clone was persistently infected with measles virus (NS20Y/MS) it failed to grow or form tumors in conventional A/J or nude mice, even when large numbers of cells were inoculated. As doubling time, serum dependence, and anchorage-independent growth on agar did not differ significantly between NS20Y and NS20Y/MS, lack of tumorigenicity of the persistently infected cells is unlikely to be due to an intrinsic property of the cells. NS20Y/MS cells were found to be effectively rejected in athymic nude as well as conventional syngeneic mice. However, injection of mice with either anti-interferon or anti-asialo GM1 serum, both of which have been shown to deplete natural killer (NK) cells in vivo, enabled NS20Y/MS cells to form large tumors. Unexpectedly, treatment of mice with silica also allowed the NS20Y/MS cells to form tumors. Under these conditions, it was shown that silica caused a significant decrease in NK activity as late as 7 days after a single injection. Although NS20Y/MS were not susceptible to NK cell lysis in vitro, the in vivo data suggest that NK cells are in fact the prime mechanism in the rejection of this persistently virus-infected neuroblastoma cell line by athymic and conventional syngeneic mice. The results indicate that NK activity may be greater or more sensitively detected in vivo than in vitro.
