Mouse thymic virus-mediated immunosuppression: association with decreased helper T cells and increased suppressor T cells.

Mouse thymic virus (MTV) is a herpesvirus which, when administered to newborn mice, induces an extensive but temporary thymic necrosis associated with immunosuppression. In the present study, the T cell subsets in the thymus of MTV infected newborn C57Bl/6 mice were evaluated at 4, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 84 days after infection, using labeled monoclonal anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 antibodies with two-color flow cytometry. At 7 and 14 days, the percentages of CD4+8- and CD4+8+ cells were significantly decreased whereas the percentage of CD4-8+ cell was increased. At days 28 and 56 percentages had returned to normal. These results indicate that the virus has an affinity for CD4+ T cells (helper cells and their precursors). Increased percentage of CD4-8+ T cells (suppressor cells) is also associated with depressed immune functions in MTV infected newborn mice.
