ABSTRACT Studies utilizing various immunodeficient mouse models of rotavirus (RV) infection demonstrated significant roles of RV-specific secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA), CD4+ T cells, and CD8+T cells in the clearance of RV and protection from secondary infection. Secretion of small but detectable amounts of IgA in RV-infected αβ T-cell receptor knockout mice (11) and distinctive anatomical localization and physiology of B1 cells suggested that B1 cells might be capable of producing RV-specific intestinal IgA in a T-cell-independent fashion and, therefore, be responsible for ablation of RV shedding. We investigated the role of B1 cells in the resolution of primary RV infection using a SCID mouse model. We found that the adoptive transfer of unseparated peritoneal exudate cells ablates RV shedding and leads to the production of high levels of RV-specific intestinal IgA. In contrast, purified B1 cells do not ablate RV shedding and do not induce a T-cell-independent or T-cell-dependent, RV-specific IgA response but do secrete large amounts of polyclonal (total) intestinal IgA. Cotransfer of mixtures of purified B1 cells and B1-cell-depleted peritoneal exudate cells differing in IgA allotypic markers also demonstrated that B2 cells (B1-cell-depleted peritoneal exudate cells) and not B1 cells produced RV-specific IgA. To our knowledge, this is the first observation that B1 cells are unable to cooperate with CD4+ T cells and produce virus-specific intestinal IgA antibody. We also observed that transferred CD4+ T cells alone are capable of resolving RV shedding, although no IgA is secreted. These data suggest that RV-specific IgA may not be obligatory for RV clearance but may protect from reinfection and that effector CD4+ T cells alone can mediate the resolution of primary RV infection. Reconstitution of RV-infected SCID mice with B1 cells results in the outgrowth of contaminating, donor CD4+ T cells that are unable to clear RV, possibly because their oligoclonal specificities may be ineffective against RV antigens.

The transfer of parental (H-2k/k) nonresponder lymphoid cells into heterozygous (H-2k/q) nonresponder recipients at the time of primary challenge with aqueous poly-L(Tyr,Glu)-poly-D,L-Ala-poly-L-Lys [(T,G)-A--L] elicited the production of both IgM and IgG anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody. Normally, the production of IgG anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody is restricted to strains possessing the responder Ir-1 allele. The timing and intensity of the graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction required for this effect were found to be critical. Injection of H-2k/k cells into H-2k/q recipients 1 wk before antigen challenge did not elicit IgG anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody production, and markedly suppressed IgM anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody production. The transfer of alloimmune (H-2q-primed) H-2k/k cells at the time of antigen challenge was also associated with no IgG and little IgM anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody production. These data are consistent with the model that nonresponder thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells) activated in a GVH reaction can substitute for (T,G)-A--L-reactive T cells to induce a shift from IgM to IgG anti-(T,G)-A--L antibody production.
