Research Description:

Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals including AIDS patients. It has been known for a number of years that an intact CD4 T cell compartment is critical for defense against P. carinii. However, there are a number of questions regarding the immune response to P. carinii that are still unresolved. The focus of our work is to examine the immune response to P. carinii using a murine model of infection. There are two major questions that are being addressed:

1. What is the role of B cells in the immune response to P. carinii? It has not been fully appreciated that B cell function is as critical to host defense against P. carinii as is CD4 T cell function. Mice that are deficient in B cells but have normal T cells will succumb to P. carinii pneumonia. Clearly there is a role for P.carinii-specific antibody in clearance of the infection. However, B cells have a variety other of functions such as cytokine production and antigen presentation. We have been using a chimeric mouse model in which we generate mice that have a deficiency in a specific molecule on B cells. We have determined that MHC class II must be present on B cells for clearance of P. carinii. In addition, expression of CD40 on B cells is also required for clearance of the infection. Interestingly, neither MHC class II nor CD40 deficient chimeras were able to produce P. carinii-specific IgG. We are currently using a chimeras, adoptive transfers, and transgenic mice to determine whether B cells are required during early T cell priming events or whether the downstream production of IgG is the major role of B cells in resisting P. carinii infection.

2. How do neonatal mice handle respiratory infection? It has long been known that infants are particularly susceptible to respiratory pathogens. We are using mouse models of P. carinii and influenza virus infection to examine neonatal immunity in the lungs. Interestingly, mice infected as neonates take three weeks to mount an inflammatory response to P. carinii whereas adult mice given a comparable infectious dose respond within 3-5 days and clear the infection within 2-3 weeks. We have found that T cells isolated from neonatal mice are able to effect clearance of P. carinii when transferred to an adult lung environment. This has led us to more closely scrutinize the neonatal lung environment. We have found that proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines are deficient in neonatal lungs however TGFβ and IL-10, both anti-inflammatory, are elevated. In addition, dendritic cells in neonatal lungs do not mature and migrate to draining lymph nodes with the same efficiency as dendritic cells in adult lungs. Interestingly, neonatal mice develop interstitial pneumonia in response to influenza virus infection which may be one reason why they are significantly more susceptible to infection than are adult mice. Neonatal mice mount a significantly different chemokine and cytokine response to influenza virus infection. Additionally, the response to immunodominant influenza epitopes is significantly different in neonatal mice. We are currently utilizing transgenic and knockout mouse models to address the mechanisms responsible for these observations.
