A variety of data suggest that in vivo production of interferon (IFN)-gamma is necessary, but not sufficient, for expression of secondary protective immunity against intracellular pathogens. To discover specific IFN-gamma-independent T cell mediated mechanisms, we took advantage of an in vitro culture system that models in vivo immune responses to the intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS). LVS-immune lymphocytes specifically controlled 99% of the growth of LVS in wild-type murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. Surprisingly, LVS-immune lymphocytes also inhibited LVS intracellular growth by as much as 95% in macrophages derived from IFN-gamma receptor knockout (IFNgammaR KO) mice. CD8+ T cells, and to a lesser degree CD4+ T cells, controlled LVS intracellular growth in both wild-type and IFNgammaR KO macrophages. Further, a unique population of Thy1+alphabeta+CD4-CD8- cells that was previously suggested to operate during secondary immunity to LVS in vivo strongly controlled LVS intracellular growth in vitro. A large proportion of the inhibition of LVS intracellular growth in IFNgammaR KO macrophages by all three T cell subsets could be attributed to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha. Thus, T cell mechanisms exist that control LVS intracellular growth without acting through the IFN-gamma receptor; such control is due in large part to TNF-alpha, and is partially mediated by a unique double negative T cell subpopulation.
