Immune regulation of measles virus (MV) expression was studied in a persistently infected mouse macrophage cell line. Synthesis of both membrane-associated and internal MV antigens was suppressed when infected macrophages were treated with polyclonal rabbit anti-MV antibody that was specific for MV proteins. Persistently infected macrophages were treated for 3, 5, or 7 days with increasing doses of anti-MV antibody. All MV proteins were down-regulated 2 days after treatment was terminated. One week after treatment was terminated, down-regulation was still evident but to a lesser degree. MV protein synthesis was suppressed whether or not complement components were inactivated by heating all serum supplements and antibodies. However, when complement was active, cell lysis accounted for some of the reduced MV protein synthesis. When lytic destruction of infected cells by antibody and complement was prevented by inactivation of complement, antibody alone reduced the cellular synthesis of viral proteins by noncytolytic mechanisms. The absence of cell death in the absence of complement was confirmed by the lack of 51Cr release from labeled cells, the lack of reduction in cell number, and the lack of a decrease in total protein synthesis when radiolabeled infected cells were treated with antibody. It is noteworthy that low doses of antibody were optimal for suppression in the longer-term experiments and did not cause lysis, even in the presence of active complement. Since infected macrophages disseminate virus in measles infection, noncytolytic regulation of these cells by antibody may supplement viral clearance by cytolytic T cells and other immune mechanisms.
