Abstract

A low frequency peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) subpopulation, referred to as natural interferon-producing (NIP) cells, is described as producing interferon-α (IFN-α) following contact with non-infectious viral structures, namely viral glycoproteins. These cells are characterized as non-T, non-B, MHC class II and CD4 cells. In this study, NIP cells were analysed after an intravenous injection of UV-inactivated transmissible gastroenteritis virus in newborn piglets, which resulted in strong serum IFN-α production. Spleno-cytes, but not PBMC, were the IFN-α producers . Using double immunohistochemical labelling for both IFN-α and leukocyte markers, we established that splenic NIP cells were not T or B cells. The majority were MHC class II and only a minority expressed a macrophage marker. NIP cells were localized in contact with MHC class II-expressing cells and T cells, which suggested that NIP cells might modulate the antiviral immune response.
