Abstract

The innate immune response against replication-defective adenoviruses (Ad) is poorly defined. We and others have previously observed striking differences in the rate at which the Ad vector itself or the virus encoding a variety of transgenes is eliminated in different mouse strains. Here, we report that Ad infection of BALB/ mice is associated with sixfold-higher levels of serum alanine aminotransferase and that Ad transgenes induce two- to threefold-higher levels of intrahepatic NK cells and NK activity compared to C57BL/6 mice. The increase in NK activation in BALB/c mice was associated with approximately 4-fold higher level of mRNA expression of a newly described NKG2 receptor activator, H-60, as well as increased expression of interleukin-12 and gamma interferon mRNAs in BALB/c mice compared to C57BL/6 mice. NK depletion in BALB/c mice or defective NK function in C3H beige mice extended transgene expression compared to their appropriate controls, and attenuation of NK together with CD8 T-cell function had a synergistic effect. These findings indicate that there are intrinsic differences in the innate immune responses of different mouse strains to Ad and Ad transgenes and that NK cells, in cooperation with CD8 T cells, play ...Continue Reading
