Abstract

PR8 virus depressed interleukin-2 (IL-2) and natural killer (NK) cell activity in BALB/c infected mice. IL-2 production was not dependent on (i) a decreased number of T cells or (ii) a primary defect in IL-1 production, but on a T-suppressor cell subpopulation. In fact, when T suppressor cells were removed from infected spleen cells, we observed normal levels of IL-2 activity.
