The differentiation of antigen-stimulated naive CD4 T cells into T helper (Th)1 or Th2 effector cells can be prevented in vitro by transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and anti-interferon (IFN)-gamma. These cells proliferate and synthesize interleukin (IL)-2 but not IFN-gamma or IL-4, and can differentiate into either Th1 or Th2 cells. We have now used two-color Elispots to reveal substantial numbers of primed cells producing IL-2 but not IL-4 or IFN-gamma during the Th1- or Th2-biased immune responses induced by soluble proteins or with adjuvants. These cells were CD4(+)CD44(high) and were present during immediate and long-term immune responses of normal mice. Naive T cell receptor for antigen (TCR) transgenic (DO11.10) T cells were primed in vivo after adoptive transfer into normal hosts and FACS((R)) cloned under conditions that did not allow further differentiation. After clonal proliferation, aliquots of each clone were cultured in Th1- or Th2-inducing conditions. Many in vivo-primed cells were uncommitted, secreting IL-2 but not IL-4 or IFN-gamma at the first cloning step, but secreting either IL-4 or IFN-gamma after differentiation in the appropriate conditions. These in vivo-primed, uncommitted, IL-2-producing cells may constitute an expanded pool of antigen-specific cells that provide extra flexibility for immune responses by differentiating into Th1 or Th2 phenotypes later during the same or subsequent immune responses.
