The secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha from macrophages is regulated by both priming and triggering signals. We found that macrophages from mice lacking gamma delta T cells [T cell receptor (TCR) delta-/- mice], which lack the gene encoding the delta chain, produced only small amounts of TNF-alpha in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and showed a reduced level of expression of CD14. Pre-incubation of macrophages from TCR delta-/- mice with gamma delta T cells from their TCR delta +/- littermates restored their capacity to produce TNF-alpha in response to LPS. The priming activity of gamma delta T cells was in part inhibited by neutralizing anti-interferon (IFN)-gamma monoclonal antibodies. Collectively, these results suggest that gamma delta T cells play a role in priming macrophages to a steady state of activation via IFN-gamma secretion, which allows them to produce TNF-alpha when exposed to LPS.
