Infection of mice with murine cytomegalovirus (CMV) presents a model for the study of the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of human CMV. We performed adoptive transfer experiments to evaluate the prospects for enhancing the anti-viral potential of murine CMV immune spleen cells by THF-gamma 2. Adult BALB/c mice resistant to murine CMV become highly susceptible following immunosuppression by cyclophosphamide. Recipient mice were injected with murine CMV and cyclophosphamide concomitantly, and 24 h later adoptive transfers of syngeneic immune spleen cells were performed. We showed that passive transfers of murine CMV immune spleen cells prevented the development of a fatal disease in 38% of the recipient mice. Daily injections of murine CMV immune donor mice with THF-gamma 2 enhanced considerably (93%) the therapeutic potential of virus-specific immune cells. These experiments provide direct evidence for the antiviral capacity of THF-gamma 2 through its immunomodulatory effect on immune T cells.
