Resistant C57BL/6 mice infected in the lungs with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and then therapeutically vaccinated with Mycobacterium leprae-derived hsp65 DNA develop severe granulomatous pneumonia and tissue damage. Analysis of cells accumulating in the lungs of these animals revealed substantial increases in T cells secreting tumor necrosis factor alpha and CD8 cells staining positive for granzyme B. Stimulation of lung cells ex vivo revealed very high levels of interleukin-10, some of which was produced by B-1 B cells. This was probably an anti-inflammatory response, since lung pathology was dramatically worsened in B-cell gene-disrupted mice.
