Several lines of evidence suggest that CD8 T cells are important in protection against tuberculosis. To understand the function of this cell population in the immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, T cells from lungs of M. tuberculosis-infected mice were examined by flow cytometry. The kinetics of the appearance of CD8 T cells in lungs of infected mice closely paralleled that of CD4 T cells. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells displaying an activated phenotype were found in the lungs as early as 1 week postinfection. By 2 weeks, total cell numbers in the lungs had tripled and percentages of T cells were increased two- to threefold; the percentages of CD4+ T cells were ca. twofold higher than those of CD8+ T cells. Short-term stimulation with M. tuberculosis-infected antigen-presenting cells induced cytokine production by primed CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Intracellular cytokine staining revealed that 30% ± 5% of CD4+ and 23% ± 4% of CD8+ T cells were primed for production of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma ). However, a difference in in vivo IFN-gamma production by T cells was observed with ~12% of CD4+ T cells and ~5% of CD8+ T cells secreting cytokine in the lungs at any given time during infection. The data presented indicate that although early in infection the majority of IFN-gamma is produced by CD4+ T cells, cytokine-producing CD8+ T cells are readily available when triggered by the appropriate stimuli.
