Local T cell subsets in mumps meningitis.

H Nagai, T Morishima, Y Morishima

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |November 1, 1983

    Summary

    Mumps meningitis involves significant T-cell accumulation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Suppressor/cytotoxic T cells and activated T cells are notably increased in the CSF during the acute phase.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Virology
    • Cellular Immunology

    Background:

    • Mumps virus is a common cause of viral meningitis.
    • Understanding the immune response in the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial for managing meningitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the T-cell subsets and immune cell activation in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during acute mumps meningitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMN) from patients with mumps meningitis.
    • Immunophenotyping using monoclonal antibodies (e.g., OKT 3, OKT 4, OKT 8) to identify T-cell populations.
    • Detection of immune-associated (Ia) antigen expression on CSF cells.

    Main Results:

    • Over 85% of CSF cells were OKT 3 positive in the acute phase, compared to 76% of peripheral mononuclear cells (PMN).
    • A significantly lower OKT 4:8 ratio in CSF indicated selective accumulation of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells.
    • 58% of CSF cells expressed immune-associated (Ia) antigens, suggesting the presence of activated T cells.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings demonstrate a distinct T-cell profile in the CSF during mumps meningitis, characterized by a high proportion of T-cells, a predominance of suppressor/cytotoxic T cells, and activated T cells.
    • This selective immune cell infiltration in the CNS highlights the localized inflammatory response to mumps virus infection.
