Abstract | To determine the impact of accumulating Ag exposure on immunity in the aging mouse, and to develop a model more relevant to humans who are exposed to multiple pathogens during life, we sequentially infected young female mice with four distinct pathogens at 8-wk intervals: murine γ-herpesvirus 68, Sendai virus, murine CMV, and Heligmosomoides polygyrus. Mock-infected mice received PBS. After aging the sequentially infected and mock-infected mice to 18-25 mo under specific pathogen-free conditions, we analyzed multiple immune parameters. We assessed transcriptional activity in peripheral blood, T cell phenotype, the diversity of influenza epitopes recognized by CD8 T cells, and the response of the animals to infection with influenza virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Our data show enhanced transcriptional activation in sequentially infected aged mice, with changes in some CD8 T cell subsets. However, there was no measurable difference in the response of mock-infected and sequentially infected aged mice to de novo infection with either influenza virus or M. tuberculosis at 18-21 mo. Unexpectedly, a single experiment in which 25-mo-old female mice were challenged with influenza virus revealed a significantly higher survival rate for sequentially infected (80%) versus mock-infected (20%) mice. These data suggest that although exposure to a variety of pathogen challenges in the mouse model does not overtly impact cellular markers of immunity in aged female mice following de novo respiratory infection, subtle changes may emerge in other compartments or with increasing age. |
