RESUMO

We have previously demonstrated that parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3), a significant respiratory pathogen, can markedly inhibit T-cell function in vitro. We now report that the virus potently induces interleukin-10 (IL-10) production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The IL-10 produced contributes to viral inhibition of T-cell proliferation and protects T cells from PIV3-mediated apoptosis. These findings suggest that IL-10 is likely to play an important immunoregulatory role in PIV3 infections.
