The TH2-mediated immune abnormalities observed in BN rats injected with mercuric chloride (HgCl2) are self-limited and it is probable that this regulation phase involves TH1-like cells.

Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) injections protect (Lewis x Brown-Norway) F1 (F1) rats against experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) induced by immunization with the retinal S antigen (S-Ag); in contrast HgCl2-injected F1 rats develop EAU following transfer of lymph node (LN) cells from rats immunized with S-Ag alone.

Since BN rats develop a TH2-biased polyclonal autoimmune syndrome upon exposure to HgCl2, whereas Lewis rats exhibit a resistant phenotype, possibly by generating a protective TH1 response, downregulation of IFN-gamma production may be a critical denominator in the disease process.

FACScan analysis of splenocytes from old and young rats revealed a defined increase in the frequency of CD45RB (RC)+/CD4+ T cells in the splenocyte population of older rats, suggesting an age-related shift to a more TH1-like phenotype.
