摘要

Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of Chagas' disease, induces a state of lymphocyte hyporesponsiveness to both mitogenic and antigenic stimuli in mice during the acute phase of infection. Addition of spleen cells from T. cruzi-infected mice (SCinf) to microcultures of spleen cells from noninfected mice (SCn) suppresses the responsiveness of such cultures to antigenic challenge and to mitogenic stimulation. We analyzed the regulatory cell populations in SCinf by limiting dilution-partition analysis and found a complex regulatory circuit in T. cruzi-infected mice consisting of two suppressive macrophage subsets and an enhancing T-cell population. This T-cell population was able to abrogate or escape the suppressive ability of one suppressor macrophage subset, yet was suppressed by the other macrophage subset. To further study the cellular interactions of this regulatory circuit and analyze the suppressive abilities of the two suppressor macrophage subsets, we examined the effect of adding either primed T helper cells of known specificity or interleukin-2 to the limiting dilution-partition analysis microcultures. The results of these experiments suggest that one suppressor macrophage subset, which is abundant and, therefore, detected with low doses of SCinf, is able to suppress both mitogen- and primary antigen-specific responses but is unable to inhibit cells once they are already activated or primed. The other macrophage subset, which is presumably a less abundant or less active population (since high doses of SCinf are required to detect it), is able to suppress the response of activated or primed T cells by the inhibition of interleukin-2 production.
