摘要

Babesia microti produces a self-limiting infection in mice, and recovered mice are resistant to reinfection. In the present study, the role of T cells in protective immunity against challenge infection was examined. BALB/c mice which recovered from primary infection showed strong protective immunity against challenge infection. In contrast, nude mice which failed to control the primary infection and were cured with an antibabesial drug did not show protection against challenge infection. Treatment of immune mice with anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody (MAb) diminished the protective immunity against challenge infection, but treatment with anti-CD8 MAb had no effect on the protection. Transfer of CD4+ T-cell-depleted spleen cells resulted in higher parasitemia than transfer of CD8+ T-cell-depleted spleen cells. A high level of gamma interferon (IFN-γ), which was produced by CD4+ T cells, was observed for the culture supernatant of spleen cells from immune mice, and treatment of immune mice with anti-IFN-γ MAb partially reduced the protection. Moreover, no protection against challenge infection was found in IFN-γ-deficient mice. On the other hand, treatment of immune mice with MAbs against interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, or tumor necrosis factor alpha did not affect protective immunity. These results suggest essential requirements for CD4+ T cells and IFN-γ in protective immunity against challenge infection with B. microti.
