摘要

Macrophages are pivotal cells in interactions of man and leishmania. Leishmanial disease results from intracellular infection of macrophages: parasitized cells are seen in smears or biopsy specimens of lesions; macrophages cultured in vitro support replication of parasites. Paradoxically, parasite destruction is also mediated by macrophages, which become highly cytotoxic after exposure to immune lymphocytes or their lymphokine (LK) products. The precise molecular mechanisms by which lymphocytes or LK induce macrophage activation for leishmanicidal activity, however, are not yet known. We analyzed interactions of leishmania amatigotes with human monocytes cultured in vitro as a nonadherent cell pellet. Leishmania donovani and L. Major replicated in freshly isolated monocytes. Monocytes treated with 200 IU/ml of the LK, human Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), destroyed tumor cells and L. donovani, but not L. major. Phorbol myristate acetate, endotoxic bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and recombinant human IFN-alpha and IFN-beta did not induce cytotoxicity.
