Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-10 collude in vaccine failure for novel exacerbatory antigens in murine Leishmania major infection.
Leishmaniasis affects 12 million people but there are no vaccines in routine use. Recently, we used DNA vaccination in a susceptible BALB/c high-dose model of infection to screen 100 novel Leishmania major genes as vaccine candidates. In addition to finding novel protective antigens, we identified several antigens that reproducibly exacerbated disease. Here we examined the immune response to tw...
متن کاملIL-10 from regulatory T cells determines vaccine efficacy in murine Leishmania major infection.
Leishmaniasis affects 12 million people, but there are no vaccines. Immunological correlates of vaccine efficacy are unclear. Polarized Th1 vs Th2 responses in Leishmania major-infected mice suggested that a shift in balance from IL-4 to IFN-gamma was the key to vaccine success. Recently, a role for IL-10 and regulatory T cells in parasite persistence was demonstrated, prompting re-evaluation o...
متن کاملIL-27 regulates IL-10 and IL-17 from CD4+ cells in nonhealing Leishmania major infection.
Control of infection caused by Leishmania major requires the development of IFN-gamma+CD4+ lymphocytes for the induction of microbicidal activity in host macrophages. We recently reported on the inability of conventionally resistant C57BL/6 mice to successfully resolve infection by an isolate of L. major, despite a strong IFN-gamma response by the host. Susceptibility was caused by Ag-specific ...
متن کاملThe relative contribution of IL-4 receptor signaling and IL-10 to susceptibility to Leishmania major.
The roles of IL-10 and IL-4 receptor signaling were evaluated in a murine model of Leishmania major infection. In previous studies the L. major substrain LV39 caused progressive, nonhealing lesions in BALB/c mice deficient for IL-4R alpha-chain (IL-4R alpha), while substrain IR173 was highly controlled. To explore whether IL-10 is responsible for inducing susceptibility to LV39, wild-type and I...
متن کاملIL-17 Mediates Immunopathology in the Absence of IL-10 Following Leishmania major Infection
Leishmaniasis, resulting from infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania, consists of a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, from healing cutaneous lesions to fatal visceral infections. A particularly severe form of cutaneous leishmaniasis, termed mucosal leishmaniasis, exhibits decreased IL-10 levels and an exaggerated inflammatory response that perpetuates the disease. Using a mous...
