Mediation of immunity to Eimeria vermiformis in mice by L3T4+ T cells.
Immunity to infection with Eimeria vermiformis was transferred in NIH mice by both the nylon wool-adherent (B-cell-enriched) and nonadherent (T-cell-enriched) fractions of lymphocytes (spleen and mesenteric lymph node) taken from infected donors. Transfer was more variable with the adherent fraction, and when contaminating T cells were removed by treatment with anti-Thy1 monoclonal antibody (MA...
متن کاملIntestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes sustain the epithelial barrier function against Eimeria vermiformis infection.
Eimeria spp. are intracellular protozoa that infect intestinal epithelia of most vertebrates, causing coccidiosis. Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) that reside at the basolateral site of epithelial cells (EC) have immunoregulatory and immunoprotective roles against Eimeria spp. infection. However, it remains unknown how IEL are involved in the regulation of epithelial barrier during...
متن کاملIntestinal changes associated with expression of immunity to challenge with Eimeria vermiformis.
To provide more information on the mechanisms involved in the immune inhibition of eimeria infections, NIH mice were adoptively immunized against infection with Eimeria vermiformis by the transfer of mesenteric lymph node cells from primed animals and homologously challenged. Subsequent changes in the architecture and cellular composition of the intestine were compared with those observed in si...
متن کاملAge-dependent Requirement for γδ T Cells in the Primary but Not Secondary Protective Immune Response against an Intestinal Parasite
Between weaning (3 wk of age) and adulthood (7 wk of age), mice develop increased resistance to infection with Eimeria vermiformis, an abundant intestinal parasite that causes coccidiosis. This development of resistance was perturbed in T cell receptor (TCR)delta(-/-) mice, which at 4 wk of age remained largely susceptible to infection and prone to infection-associated dehydration. These phenot...
متن کاملGamma interferon-mediated inhibition of Eimeria vermiformis growth in cultured fibroblasts and epithelial cells.
The growth of Eimeria vermiformis within cultured murine fibroblastlike (L-929) or rat epithelial-like (RATEC) cells was inhibited by treatment of the cells with the appropriate recombinant gamma interferon. The effect was apparent as a reduction in both the initial numbers of intracellular sporozoites and, to a much greater extent, the numbers of subsequent developmental stages. Pretreatment o...
