Follicular Helper T Cells are Essential for the Elimination of Plasmodium Infection
CD4+ follicular helper T (Tfh) cells have been shown to be critical for the activation of germinal center (GC) B-cell responses. Similar to other infections, Plasmodium infection activates both GC as well as non-GC B cell responses. Here, we sought to explore whether Tfh cells and GC B cells are required to eliminate a Plasmodium infection. A CD4 T cell-targeted deletion of the gene that encode...
متن کاملDisruption of IL-21 Signaling Affects T Cell-B Cell Interactions and Abrogates Protective Humoral Immunity to Malaria
Interleukin-21 signaling is important for germinal center B-cell responses, isotype switching and generation of memory B cells. However, a role for IL-21 in antibody-mediated protection against pathogens has not been demonstrated. Here we show that IL-21 is produced by T follicular helper cells and co-expressed with IFN-γ during an erythrocytic-stage malaria infection of Plasmodium chabaudi in ...
متن کاملThe Spleen CD4+ T Cell Response to Blood-Stage Plasmodium chabaudi Malaria Develops in Two Phases Characterized by Different Properties
The pivotal role of spleen CD4(+) T cells in the development of both malaria pathogenesis and protective immunity makes necessary a profound comprehension of the mechanisms involved in their activation and regulation during Plasmodium infection. Herein, we examined in detail the behaviour of non-conventional and conventional splenic CD4(+) T cells during P. chabaudi malaria. We took advantage o...
متن کاملInteraction of mouse dendritic cells and malaria-infected erythrocytes: uptake, maturation, and antigen presentation.
Consistent with their seminal role in detecting infection, both mouse bone marrow-derived and splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs) exhibited higher levels of uptake of Plasmodium chabaudi-parasitized RBCs (pRBCs) than of noninfected RBCs (nRBCs) as determined by our newly developed flow cytometric technique using the dye CFSE to label RBCs before coculture with DCs. To confirm that expression o...
متن کاملAnti-IL-2 Treatment Impairs the Expansion of Treg Cell Population during Acute Malaria and Enhances the Th1 Cell Response at the Chronic Disease
Plasmodium chabaudi infection induces a rapid and intense splenic CD4(+) T cell response that contributes to both disease pathogenesis and the control of acute parasitemia. The subsequent development of clinical immunity to disease occurs concomitantly with the persistence of low levels of chronic parasitemia. The suppressive activity of regulatory T (T(reg)) cells has been implicated in both d...
