Abstract
For analysis of the role of immune T cells in protective immunity against murine malaria, Plasmodium yoelii-immune Lyt T-cell subsets were functionally characterized in vitro and in vivo. Selected Lyt2- and Lyt2+ T cells from P. yoelii-immune C57BL/10 mice differed in their capability to proliferate in response to P. yoelii antigen in vitro. Only the Lyt2- T-cell population produced T-cell growth factor upon restimulation, and none of the selected T-cell subsets produced detectable amounts of macrophage activating factor. Lyt2- but not Lyt2+ lymphocytes were capable of transferring protection to normal C57BL/10 mice. When transferred into T-cell-deficient C57BL/6-nu/nu mice, adoptive resistance to P. yoelii by Lyt2- lymphocytes was only demonstrable after prior reconstitution of recipients with normal T cells. These results suggest an interaction between P. yoelii-immune Lyt2- T cells and normal T lymphocytes via T-cell growth factor in the development of protective immunity to malaria.
