Resistance to and control of Cryptosporidium parvum infection in mice in the absence of adaptive immunity appears to be gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) dependent. Using an IFN-gamma-neutralizing antibody in a murine model, we demonstrated increased susceptibility to infection within 24 h. We correlated this early resistance and control with increased mucosal expression of IFN-gamma and demonstrate that CD8+ T-cell receptor alphabeta intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes express and secrete this cytokine shortly after infection. The rapid kinetics of IFN-gamma expression and secretion by naive CD8+ T cells in response to a protozoan pathogen have not previously been demonstrated.
在缺乏适应性免疫的情况下,小鼠对微小隐孢子虫感染的抵抗力和控制似乎依赖于γ干扰素(IFN-γ)。在小鼠模型中使用IFN-γ中和抗体,我们证明在24小时内对感染的易感性增加。我们将这种早期抵抗力和控制与IFN-γ黏膜表达增加相关联,并证明CD8⁺T细胞受体αβ肠上皮内淋巴细胞在感染后不久表达并分泌这种细胞因子。以前尚未证明幼稚CD8⁺T细胞对原生动物病原体反应时IFN-γ表达和分泌的快速动力学。
