Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide leading cause of death among infectious diseases. Development of safer and more efficacious vaccines requires a basic understanding of the protective mechanisms induced by BCG. Here we show that vaccination of cattle with BCG induces CD8+gamma/deltaTCR-CD45RO+ T-cells that can produce IFN-gamma, up-regulate transcription and expression of perforin, lyse BCG-infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMvarphi) and contribute to a reduction in the number of intracellular mycobacteria. We also observed BCG-induced CD8+ responses in vivo. After infection of cattle with Mycobacterium bovis, CD8+gamma/deltaTCR-CD45RO+ cells responded more strongly to M. bovis-infected MoMvarphi than to BCG-infected MoMvarphi. These results indicate that the antigen-specific CD8+ memory response resides in the CD8+gamma/deltaTCR-CD45RO+ cell population.
结核病(TB)仍然是全球传染病致死的主要原因。研发更安全、更有效的疫苗需要对卡介苗(BCG)诱导的保护机制有基本的了解。在此我们表明,用卡介苗给牛接种疫苗可诱导产生CD8+γ/δTCR-CD45RO+ T细胞,这些细胞可产生γ干扰素,上调穿孔素的转录和表达,裂解感染卡介苗的单核细胞衍生巨噬细胞(MoMφ),并有助于减少细胞内分枝杆菌的数量。我们还在体内观察到卡介苗诱导的CD8+反应。在用牛分枝杆菌感染牛后,CD8+γ/δTCR-CD45RO+细胞对感染牛分枝杆菌的MoMφ的反应比对感染卡介苗的MoMφ的反应更强。这些结果表明,抗原特异性CD8+记忆反应存在于CD8+γ/δTCR-CD45RO+细胞群体中。
