, is a kind of obligate intracellular pathogen. The removal of relies primarily on specific cellular immunity. It is currently considered that CD4 Th1 cytokine responses are the major protective immunity against infection and reinfection rather than CD8 T cells. The non-specific immunity (innate immunity) also plays an important role in the infection process. To survive inside the cells, the first process that faces is the innate immune response. As the "sentry" of the body, mast cells attempt to engulf and remove . Dendritic cells present antigen of to the "commanders" (T cells) through MHC-I and MHC-II. IFN-γ produced by activated T cells and natural killer cells (NK) further activates macrophages. They form the body's "combat troops" and produce immunity against in the tissues and blood. In addition, the role of eosinophils, basophils, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), natural killer T (NKT) cells, γδT cells and B-1 cells should not be underestimated in the infection of . The protective role of innate immunity is insufficient, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) caused by infections tend to be insidious and recalcitrant. As a consequence, has developed a unique evasion mechanism that triggers inflammatory immunopathology and acts as a bridge to protective to pathological adaptive immunity. This review focuses on the recent advances in how evades various innate immune cells, which contributes to vaccine development and our understanding of the pathophysiologic consequences of infection.
刚地弓形虫是一种专性细胞内寄生原虫。其清除主要依赖于特异性细胞免疫。目前认为 CD4 Th1 细胞因子应答是针对弓形虫感染和再感染的主要保护性免疫,而不是 CD8 T 细胞。非特异性免疫(固有免疫)在感染过程中也起着重要作用。为了在细胞内生存,刚地弓形虫首先要面对的是固有免疫应答。作为机体的“岗哨”,肥大细胞试图吞噬并清除刚地弓形虫。树突状细胞通过 MHC-I 和 MHC-II 将刚地弓形虫抗原呈递给“指挥官”(T 细胞)。活化的 T 细胞和自然杀伤细胞(NK)产生的 IFN-γ进一步激活巨噬细胞。它们形成机体的“战斗部队”,在组织和血液中产生针对刚地弓形虫的免疫。此外,在刚地弓形虫感染中,嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞、固有淋巴细胞(ILCs)、自然杀伤 T(NKT)细胞、γδT 细胞和 B-1 细胞的作用也不容小觑。固有免疫的保护作用不足,由刚地弓形虫感染引起的性传播疾病(STDs)往往较为隐匿和顽固。因此,刚地弓形虫已经发展出一种独特的逃避机制,引发炎症性免疫病理,并作为保护性适应性免疫向病理性适应性免疫的桥梁。本综述重点关注刚地弓形虫逃避各种固有免疫细胞的最新进展,这有助于疫苗的开发和我们对刚地弓形虫感染病理生理后果的理解。
