Two Leishmania strains, AZV (isolated from a typical case of American cutaneous leishmaniasis) and AMP (from a case of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis), were studied in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. After infection with 10(4) amastigotes of either strain, C57BL/6 mice developed self-resolving lesions lasting 20 to 23 weeks and showed both delayed hypersensitivity response to leishmanial antigen and specific agglutinating antibodies. On the other hand, BALB/c mice infected with 10(4) AZV or AMP amastigotes developed chronic, large, ulcerated lesions and showed impaired cellular and humoral responses to the parasite. When BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice received 10(2) AMP amastigotes, patterns of infection were similar to those observed after inoculation of 10(4) amastigotes. In vitro studies revealed that spleen cells from AZV- or AMP-infected C57BL/6 mice showed an increased DNA-synthetic response to leishmanial antigen, concanavalin A, and phytohemagglutinin. Spleen cells from AZV- or AMP-infected BALB/c mice showed an increased response to concanavalin A and diminished responses to leishmanial antigen, phytohemagglutinin, and lipopolysaccharide.
在C57BL/6和BALB/c小鼠中研究了两种利什曼原虫菌株,AZV(从一例典型的美洲皮肤利什曼病病例中分离得到)和AMP(从一例弥漫性皮肤利什曼病病例中分离得到)。用10⁴个任一菌株的无鞭毛体感染后,C57BL/6小鼠出现持续20至23周的自愈性病变,并对利什曼原虫抗原表现出迟发型超敏反应以及特异性凝集抗体。另一方面,感染10⁴个AZV或AMP无鞭毛体的BALB/c小鼠出现慢性、大的溃疡性病变,并对该寄生虫的细胞和体液反应受损。当BALB/c和C57BL/6小鼠接种10²个AMP无鞭毛体时,感染模式与接种10⁴个无鞭毛体后观察到的相似。体外研究显示,来自感染AZV或AMP的C57BL/6小鼠的脾细胞对利什曼原虫抗原、刀豆球蛋白A和植物血凝素的DNA合成反应增强。来自感染AZV或AMP的BALB/c小鼠的脾细胞对刀豆球蛋白A的反应增强,而对利什曼原虫抗原、植物血凝素和脂多糖的反应减弱。
