摘要: Immunity against parasites (protozoa and helminths) has traditionally been thought to depend exclusively on CD4+ helper functions controlling B-cell (i.e., antibody) lymphokine-mediated effector mechanisms. It is only within the last decade that CD8+ lymphocytes have demonstrated display protective activity parasitic infections. As would be predicted, most CD8+-dependent mechanisms are directed intracellular infecting host cells expressing class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) products. Nevertheless, there several examples of interacting with extra-cellular such as tachyzoites Toxoplasma gondii (Khan et al., 1988) or schistosomula Schistosoma mansoni (Butterworth 1979). In latter system, recognition dependent presence adsorbed MHC molecules parasite surface (Sher 1978). While killing protozoa parasitizing cells, environments affected organisms differ considerably. Because this, study parasite-CD8+ interactions provides some fascinating well highly relevant models for studying processing presentation foreign antigens by molecules.
