摘要: Recent studies have demonstrated that a subpopulation of neutrophils express the TCRαβ combinatorial immunoreceptor in humans and mice. Here, we report Plasmodium berghei ANKA murine malaria infection induces expansion TCRβ expressing CD11b+ Ly6G+ spleen during early phase infection. Measurement transcript protein levels wild-type versus nude Rag1 knockout mice establishes observed expression is not consequence nonspecific antibody staining or passive receptor due to phagocytosis trogocytosis peripheral T cells. Remarkably, on day 3 postinfection, highly significant correlation between proportion blood parasite burden. In addition, TCRβ+ phagocytose parasitized erythrocytes with 4-fold greater efficiency than TCRβ- neutrophils. Together these results signify TCR by neutrophil plays an important role regulation burden enhancing phagocytic capacity neutrophil.
