摘要: CD8+ T cells have been implicated as critical effector in protection against preerythrocytic stage malaria, including the potent protective immunity of mice and humans induced by immunization with radiation-attenuated Plasmodium spp. sporozoites. This is directed parasite developing within host hepatocyte for a number years has presumed to be mediated directly CTL or indirectly IFN-gamma released from cells. In this paper, BALB/c mice, we establish that after irradiated sporozoites DNA vaccines parasite-specific trigger novel mechanism adaptive dependent on cell- non-T cell-derived cytokines, particular IL-12, requires NK but not CD4+ The absolute requirement initiate such an mechanism, IL-12 vaccine-induced immunity, are unique underscore complexity immune responses protect malaria other intracellular pathogens.
