Cytokines and T-cell response in malaria
A B Cruz Cubas et al. Biomed Pharmacother. 1994.
Abstract
The intracellular protozoan Plasmodium sp induces a complex immune response which sometimes implies serious pathological effects for the host. According to in vitro studies and epidemiological surveys, several effector mechanisms are displayed against plasmodial blood stages and a large interaction between humoral and cell-mediated immunity is presumed to occur among protected individuals. The key role of T cells in the antiplasmodial immune response is now well established, but all the regulatory heterogenous mechanisms are not yet fully known. An increasing body of data shows a dual role during malaria attack for some cytokines released by monocytes and macrophages (TNF, IL-1, IL-6) or by T cells (IFN-gamma, lymphotoxin (LT), IL-4). The importance of some plasmodial proteins in the cytokine-induced pathology and the stimulation of a preferential TH1 or TH2 mediated immune response to achieve protective immunity against Plasmodium sp are discussed.
