Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi: B-1 cell expansion correlates with semiresistance in BALB/cJ mice.

Abstract:

:The largest obstacle impeding the development of an effective malaria vaccine is the incomplete understanding of how the immune response is regulated during infection. B-1a cells, a poorly understood subcategory of B lymphocytes, produce nonpathologic autoantibodies of low affinity which have been shown to have distinct immunoregulatory capabilities. What the exact activity of B-1a cells are during the course of malaria has yet to be determined. By use of flow cytometry, it was observed that B-1a cells significantly expand by day 3 postinfection in the spleen and peritoneum of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi semiresistant BALB/cJ mice, but not until day 8 postinfection in the spleen of P. chabaudi chabaudi fully susceptible BALB/cByJ mice. The activation of B-1a cells was also demonstrated by the measurement of natural autoantibody IgM production from the serum and cultured peritoneal B-1a cells. Infected semiresistant BALB/cJ mice generated higher levels of anti-ssDNA IgM antibodies than infected fully susceptible BALB/cByJ mice. The preliminary data presented here suggest a possible roll of B-1 cells in contributing to the successful survival of murine malarial infection.
