Toxoplasma gondii: kinetics of lymphocyte subsets in blood and spleen of perorally infected mice.

Abstract:

:The blood and spleen lymphocyte subsets and parasite burdens in blood, lungs, and brain were determined serially in C57B1/6 mice infected with an avirulent strain of Toxoplasma gondii. Five mice were sacrificed at various time points after infection; Thy1-2+, Ly5+, CD4+, CD8+, and Ly6c+ lymphocyte subsets and macrophages were determined in blood and spleen by cytofluorometry and parasite burdens were quantified in blood, lungs, and brain by means of a tissue culture method. In infected mice, a large increase in the percentage of CD8+ lymphocytes in blood was observed from Day 14, peaking at Day 21; the percentage of CD4+ lymphocytes was not significantly modified compared with uninfected controls. Analysis of Ly6 antigen expression on T lymphocytes showed that CD8+Ly6c+ cells were largely predominant at the different stages of infection. Similar results were obtained for spleen cells. The marked increase in CD8+Ly6c+ cells in the early phase of infection was associated with the clearance of parasites from the lungs. Furthermore, the proportion of CD8+Ly-6c+ remained high until Day 162, when the infection was at the chronic stage. These results suggest that CD8+Ly6c+ lymphocytes may be involved in the control of toxoplasmosis in the acute phase and in the containment of the infection in the chronic stage.
