An hypothesis to explain why cell-mediated immunity alone can contain infections by certain intracellular parasites and how immune class regulation of the response against such parasites can be subverted.

Abstract:

:Cells with a low density of parasite-specific antigens on their surface are postulated to be susceptible to a cell-mediated attack but not to effector mechanisms normally activated following the binding of specific antibody to the infected cell. It is further postulated that such infected cells normally induce a cell-mediated response, and that cells infected with slow-growing intracellular parasites have a low density of parasite-specific antigens on their surface. Despite these general postulates, cell-mediated immunity is not invariably induced following natural infection by certain slow-growing parasites, such as those responsible for leprosy, tuberculosis, and the leishmaniases, and antibody can be induced that is exclusive of a strong, cell-mediated response. It is proposed that certain events in such cases subvert the normal regulatory processes that control the class of immunity induced. In these cases, the parasite-infected cells, bearing a low representation of parasite antigens, induce antibody even though they are not susceptible to antibody-dependent effector mechanisms, and so they are not eliminated. In this case, chronic infection and uncontrolled growth of the parasite occurs, often with fatal consequences.
